Talk:Richie Havens

message: Hi there. Are you guys sure that he uses an open D tuning? I've been watching the videos of him live for about an hour, and none of them work with a "d", especially not the famous "Handsome Johnny" performance.
He has personally stated on his webpage that his tuning is in fact open D. Check it for yourself at www.richiehavens.com
I could be mistaken, but I believe the reason he performed for so long at Woodstock had less to do with the fact he was receiving the ovations and more to do with the fact that the traffic problems caused problems getting many of the performers in place and ready to perform. His set was easier to set up because it was just him, his guitar and the guy on the bongos. Jmcachran (talk) 01:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: As an editor at Crawdaddy!, and to comply with COI guidelines, I am not posting the link to this interview with Richie Havens. However, I would like to recommend it on its merits, and hope that an editor will find the time to examine the review and—if he or she sees fit—post it to the External Links section on this page. I appreciate your time. Crawdaddy! Mike harkin (talk) 00:39, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  External Link suggestion 

message: The link from RH's Alarm Clock (1971), goes to the Wiki page for 'Alarm clock' (the clock). This link needs to be fixed, or, if there is no pic or track listing for Alarm Clock (1971), it should just be made into text, not point to a link.SaturnCat (talk) 01:13, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

text: The date is not wrong and has been confirmed. It has nothing to do with the coincidence of Earth Day falling on the same date. RIP, Richie. Doc talk 02:10, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Cleanup / Re-grading

message: It simply did not happen. I wish it did. It would have been amazing if this story proved to be true. But Havens improved a few bits at the end of his set, which lasted about an hour. There is audio tape of the entire festival, as well as film, and audience recordings. Perhaps, to Havens, with the pressure of opening in front of such a large crowd and perhaps with some enhancements, felt... like it was three hours, but the evidence does not back it up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tonymasiello (talk • contribs) 21:30, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Three hour long set at Woodstock 

message: The article states: "Havens recalled being called back for several encores". Well my local radio station is currently playing the complete Woodstock 38 disc box set, and I certainly didn't hear the crowd cheering for more, nor a deafening roar as he returned, because it simply did not go down that way. How could you get called out for several encores, when the entire performance was only 55 minutes. At least as far as I noticed, none of the Friday night performers got called out for any encores. The guy was just a blowhard about the experience. Kaytrox (talk) 03:06, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
