The Bear - Bob Hite - Canned Heat




Love this video of Canned Heat from Woodstock 1969. A hammered kid jumps up on stage and hugs Bob Hite while he's belting out "A Change is Gonna Come"...A stage guy moves in to throw the kid off the stage and Bob pushes him back...he not only sang the song huggin' the kid but let him take one of his smokes and then lights it for him! Today that kid would have been beat down and arrested... 
Unfortunately Bob's affinity for his fans ended up being his demise...He died of an overdose in '81 after taking a vile of heroin from a fan and snorting it thinking it was cocaine...
Can't get enough Canned Heat...
