BERT SOMMER - LIVE AT WOODSTOCK

Bert Sommer is an artist who fame and fortune sadly overlooked. He was the third act to perform at the Woodstock festival, and took the stage at approximately 7:00pm after a somewhat dismissive introduction by (master of ceremonies) Mr "Chip" Monck. He received the first standing ovation of the festival before silently slipping into obscurity within a few short years. He sadly passed away in 1990 at the young age of 41.

If there was ever a strong argument in favour of file-sharing then it would be to celebrate the music of this forgotten hero of the 1960s. His albums are long out of print, his name doesn't appear on the plaque at the Woodstock site, and his performance was cut from almost every media release from the festival. This is his complete set, with stage announcements and interruptions, exactly as it happened on that August evening in 1969.

Enjoy...and share.
