This is a forgotten film clip of Blood Sweat & Tears performing their opening song "More and More" at the 1969 Woodstock Festival. Unfortunately, they never received compensation for their
performance, because the festival was losing money. BS&T and several other performers demanded that the filming of their acts be stopped if they weren't going to get paid. Consequently, they were never included in the final film production. ---- The history of BS&T started in 1967 with Al Kooper as the group's initial leader of the original eight, and he named the band after Johnny Cash's album called Blood Sweat & Tears. Later, Kooper was forced out of the group, and David Clayton-Thomas was brought in as the lead vocal. The band took on a new identity of fusing of rock, blues, pop music using their combination of brass and rock band instrumentation. Three singles, from their Blood, Sweat, & Tears album all reached #2 on Billboard Magazine 's Hot 100 chart, and the band had an amazing 10 nominations and won 3 Grammy's. The original song, "More and More", was composed and originally written by R&B blues singer and guitarist James Milton Campbell, Jr. (Little Milton) in 1968.
