Caught a video of Bo Diddley which I believe was part of his set at the '69 Toronto Peace Festival.





Absolutely mindblowing.

A question: Is anyone (Rockman?) aware of other Diddley live material from this period? Or earlier?

And does the stuff he did with Woody match up?

Well, I am not Rockman, but I think you should look for this:

"Bo Diddley's Beach Party" Checker-LP-2988 fom 1963

with a stunning version of "Road Runner"

This might even get Rockman's approval, we'll have to wait and see!

a little more subdued.....but lovely with Tom Petty........

There is a very cool CD release from the Grateful Dead on "Dicks Picks 30" from March of 1972 where Bo sat in with Jerry and the boys for Hey Bo Diddley, I'm a Man, I've Seen Them All, Jam & Mona. Even if you're not a fan of the Dead, it's still very cool stuff.

this album is very highly reviewed at allmusic.com, which calls it the best live album of its era--strange, since the site says the same thing about Jerry Lee Lewis at the Star Club, 1964! (which is a more recent release and probably a newer review)

They are right in both cases, both albums are dynamite!

PS: There was a thread on the Star Club Lp here months ago, you may try the search function for this!
