Up Around The bend--CCR-1970-#4
M&L--John C. Fogerty
Rock in 1970 was the sound of things beginning to fall apart.The music--and the hype surrounding it--had represented an unprecedented show of unity through the rock boom of the late 60s.Wheather it was true or not,musicians and fans had all been perceived as sharing a common vision,which grew out of the fact that as members of the same generation they shared a common experience.
If any single event shattered that illusion,it was the Rolling Stone's free concert at Atlamont Speedway near San Franscisco on 12/06/69.During the performance a gun-waving black youth was knifed to death by Hell's Angels serving as security guards.Three others died that afternoon,as did the idea of a generation of gentle hippies united behind their music,an image framed by the events at the Woodstock festival earlier that year.
Sounds of The Seventies
HOTEL CALIFORNIA...song & album released late 1976...M&L for song, Felder, Henley, Frey. This song is NOT about satanism; Hotel California is a euphemism for cocaine addiction in some areas.
VICTIM OF LOVE...same album, M&L by Don Felder, Don Henley, J.D. Souther, & Glenn Frey
Just two of many great Eagles' hits/albums of the 70s

Fell apart in 1970? oh man...I didn't see that...and I was there..Geesh..in 1970 no Americans had even heard of Pink Floyd yet, let alone bought one of their albums.
Rolling Stones?....don't get that...don't understand how they made it period. Anyway...perhaps the Viet Nam War ending changed things more than anything..that removed the cultural bind that many of the youth had. That lead to the 'gulp'
Disco Movement! oh no!

Uncle John's Band-The Greatful Dead-1970-#69
M&L--Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter
The Greatful Dead,primary organizers of the disastrous Altamont concert,had heretofore been known for their long,spacey,electric jams.By 1970,though,the Dead were arranging concise,well-rehearsed songs.Some of their best work is on Workingman's Dead,anacoustic album of countrified harmony tunes.

Fire and Rain--James Taylor-1970#3
M&L---James Taylor
James Taylor had not been a hit in the 60s.In fact Fire and Rain,his breakthrough recording,referred specigically to the failure of his group,the Flying Machine,with its line "sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground" Taylor ,whose drug addictions were documented by himself and the pop press for years,had spent time in a mental institution with the Suzanne of this song.
