[Description by Uncle Ricky]
Hour 36 of the First and Original History Of Rock And Roll, contributed by Norm Garr, features music from 1966 and 1967, and ends the 12 hour chart sweep of the History. It also includes the late Otis Redding performing live at The Monterey Pop Festival, just a few months before his untimely death at the young age of 26.
Norm’s recordings are copies from the tapes given to listeners who won a complete set of this original HR&R. They are one generation down from the masters, containing program content only – no news, no commercials. The original broadcast by KHJ was on Saturday, February 22, 1969, between 11PM and 12 Midnight. Due to some excessive “splatter”, one song in this exhibit was restored.
Our host is Robert W. Morgan. Total time would suggest the hour was scheduled with two minutes of commercials and one ten-minute newscast. Bob Dylan, Donovan and Eric Clapton appear in this hour of the Rockumentary.
