What's really cool, and what takes this back even farther, is the song they're playing, Sittin on Top of the World. It's originally written and performed by members of the Mississippi Sheiks, a 1930s country blues band. Robert Johnson took the tune and applied different lyrics for his song Come On in my Kitchen. Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys did a westernized version, Bill Monroe did a bluegrass version. Soon it became a standard in everyone's repertoire. This version is a hybrid of the Sheiks and the Bill Monroe with some Robert Johnson Come On in my Kitchen lyrics thrown in (Bromberg sings Come on in my kitchen cause it's going to be raining outdoors in the last verse). Back then you had to be a musicologist seeking out the records of all this stuff. Bromberg had to have done that to know these different lyrics. People were doing this all over.
@@martianshoes Heard a recording of him live at the Down Home a couple tours later. There was a section where he was playing old fiddle tunes and the sound from him dancing on the plywood was slowly being altered with some kind of effect pedal. Mesmerizing.
Hartford played a small amusement park in North Georgia called Lake Winnepasauka we got talk to him between shows… my friend engaged him about changing labels…this was long before he was with Flying Fish. He seemed tired but nice. Lake Winnie had a tiny stage with forest acoustics; would have been a draggy gig for anyone that had previously hosted a network television show…

Don't forget that Cream did a killer bluesy rock version.
I love you people,. I was thinking that it might be a bluegrass cover of Les Paul's Sitting on Top of the World. Lol I love music.
One of my friends back in the 90s did a killer cover of come in my kitchen....
I'm not a musicologist...just a mediocre audiophile.
I love seeing videos of David when he was this young. He just seems to be having so much fun.
Anything David does or with is real music
Hartford would release "Aereo-Plain" almost exactly one year later 9/1/71.
I saw Hartford 5 years later on the Mark Twang tour.
He was brilliant as always.

My LANDS!
These guys would show up on their own, or something arrive together. Those were special weeks of 1970-1977.
Wow!!
Who's playing the mouthharp lol. Looks like he's playing with his moustache!!
I wanted to ask the same question - great solo!
I found him - it was Eric Fransden - from the village
I thought it would be a cover of Les Pauls song lol silly me....

I have the mp4 of the full broadcast. It was available on UA-cam for about a week before they took it down.

Not a mouthharp (harmonica) but a Jews harp(or Jaw harp) as David says
