There are a few performers here not seen on the two previous WHO concerts I've posted. Also, some songs from Sebastian's solo career were included, such as "Stories We Could Tell," "How Have You Been," and his Number One hit "Welcome Back." So a large portion of their songs were played here, including some rather obscure songs. The band had a fairly small recorded output, with just five albums, from 1965 to 1969. There's only a few bits of banter, mostly comments by Sebastian. The one downside is that this is generally only the songs, with very little of the banter between songs. And the sound quality is excellent all the way through.

There are no concert recordings of the original band with Sebastian that I know of, other than a song here or there on TV shows, so we're very lucky a bootleg recording of this concert has survived. They had a big role in the concert, with Sebastian singing lots of songs. But that's been it, with this exception of this concert.Įven better, the original band didn't just play a song or two.

He did play with the others for one concert in 1979, for the Paul Simon movie "One Trick Pony," then again in 2000 for the band's induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, crucially, John Sebastian didn't take part, and he was the heart of the band. The Lovin' Spoonful did reform in the 1990s, and has played concerts ever since then. Both Yanovsky and Yester died in the years prior to the concert. This concert was as good of a reunion of the original band as one could hope for, with Sebastian, Butler and Boone participating. There were four members of the band in the 1960s: John Sebastian, who was the lead singer and main songwriter, and Joe Butler, Steve Boone, and Zal Yanovsky (who was replaced by Jerry Yester before the end of the 1960s). If you compare the artist names for this concert with the other two WHO concerts I've posted, you'll see the vast majority played in all of them.īut this concert was a bit unusual, due to the presence of members of the Lovin' Spoonful, the band that was the focus on the tribute this year. Many of them tend to play these WHO concerts every year.
Generally, these musicians are members of bands that are successful enough for a career, but typically not really big name acts.

But, in short, it's a group of mostly Los Angeles based professional musicians who put on a concert once a year to benefit a charity. You can read more about this group in the write-ups to those. I've had a request to post more from the Wild Honey Orchestra (WHO), as well as a specific request to post the Lovin' Spoonful tribute show.
