The year 1969 proved to be an epic one in the too-short history of Creedence Clearwater Revival. In that year alone, the band released three Top Ten albums, and had four hit singles and three charting B-sides. In addition to the incredible quantity and quality of their releases, the band also played the Woodstock music festival, played on the Ed Sullivan show twice and toured throughout North America. Commemorating the forty-fifth anniversary of this banner year, Fantasy Records launched its Creedence Clearwater Revival 1969 initiative with vinyl re-issues timed to coincide with their original release dates: Bayou Country was released on January 14th, Green River on August 5th and Willy and the Poor Boys on November 4th. Also coming in 2014 are a new Greatest Hits package and High Resolution Audio releases. On Record Store Day — April 19, 2014 — Fantasy Records will make available a limited-edition 10-inch vinyl disc titled The ’69 Singles [Record Store Day Exclusive]. Featured are eight chart-topping hits: “Proud Mary,” “Born on the Bayou,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Lodi,” “Green River,” “Commotion” (the B-side of “Green River”), “Down on the Corner” and “Fortunate Son.” – See more at:...

By Benjy Eisen March 18, 2014 10:50 AM ET The Disco Biscuits have teamed up with two unlikely special guests for a headlining slot at this year’s Gathering of the Vibes: The Grateful Dead’s Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. While next year will mark the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary, this will be the first time the two drummers will perform together since 2011, when their project, the Rhythm Devils, went on indefinite hiatus. The Grateful Dead disbanded in 1995, following the untimely death of default band leader Jerry Garcia. The Disco Biscuits with the Grateful Dead’s rhythm section may seem like an unusual pairing at first, but the unexpected collaboration makes sense to the musicians. “I grew up on the Grateful Dead, so I’m particularly psyched to have both Billy and Mickey joining us,” keyboardist Aron Magner tells Rolling Stone. “Though our music is quite different, the ethos is the same – both on the improvisational level as well as in the sense of community that our bands have created with our fans.” Although nothing has been worked out yet, fans can expect to hear material from both bands’ catalogs. Talking to Rolling Stone from his home in Hawaii, Kreutzmann predicts that the adventurous combination of styles will create a space that will allow the two camps to do what they both do best – jam. “It’s going to get weird. It’s going to get far out. And it’s going to be something completely different,” says Kreutzmann. “Exactly what all involved parties are known for.” While Deadheads hold their collective breath for news of any potential 50th anniversary activity, it is appropriate that the drummers will reunite at Gathering of the Vibes. The last time the pair performed together was also at the festival, three years ago. “Any day playing drums with Bill is a very good day,” Hart tells Rolling Stone. “The Disco Biscuits seem to prefer trance/space, moment music. Bill and I are quite familiar with the genre. Let the fun begin!” The Gathering of the Vibes launched in 1996 as a way for Deadheads to come together and keep in touch, in the days and years after the Grateful Dead’s breakup. It has since grown into one of the Northeast’s largest summer music festivals and has diversified its lineup to include acts ranging from Jane’s Addiction to Jimmy Cliff. More than 25,000 fans are expected at this year’s event. Other artists that...

The Ulster County resident who staged the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969 and the property where he held a 25th anniversary concert are both linked to a music festival planned for the summer. Michael Lang, a Town of Woodstock resident who, along with partners, staged the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in August 1969, is working with the owners of the Winston Farm in Saugerties in relation to a music festival set for the property. The Winston Farm, owned by the Schaller Family, was the site for a 25th anniversary Woodstock concert in August 1994 that featured Bob Dylan, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith and others. The Woodstock concert in 1969 featured performances by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and The Who, among others, and attracted hundreds of thousands to Sullivan County. Promoter MCP Presents on Friday received approval from the state and Ulster County to begin promoting the upcoming Winston Farm festival and selling tickets for the event, said Saugerties Town Supervisor Greg Helsmoortel. MCP Presents must still obtain a mass gathering permit from the Town of Saugerties for the event, called the Hudson Music and Arts Festival, Helsmoortel said. Ulster County Legislator Chris Allen, D-Saugerties, said the bands My Morning Jacket and Bassnectar are among the acts expected for the festival, which will span multiple days and offer camping. Helsmoortel said 20,000 people are expected to attend. A yoga festival expected to draw 5,000 people is also planned for the property, Helsmoortel said. John W.

Home of the legendary ’69 woodstock The location of Mysteryland’s inaugural U.S. event is no coincidence. It is the first music festival to return to the hallowed grounds where Woodstock took place. Mysteryland has had a tremendous impact on the music world and it is the logical festival to follow in the footsteps of the original ground-breaking music event, Woodstock. … Woodstock represented the music of a new generation and cultural tour de force for the changing times, and today Mysteryland brings together the global forces of dance music for the new generation’s revolution. Promoters from all over the world have been trying for decades to convince the owners of the Bethel Woods site, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, to host large-scale festivals in this special location. After a year of talks, ID&T won approval for the first U.S. edition of Mysteryland, which is also held annually in the Netherlands and Chile. We truly look forward to providing you and your friends with a culturally immersive and engaging experience at the first-ever Mysteryland USA in Bethel...
