Actually LIan's Irish folk music thread made me think of this, because the fast strumming made me think of Richie Havens.
"In 1969, Havens opened the Woodstock Festival, although he was initially scheduled to appear fifth on the bill. His performance received continuous ovations and he kept playing encores until he ran out of songs. Finally, he decided to improvise a version of "Motherless Child," to which he added a verse with the word "freedom" repeated over and over" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA51wyl-9IE |
