CD coQectio Woodstock i STEPHANIE SONNENFELD Asst. Features Editor While most of us were trying to recreate the Woodstock *94 concert in our living rooms with a taped set from MTV, Larry Hamby was recording it. Hamby, who is vice president of artists and repertoire for A&M records, was in charge of recording the entire Woodstock rpvival fnr the double compact disc released by A&M this past winter. Although Hamby was 18 at the time of the first Woodstock but didn't attend because he in was Lake Tahoe, Nev. working for the summer. So when Hamby had the opportunity to record and preserve this summer's Woodstock, he didn't even have to think twice about saying yes to the job. Hamby and the A&M crew arrived at the concert site Friday morning, the first day of the concert and left in the early hours of Monday, the day the concert ended. With him, Hambv brouerht a tour bus to stay in and had four remote recording trucks. Two of the trucks went to one stage at the concert, while the other two went to the other. Hamby stayed at the hub to supervise and run all the recording process. After the recording and the concert is when the work started. One of the hardest things Hamby had to do was decide what track to put on the CD from the performing bands. "I would listen to the material 1 and I made rough tapes of their [the performers] performances, which I gave them right after the i show, and then I spent a couple of 1 weeks of non-stop listening," Ham- 1 by said. The weeks of listening finally ceased and what came from it was a varied sort of mix. Included on the CD is Live's "Selling the Drama;" Blues Traveler's "But Any- , way," Melissa Ethridge's "I'm The { I CES WHATNOT] I vs I New Une Cinema r in the comedy "Friday." ens writer, producer Paulsen expects to be in 27 primaries and is trying to recruit supporters on the Internet. A magical evening LOS ANGELES (AP) ?

Eddie 1 Vedder popped up at a nightclub here to jam without the Pearl. Vedder joined headliner Mike Watt at Caf s Cradle Monday night Derek Powers, who works at the club, said the guitar player and singer for Pearl Jam also plays drums with Hovercraft, which _ opened for Watt. "We didn't know he was going to be here until he walked in the I door," Powers said. "One of the rea sons why they didn't publicize it was they didn't want it to be like a Pearl Jam show." ii captures revival Only One;" Traffic's "Pearly Queen" | and Boy Dylan's "Highway 61." "The process of picking a hit track, hit song whatever you want to say - is that of a creative process in and of itself. It was interesting some of the songs were not hits ' when that package [the Woodstock CD1 was put together. Greenday's "When I Come Around" had not been released as a single yet, and now it's the biggest single from Greenday up to this point. Live's "Selling the Drama" ultimately became a hit, and that wasn't a hit _ at that point [production time]," Hamby added. Hamby had to also realize that ' the CD was going to have to be a profit-making venture. He kept that in mind and managed to approach the whole task as a documentary, The event was going to be whatever it was going to be with or without me. My job was to record it and interpret it and reflect it on the album," Hamby said. Another negative factor Ham- . by encountered was the negative press that the Woodstock concert had been receiving prior to its play dates. Hamby thought it was in teresting how the event was so over analyzed before it even happened. People had said this Woodstock would never be able to match the original "thinking that first one was so precious" and couldn't be repeated. Yet, Hamby had an optimistic point of view on the whole experience. "When it all comes down, I bottom line it and say hey - somebody threw a big rock concert in a field.' That's all it was the first time and I that's all it was the second time. It's everything that is and nothing more than that," Hamby said.It must have been more than that because the Woodstock CD has sold more than a million copies worldvide. Seems preserving history is i tangible business today.

Cockstock isn't a robust broth P! used to flavor soup, it's an outdoor festival concert . featuring five bands with varying styles to please 111 even the most finicky listeners. S According to Cliff Hall, chairman of the Caroli- m na Program Union's Contemporary Sounds Com- w mittee, last year's Cockstock fell short with attendance and the acts who performed. More well-known acts are just one of the changes in store for this year's event. ? "We needed big acts to get the students inter- . ested," Hall said. "People don't want to see a show if they don't know if it's going to be good or not. We Pl wanted to get big names and at least double the attendance. If we had booked them in November, we ' could have had Live. The contract negotiations took a little longer and forced us into an area where the people we wanted weren't available. I think we ended up with a damn good regional showcase." College students can be fickle when it comes to music, so choosing the five bands to play at Cockstock was not an easy task, Hall said.

The planning has been for the students. We chose bands we thought the students would be interested in. Unfortunately, ticket sales are slow now, but I think there will be a large lastminute run.

"If you go see one of these bands play in Five Points, youH pay $5 for one band," Hall said. "This is $8 for five bands, all of whom would headline somewhere in Five Points." , Cockstock is a great way to end the semester with a bang, especially with all the added pressure of exams. "If you like music at all or have the slightest interest in hearing bands play, this is the best atmosphere for it," Hall said. "If you like music at all, thafs where you need to be. Exams are right around the corner, so have a blowout while you can. If the audience isn't enjoying themselves, then it's a waste." Cockstock, featuring performances by Calvin and Friends, Cravin' Melon, Dillon Fence, Donkey and Jupiter Coyote, will take place rain or shine in Bombers' Stadium Saturday from 1-8 p.m. Tickets are $8 for USC students and $12 for the general public. Bus services will be provided for USC students from noon until after the show.
