THE BEATLES AND BEYOND… This is the story of a high school skiffle band that woke up one day in the

rarified air of international superstardom. The story of The Beatles is a story of friendships made and lost, musical barriers broken, and lives permanently altered

By April, 1964, the band's singles occupied the top five spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That summer, they toured New Zealand and Australia, where their arrival in Adelaide was greeted by a crowd estimated at more than 300,000. The first Beatles movie, A Hard Day's Night was released in 1964.

Beatlemania was responsible for the concept of the stadium concert. More than 55-thousand screaming fans -- at the time, the most ever to have attended a single concert -- packed New York's Shea Stadium in August 1965. Two months later, the Fab Four became Members of the Order of the British Empire, one of the highest honors bestowed in the UK, usually to military and government officials.

In August 1966, the band made what would turn out to be its last public performance -- at Candlestick Park in San Francisco -- lasting barely over a half hour. The decision was made to stop touring and concentrate on writing and recording.

The Woodstock Music and Art Fair, on a 600-acre farm in the township of Bethel, New York, from August 15-18, 1969, represents more than a peaceful gathering of 500,000 people and 32 musical performances. Woodstock has become an idea that has suffused our culture, politically

and socially, as much as musically. Work rapidly got underway to turn the rural acreage into a concert site

with camping areas for 200,000. Three weeks later, during the week of August 11, thousands of people from all over the country began flocking to the festival site.

By the 13th of august people started pouring in all over and they announced on stage “it is a free concert from now ” because there were to many people to even try to get all of them.

They had people such as: Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The who, Santana, Sly and The Family Stone, and many more.

The innovative concert film Woodstock, directed by Michael Wadleigh, was released in March of 1970 and took the festival's message around the world. The movie documented a community of a half million people who managed to peacefully co-exist over three days of consistent rain, food shortages, and a lack of creature comforts

IM RICK JAMES B#&@H!!!!!!

WHOS behind the Super Freak Never an innovator, borrowing heavily from P-Funk and later Prince, but in

his prime Rick James came up with some excellent funky tunes, several of which hit the charts again after being sampled by hip hop artists. James grew up in Buffalo, and after a brief 1960s stint in a Byrds clone, the Mynah Birds, with Neil Young, he resurfaced in the late 70s as a funkateer. During his peak years he also produced big hits for other artists, including Eddie Murphy, Teena Marie, and his creation, the Mary Jane Girls.

He didn't last at the top too long, and since he's not particularly gifted as a singer or instrumentalist, and didn't have an individual production style, that's not too surprising. Personally James was thoroughly reprehensible, making Ike Turner look like a great humanitarian, and it's hard to laugh off the relentless sexist and pedophilic imagery in his music after his prison term for abduction and sexual assault (which he tried to blame on his girlfriend).

After getting out, he denied most of the charges and blamed the rest on his cocaine abuse. But whatever you think of him, the grooves still hold up. I caught his 1997-1998 tour - after prison, but before a stroke that curtailed his comeback efforts - and reviewed it on our no-punches-pulled concert reviews page. He shot back into the public eye after a lengthy piece mocking him appeared on TV's Chapelle's Show, which he took in good humor, before his death in 2004.

JIMI HENDRIX

ABOUT EM… James Marshall Hendrix November 27th, 1942 - September 18, 1970 Widely recognized as one of the most creative and influential musicians of the

20th century, Jimi Hendrix pioneered the explosive possibilities of the electric guitar. Hendrix's innovative style of combining fuzz, feedback and controlled distortion created a new musical form. Because he was unable to read or write music, it is nothing short of remarkable that Jimi Hendrix's meteoric rise in the music took place in just four short years. His musical language continues to influence a host of modern musicians, from George Clinton to Miles Davis, and Steve Vai to Jonny Lang.

Jimi Hendrix, born Johnny Allen Hendrix at 10:15 a.m. on November 27, 1942, at Seattle's King County Hospital, was later renamed James Marshall by his father, James "Al" Hendrix. Young Jimmy (as he was referred to at the time) took an interest in music, drawing influence from virtually every major artist at the time, including B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Holly, and Robert Johnson. Entirely self-taught, Jimmy's inability to read music made him concentrate even harder on the music he heard.

Al took notice of Jimmy's interest in the guitar, recalling, "I used to have Jimmy clean up the bedroom all the time while I was gone, and when I would come home I would find a lot of broom straws around the foot of the bed. I'd say to him, `Well didn't you sweep up the floor?' and he'd say, `Oh yeah,' he did. But I'd find out later that he used to be sitting at the end of the bed there and strumming the broom like he was playing a guitar." Al found an old one-string ukulele, which he gave to Jimmy to play a huge improvement over the broom.

By the summer of 1958, Al had purchased Jimmy a five-dollar, second-hand acoustic guitar from one of his friends. Shortly thereafter, Jimmy joined his first band, The Velvetones. After a three-month stint with the group, Jimmy left to pursue his own interests. The following summer, Al purchased Jimmy his first electric guitar, a Supro Ozark 1560S; Jimi used it when he joined The Rocking Kings.
