1. most of the kids on that stage cut their teeth on this guy

2. But of course! 60's era rock and roll was all about a British Interpretation of American Blues

The fact the proto bands like the Stones and Beatles 'got it wrong' made for innovation!

3. I tend to think of Bo Diddley as one of the Gods.

Most of those 60's SF scene bands did at least one Diddley tune, Quicksilver covered Mona, The Dead covered a couple of Diddley's tunes.
His stuff sounds deceptively easy. Keith Richards very quietly worked and got Bo Diddley a bunch of his back royalties in the 80's. one of the reasons I love Keith.

4. i had the fortune to see bo diddly and his daughter on his birthday!

he played at a small bar in clinton, iowa..started around 10 and finished around two...never took a break. nothing like standing a couple of feet from my teen age hero. bo was the man!

5. I went to Woodstock, but I didn't see them.

we left after the first day.

I did see the Airplane twice in the early '70s. I got teargassed with a few thousand members of the audience at the Akron Rubber Bowl in 1972. The Airplane were arrested.
