                           Everything's Gonna Be Alright 

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band played in the morning hours of Monday, the 18th. The starting time was supposed to be 6.00 am. 

 By the time of Woodstock the Paul Butterfield Blues Band had abandoned its roots of Chicago Blues. The horn section adds a big band touch to the music which reminds of Blood, Sweat & Tears at times. Only two songs, the slow number "Driftin'" and the catchy "Everything's Gonna Be Alright", show the virtuosity of Paul Butterfield's harmonica playing.

      Go Now (Larry Banks/Milton Bennet)

"Go Now!" was made popular internationally later in 1964 when the Moody Blues, recorded it, with Denny Laine on guitar and lead vocals. When Laine first heard Bessie Banks's version, he immediately told the rest of the band that they needed to record the song. 

The song was first recorded by Larry Banks's former wife, Bessie Banks. A 1962 demo recording by Bessie of the song was heard by songwriters and record producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who re-recorded it in late 1963, with arrangement by Gary Sherman and backing vocals from Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston. The single was first released in early 1964 on their Tiger label, and later reissued on the Blue Cat label, the R&B/soul imprint of Red Bird. Her version reached No. 40 on the Cashbox R&B singles chart.(wikipedia)
