The Mamas & the Papas were an American folk rock vocal group that recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968, with a brief reunion in 1971. The group was a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the 1960s. Formed in New York City, the group consisted of Americans John Phillips, Cass Elliot, and Michelle Phillips, and Canadian Denny Doherty. Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips – the songwriter and leader of the group – who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early 1960s.

Mama,s Broke - De Spot ,Middelburg (12 Juni 2025)

                                    Lisa Maria Bates: vocals, fiddle, foot board, mandolin 

                                       Amy Lou Keeler: vocals, guitar, banjo, fiddlesticks  

                                   

De dames verzorgden het voorprogramma van Willi Carliisle maar hadden wat mij betreft ook de hoofdact mogen zijn.(niks mis met Willi trouwens) . Lisa Maria Bates en Amy Lou Keeler maken krachtige nummers met bezwerende harmonieën en een mix van viool, banjo, mandoline en gitaar.

Je hoort unieke ritmes wanneer Amy haar eetstokjes op Lisa's viool zet en Lisa haar hakken op de vloer plaatst. Elementen van Appalachen, Keltische ballades, Nova Scotiaanse tradities en Oekraïense folk uit de collectie van Lisa's grootvader zijn verweven in de muziek van het duo.

53 tickets were sold for the concert, while the hall could have held 200. "Billed as Dylan's 'First New York Concert' it was, more accurately, Dylan's first concert anywhere. Prior to this show he'd only played club dates and a few guest spots on multi-artist bills. Dylan arrived in New York on January, 21, 1961 and began playing hoots at clubs like Gerdes Folk City almost immediately

Bob Dylan performed 22 songs at the Chapter Hall concert on 4 November 1961. The first seven songs were already into circulation among collectors when five additional songs appeared in December 2004; a further two (Talking Merchant Marine and Talking New York) turned up in May 2008.
     He Was A Friend Of Mine surfaced in November 2021, sixty years after the concert, when the tape of the performance was purchased by the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa.

Moby Grape - Monterey(1967)Amsterdam(1969)

  Moby Grape is an American rock band founded in 1966. Part of San Francisco's psychedelic music scene, the band merged elements of rock and roll, folk music, pop, blues, and country. They were one of the few groups of which all members were lead vocalists and songwriters. The group's first incarnation ended in 1969, in part due to members Bob Mosley and Skip Spence suffering from mental illness                                         

  In this film clip from 1967’s historic Monterey International Pop Festival, Moby Grape give a storming rendition of “Hey Grandma” – the opening track from their psychedelic masterpiece debut album.

In late 2007, Classic Rock sat down with Jerry Miller, Bob Mosley, Peter Lewis and Don Stevenson to talk about their life with one of the great American bands of the 1960s, Moby Grape. An influence on Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, the Grape were set for success after releasing their classic debut album, but bad decisions, mishaps and chaos were to blight their career from that moment on.
