[Harp-L] Woodstock/harp

[Bill Hines <billhines4@xxxxxxxxx>]

What edition do you have? I was very interested in this after reading 
your post Patrick. But it appears that Amazon, Target and maybe others 
have their *own* special collectors ultimate blah editions with 
different songs on them. what a mess and pita this is.

and to top it off, they re-recorded and overdubbed some of the 
performances with new stuff!! some say this is "fixing problems" but I 
say it's "BS" because now i'm listening to some music that was played in 
2008, not 1969 and being heard over a visual of musicians supposedly 
playing that music. wth is up with that, unbelievable. and this was done 
by the original audio engineer who was there that day (michael kramer)!

but still, anyone who can fill us in on the harp content of various 
editions would be great. aside from canned heat, any other harp that's 
in the new editions, such as any in CCR's set or others?

Thanks, Bill
