I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag
[1967]
Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel: Joseph Allen "Country Joe" McDonald
The "Fish" Cheer/I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag
Un pezzo contro la guerra nel Vietnam.
Resta celebre il grido che Country Joe McDonald lanciava nei concerti invitando il pubblico allo spelling della parola "F-U-C-K", esortando la folla a reagire contro una politica estera che voleva gli Stati Uniti impegnati in una guerra già persa.
L'apparizione del gruppo a Woodstock nel 1969 coinvolse in questo grido mezzo milione di persone.

"Si potrebbe dire che m'è presa la fissa dell'iscatolamento', eheh! e qualcuno dirà che c'è un modo migliore ;-)), vabbe', è qui che mi sfrigola a farmi compagnia col suo glorioso vinile Vanguard d'annata, 'sta canzone, una marcetta country... (continuer)

Volunteers
[1969]
(Balin - Kantner)
Da/From "Volunteers"
In un periodo in cui i volontari (ma anche i non volontari) partivano per il Vietnam questa canzone propone un tipo diverso di volontari, i volontari della nuova generazione, del pacifismo americano. La canzone è un vero e proprio inno alla resistenza dell'"Amerca Alternativa".
The song is a call to take a stand against the US government and the war in Vietnam. Jefferson Airplane were a big part of the San Francisco protest scene in the '60s.
Volunteers was the last album the band recorded before massive personnel changes altered their original sound, which was Psychedelic Rock.
Jefferson Airplane played a spirited version at Woodstock 6 months before the song came out. This performance is NOT included on the original soundtrack and in the movie.
The Jefferson Airplane was not featured in the Woodstock movie, but in the director's cut... (continuer)

Woodstock 1969
The Star Spangled Banner
Woodstock 1969: l'inno americano eseguito distortissimo dalla chitarra elettrica di Jimi Hendrix diventava la più forte delle canzoni contro la guerra. Il pezzo non ha parole, almeno nella versione di Hendrix.
Woodstock 1969: the U.S. anthem played by the heavily distorted Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster became the strongest antiwar song ever. Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner" has no words.
Not all songs need lyrics to make a statement about the Vietnam War. At Woodstock Jimi Hendrix played his own all guitar version of "The Star Spangled Banner." Hendrix used awesome distortion and unconventional guitar techniques to create powerful imagery through sound. Hendrix creates this imagery when he deviates from the actual song and uses high notes to symbolize a falling bomb and then distortion which sound like the explosion. He also manages to make the sound of gun fire by pounding quickly on his guitar.... (continuer)

Zilphia Horton, Frank Hamilton, Guy Carawan, Pete Seeger
Una canzone talmente celebre da essere creduta generalmente di autore anonimo: come tale fu erroneamente inserita nelle "CCG primitive", e da qui nel sito in un primo momento. In effetti si tratta a tutti gli effetti, oramai, di una canzone popolare (la cui fama nacque con la sua adozione come "inno" del movimento per i diritti civili di Martin Luther King, nel 1963); ma l'autore è Pete Seeger, che si ispirò a uno spiritual negro del XIX secolo, "No More Auction Block for me" (ovvero qualcosa come: "Non mettetemi più all'asta", un titolo agghiacciante...) per la musica ed al gospel "I'll Overcome Some Day" di Charles Tindley (1900) per le parole. [Riccardo Venturi, 6.11.04]
La canzone deriva forse da una canzone gospel, probabilmente del 1903 del Rev. Charles Tindley di Philadelphia che conteneva il verso ripetuto più volte... (continuer)
