  • Marking 50 Years Since the Niverville Pop Festival
    LOCAL NEWS The Party of the Century: Marking 50 Years Since the Niverville Pop Festival May 07, 2020 @ 12:30am Brenda Sawatzky [email protected] Crowds gather for the infamous Niverville Pop Festival in May 1970. On stage: Dianne Heatherington. Photo: Hans Sipma The hippie movement was alive and well in 1970, riding on the waves of the 1967 Summer of Love where more than a hundred thousand hippies converged on San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district to celebrate counterculture music, drugs, free love, and anti-war sentiment. In 1969, Woodstock, New York became famous for its three days of peace and music. Nine months later, hippies would once again amass—this time at a setting much closer to home. This local music event would go down in history not just for the calibre of bands scheduled to play but the memorable events that followed. Sunday, May 24, 1970 was the day of the Niverville Pop Festival. Niverville’s Woodstock During the 1960s and 70s, Winnipeg was a hotbed of young musical talent. One of those bands, called Brother, was quickly rising in notoriety. Its members included Bill Wallace, Kurt Winter, and Vance Masters, and their talent established them as one of the city’s hottest supergroups. Harold Wiebe, formerly of the Niverville area, recalls a night spent in the pub of the Westminster Hotel. There, friend and band member Bill Wallace joined him for a drink between sets. Wallace shared with him an idea to recreate Woodstock right here at home. But unlike Woodstock, Wallace wanted this event to have a charitable purpose.

Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the emergence of Canadian popular music and the development of music genres that enjoyed the greatest popularity in Canada. A significant part of the thesis is devoted to an investigation of conditions connected to the relation of Canadian music and Canadian sense of identity and uniqueness. Further, an account of Canadian radio broadcasting and induction of regulating acts which influenced music production in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century are given. Moreover, the effectiveness and contributions of these regulating acts are summarized and evaluated. Last but not least, the main characteristics of the music style of a female singer songwriter Joni Mitchell are examined.

  • Mark Doble's Authori
    Ambassador Theatre, St Louis, MO; June 5, 1974 Thanks to Cyrus for sharing the show at Dime. Cyrus noted: Mark Doble’s authoritative and comprehensive essay “Burton Through The Boot- legs” has the following to say about this particular recording: “The Live At The Ambassador Theatre bootleg may in fact be the finest bootleg of the Guess Who in existence. Recorded from a stereo FM Broadcast, the recording includes 19 songs, all of the hits as well as some notable gems such as an impromptu rendition of Bobby Darin’s “Artificial Flowers” by Burton while Bill’s bass amp was being repaired. (One wonders if it was opportunities like this that provided Burt with the idea of performing in his UP CLOSE AND ALONE format of the mid-1990s.) The performances on this recording are outstanding. Of particular note are the versions of “Straighten Out”, “Self Pity” and “Orly”, where Burton lets loose as only Burton can. At the conclusion of the broadcast, the announcer played back a short a cappella excerpt of the “Leave It To Beaver” television theme sung by Burton and the boys in the studio the previous day. Overall, the sound quality of this bootleg is spectacular. If there is a “Must Have” in the collection of Guess Who bootlegs, this is it! This show was also one of the last concerts the Guess Who would play with Kurt Winter and Donnie McDougall in the lineup. The pressures between the folks had been boiling over for a while now, and they would shortly depart from the band to be replaced by guitarist extraordinaire Domenic Troiano...” - Info thanks to “rocksteady1” + + + + + Lineage: KSHE FM Radio Broadcast > ? > CDR > EAC Secure > FLAC Frontend 8 MP3 Version Disc 1 Disc 2 01.

  • The Guess Who Loosen Things up Psyc ~Week-Features Lecture, Panel
    Page 3 horizons. Surprisingly, the band has remained unaffected by the loss of two fine The Guess Who loosen things up guitarists in a row; Randy Bachman left in 1970 (now of Bachman-Turner-Over-rated) and Kurt Winter was fired last year by Cummings. ("Had to. He was a drunk you know" Cummings) However, Troiano's guitar work is much more explorative than either of the latter two. His guitar is much more supple, as opposed to Bachman's hard edge or Winters' predictability. Troiano lends a much needed freshness to the band that will insure their re­ emergence as a major force in rock. In the last three years, the group has lost a large portion of their once pop-oriented audience because they are playing more progressive material. Though they like to emphasize that material in their current concerts, they ran through plenty of their old chartbusters. "No Time", "Hang on to Your Life" and "American Woman" were given high-powered treatments, and Burt Cummings found the time to masterfully flute his way through "Un· dun". The' high point of the show was the bands' rendition of "Stary Baby", in which pianist-vocalist Cummings led a charge that General Patton would've admired.
