Personally I would record all the tracks to 2 channel stereo and then play them back with either a cd\mp3 player or laptop.If your are playing a guitar then its just drums\bass and poss.organ.Ive always used backing tracks when Ive performed live and you can always alter them on the fly when working out your audience.frankie

The books have the melody. If you are good enough to do without fine. Each piece takes me about 10 minutes. In 2 hours you have enough to fill a set easily.
I know guys here would take it to a DAW, add the signature licks, bring the organ in on exactly the 22nd bar 3rd beat just like the Band did when they recorded a live performance on the Isle of Wight after drinking 7 pints of warm guiness during a hailstorm that lasted 10 minutes and shorted out the bass player's wiring and messing with everyone's bandana. Oh well.
I'm sure the original impresario did Scarborough Fair totally different from the way the wife plays it on the flute with me on keys. He probably wore a hat with wee bells and was starving to death and the troubadours with him were busy picking pockets. I never felt the need to recreate the period to that degree, anyway there were no women allowed then. Music was a man's game. See how far we've evolved. I cook, she works, I let her play instruments and she votes.
I'd better go and make brunch or else...
The only good thing about going deaf is the wife can't give me the silent treatment.....LOL

Thanks, Frankie - it is just that I have never witnessed anybody actually doing this for real. If you have original music,we would love you to come and play in Vienna. I am Chairman of Folk Acoustic Revolution and we have a regular Thursday night slot under the name of Vienna Folk Club plus we have Singer/Songwriter Festivals and so on. Just let me know!

The video where they did this on the Isle of Wight is much better, Robbie wrote it, but Levon sang it better. They don't talk to each other..and then... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU0kknHmVeY

But that's a cover. Kind of like showing me some dudes from New York doing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan trying to do the tune the same.
And I'm not being a misogynist, but there's a woman in that band.
Kind of like having Anne Murray singing "To all the girls I've loved before..."
I like the live stuff, like the Aisle of Wright concerts, nudge nudge wink wink, she a goer?

Agreed, Nice film footage though. Is she a goer? She's probably a gonner by now!

Nice film footage??
Haven't you ever seen "Easy Rider"?
Probably your opening song (if you are hosting a "Hippie" party) should be "Born To Be Wild".

Hippy? Born to be wild? Not a chance.
It's flowers in your hair, protest songs, marching, We shall overcome, Ohio, White Rabbit, Janis Joplin, CSNY, Jefferson Airplane, The Turtles, Yardbirds, Cat Stevens (Peacetrain), Lovin' Spoonful,
Mama's and Poppas, (Cass Eliot the EarthMother of Hippydom...) and on we go.
Born to be wild was the start of heavy metal music, the hippy era was ending, about 69, and music changed. There is some cross-over, but as I was a late teen during the era, wore the sandals and the weird shirts and wore my hair long and protested, and got arrested,...well I just don't see born to be wild a hippy thing at all. Good music though. Think laid back protest, not cranked up.
But, that's my o p i n i o n.

That song was released in '68. It's a great opening song. What's heavy metal got to do with it? Hippie music was wide ranging from folk to infinity. "Puff the magic dragon"? What was there to protest in the bush of Canada? Isn't hippie spelled with ie? As an ex-hippie I believe that it is!

The Easy Rider and Biker culture have nothing to do with hippie, hippy, culture. Totally different styles, types of people, and in many ways bikers were the opposite of hippies. Musical eras overlap.
In 66 you'd still hear Sinatra, Patsy Cline, the Beatles, and the Stones at breakfast on the radio. Drove my Mom nuts.
And Born to be Wild was, considered by many, to be the birth of heavy metal.
About the time of Woodstock a cultural shift was taking place. Many of those who were anti-Vietnam and pro peace felt they did their time, and got the result.
I went into the bush about May 1970 and came back out in 1981 to places where there was TV. I lived about 80 miles due north of the middle of Lake Superior. Some places we worked if you walked north you'd never hit a road until somewhere in Russia. -40 all winter. So songs from that 10 years I may have heard, and may have played in the last 2 years when we moved to a small town where I played keys in a band. Jeez we got 8 bucks each and there were 5 of us. I had a Wurlitzer piano and one of the guys had some weird early synth he couldn't play but I could. 1/2 the songs were country and western though.
Back to switching between curling and lacrosse. Good night for TV, there's 3 hockey games on too.
Now I'm itchin' for a beer in the kitchen but need some ambition to perambulate. I used to send my dog. It was slobbery though. Or is it slobberie. Good name for a pale beer. Dog Slobber. LOL.

I think there is a real ale in England with a name like that! Born To Be Wild is a bit heavy metal - it even uses the expression 'heavy metal thunder' which is a clear signpost but it works nicely on the acoustic. Patsy Cline is a definite, as are the Beatles and Stones. Please remember that, apart from this Hippy / Hippie party, I am also looking for good songs to busk with. Thanks very much

I get what yer saying but I think you're too ahead of schedule. I don't see it vaporizing till the elections of 72.
