Ah, the fiftieth anniversary of the famed Woodstock Festival is here! Which means a lot of boomers who were coming of age in the 50s and 60s are going to be Ronald Reaganizing this weekend —as in reliving memories that they never actually had!
Last weekend I mentioned a pair of local artists, musician Brian Gladstone and poet Linda Goldman, who actually did attend the famed 1969 love-in weekend Aug. 15-18, and who performed as part of a Rootsy Woodstock tribute show by writers and composers on Sunday afternoon.
This weekend will see a lot more shows paying homage to the Swinging Sixties, as I still think of them, when for a while it really did seem like “All You Need Is Love” as manifest in its ultimate apex moment that weekend. (Just a month before the authors of the enduring anthem that begat the slogan proved it wasn’t so as they began the bitter process of breaking up.)
Like me, many others, though they may not have attended the festival, were profoundly influenced by both the newly liberating, cheeky and challenging mores of the time and by the music that resonated their values in daily life and throughout the nascent mass media.
One such fellow boomer is singer Peter Toller, the Peter in eight-piece 50s/60s Rock ‘n’ Roll band Little Peter and the Elegants, which tomorrow afternoon, Sat. Aug. 17. will be staging a unique tribute to Woodstock at an outdoor show on the border between east TO and Scarborough.
The group will be performing the exact set performed by the iconic Sha Na Na band on the wrap-up morning of the festival August 18, 1969. The 11-piece seminal horn Rock/Soul group, which was one of Peter’s faves growing up. only ended up performing on the Monday of the weekend after Jimi Hendrix insisted they do an opening set for him. Their career took off from there, eventually including a weekly TV show and tours that included Toronto appearances where Peter saw them.
“ShaNaNa was a favourite band of mine while in high school. I remember seeing them at Ontario Place, then the CNE Grandstand, also at the O’keefe Centre,” Toller tells me.
The set list for Sat August 17 and background about Sna Na Na and Little Peter and the Elegants from pamphlet the band has prepared to hand out at the show.
“I then regularly watched their TV show in the late 70s, early 80s. Sha Na Na would always move from song to song with very little talk in between songs. I model my band the same way. We like to entertain rather than educate a crowd!”
Certainly the Elegants, after more than 45 years since debuting in late 1973 at Peter’s high school Christmas assembly, has honed that to a fine art. Like Sha Na Na the group focuses on resurrecting vocally rich do-wop songs from the 50s and 60s and always sports a distinctive and unified look, whether that be ties and black shirts or tie-dyed style original band garb.
“My band has 3 singers in front of 5 guys on instruments (4 of whom sing) so we have always been drawn to vocal groups such as The Platters, The Skyliners, The Duprees and Dion and the Belmonts. Not many bands today have 4-5 vocalists on one song!” Toller notes.
He appears to be a stickler for the finer points of putting on a real show and for tomorrow’s event that included ensuring he knew exactly what the original Woodstock set list was that Sha Na Na actually did, since internet searches came up with contradictory results. To nail it down it he actually contacted two original members of the group, he told me, and “Joe Witkin, the Sha Na Na piano player and Henry Gross, the lead guitar player, both at Woodstock, confirmed the accuracy of the set list,” he said.
In addition to Peter the group members include Jim Wood on guitar, Chris Robinson on sax, main singers Andreas Hackner and Brandon Rozen, Richard Uglow on keys and Doug Stone on bass. They’ll be joined by drummer Mat Langford on Saturday, sitting in for regular skins beater James Racz.
With three singers up front backed by strings, horn, keys and percussion (plus four of the five instrument players also having backup vocal chops) produces layered harmonies and solidly upbeat musicianship that has made the Elegants a favourite at Legion halls, oldies dances, fundraisers and festivals across the province. They still also do a few club gigs, such as occasional Sunday appearances at The Duke Live.
Tomorrow’s 1:00-2:15 outdoor set is part of the free 11am-9pm Wheels on Danforth street festival and car show that sees the area around Danforth Ave. and Danforth Rd. in Scarborough closed to traffic to celebrate and display vintage and famous cars along with bikes and other vehicles. There are three music stages plus roaming buskers and of course plenty of vendors and family activities, including a Kids Zone.
If you make it out you’ll hear the group do all 11 songs Sha Na Na performed in their 7:30 a.m. set to open for Hendrix, including such classics as “Teen Angel,” “Silhouettes”, “Wipe-Out” “A Teenager In Love”, “At The Hop” and “Duke of Earl”.
Just like the ‘60s, it’s a free festival! —and nowadays you probably won’t even be hassled by “The Man” if you decide to get high while you’re there!
