ANN ARBOR BLUES FESTIVAL
The Ann Arbor Blues Festival came at the height of the Great Pop Festival Overzap of 1969, and for all but the ivory tower bluesfreaks it took a certain readjustment of one’s sensibility to be able to take it all in the proper sensory-emotional perspective.
ANN ARBOR BLUES FESTIVAL
The Ann Arbor Blues Festival came at the height of the Great Pop Festival Overzap of 1969, and for all but the ivory tower bluesfreaks it took a certain readjustment of one’s sensibility to be able to take it all in the proper sensory-emotional perspective. It was kind of weird, almost disconcerting to come floating down the slope intothe lush green saucer of the festival field and hear slide guitar and one voice floating out over all those people. The energy was there, but it seemed to disappear when it came out ot the p.a., swallowed up by the interference effect of the crowd’s vibrations. What with this and that, the passage of time and some dynamite sets, though, things came together and the weekend was an unqualified success.
