While I was there I checked out Creedence's 1969 concert. There's an
8:46 long instrumental blues jam and about 3:30 into in John Fogerty
busts into an amplified harp solo. First time I heard him play anything
other than the short hooks in songs like Run Through The Jungle.
Wolfgang's Vault rocks!

Subject: [Harp-L] Harmonica w/ Mothers of Invention
There's a fragment of a wonderful very early Mothers concert at the
Fillmore available on the Wolfgang's Vault website. (This is a site
that
owns a bunch of recordings done at concerts produced by Bill Graham.)
This show was recorded, partially, in June of '66, when they opened for
Lenny Bruce.
In the fourth song, Handsome Cabin Boy Jam, someone, probably lead
singer
Ray Collins, whips out a diatonic harp and plays along with a beautiful
Frank Zappa melody. It's kind of rough and not especially long (two
bits),
but it's actually pretty good. I don't recall any other harp in any of
the
Zappa recordings. If you're a Zappa fan this whole recording will be a
turn-on.
