Sha Na Na: Woodstock - 20 Years After (DVD)

(Liberation Hall) 23 tracks

23 songs by 1950s revival group Sha Na Na, recorded at the Woodstock Twenty Years After concert in August 1989. Sha Na Na, the popular 1950s revival group that has sold more than 20 million records and appeared on its own television series, was one of the performers at the original 1969 Woodstock music festival.

Twenty years later, on August 20, 1989, the band performed with their original fellow musicians at the Woodstock: 20 Years After concert, held 3,000 miles away at Cal-State Dominguez Hills in Carson, California. Sha Na Na's appearance at Woodstock was only the band's eighth performance. The band was formed during the 1968/69 school year at Columbia University. The idea came from George Leonard, a humanities student who also became the group's choreographer. The original lineup included a dozen members who performed a song and dance repertoire based on popular rock and doo-wop hits of the 1950s.

"Within two months, we were the hottest rock band in New York, performing weekly at Steve Paul's Scene, where even the stars partied. One night Janis Joplin ran backstage to kiss us, smelling like Southern Comfort," Leonard recalls. According to the band's drummer, John Fair "Jocko" Marcellino, it was on the last night Steve Paul's Scene was open that Jimi Hendrix personally introduced Sha Na Na to Woodstock producers Michael Lang and Artie Kornfeld. "We were booked that night," Marcellino told Yahoo Entertainment's Lyndsey Parker. "We got $350, the check bounced, and we got a dollar to be in the movie. But it was a good dollar." Her high-energy performance and closing rendition of "At the Hop" were a highlight of the concert and were featured in the documentary.

The film helped make Sha Na Na a U.S. sensation and sparked a 1950s nostalgia that inspired the Broadway musical Grease, American Graffiti and the 1970s television series Happy Days. When the 1978 film version of Grease hit theaters, the accompanying soundtrack featured six songs by Sha Na Na, and the group appeared in the film with two songs as Johnny Casino and the Gamblers. From 1977 to 1981, the group recorded 97 episodes of the Sha Na Na musical variety shows, becoming a staple of American pop culture. Their appearance in the movie "Woodstock" helped spark a craze for all things 1950s, inspiring shows and movies like "Grease" and "American Graffiti," as well as television series like "Happy Days"

SHA NA NA

Sha Na Na haben ihren geradlinigen Rock & Roll-Revivalismus der 50er Jahre in eine erfolgreiche Tourneekarriere verwandelt, auch wenn sie nie so populär waren wie live. Das Image und der Stil der Gruppe waren unverschämt anachronistisch, da sie die Pop- und Doo-Wop-Standards der 50er Jahre abdeckten, ihre Haare in der Greaser-Mode zurückschlugen und in extravagante Kostüme der 50er Jahre gekleidet waren.

Sha Na Na gründete sich 1968 an der Columbia University und machte sich schnell einen Namen mit Live-Auftritten, oft im Fillmore East, bei denen es sich um einen Tanzwettbewerb für das Publikum handelte. Die ursprüngliche Besetzung bestand aus den Sängern Rob Leonard, Scott Powell, Johnny Contardo, Frederick "Denny" Greene, Richard "Ritchie" Joffe und Don York, sowie den Gitarristen Chris Donald, Elliot Cahn und Henry Gross, dem Bassisten Bruce Clarke, dem Schlagzeuger John "Jocko" Marcellino, den Pianisten "Screamin'" Scott Simon und John "Bowzer" Bauman und dem ehemaligen Danny und dem Saxophonisten Leonard Baker. Sha Na Na's großer Durchbruch kam mit einer Buchung beim Woodstock Festival 1969; sie fingen mit dem Publikum an und begannen eine Reihe von Auftritten in Rock & Roll Lokalen und Nachtclubs.

Gross ging 1970 zu einer Solokarriere und erzielte sechs Jahre später mit "Shannon" einen Top-Ten-Hit, was seine alte Gruppe nie konnte; Sha Na Na Na war weitgehend ein Live-Act, der auf Nostalgie und Unterhaltungswert spielte, was sich nicht so gut auf Platte übersetzte. Trotz interner Probleme wie Nervenzusammenbrüche und dem Tod des Mitglieds Vincent Taylor durch eine Überdosis Heroin im Jahr 1974 erreichte die Gruppe ihren Höhepunkt in den späten 70er Jahren, als sie von 1977 bis 1981 ihre eigene syndizierte Fernsehshow moderierte und im Film Grease von 1978 auftrat.

Screamin' Scott Simon schrieb den Song "Sandy" für den Film mit, während Jon "Bowzer" Bauman seine Fernsehkarriere fortsetzte, indem er eine Morgensendung in Los Angeles moderierte und häufig in mehreren Spielshows zu Gast war. Die Gruppe tourt weiter mit mehreren Originalmitgliedern an Bord. (allmusic.com)
