Canned Heat

Under The Dutch Skies 1970-74

A compilation of Dutch recordings.

This one is in WAV format.

Alan Wilson did not take part:

On September 2nd 1970, Canned Heat was scheduled

to leave for Germany to begin a European tour.

Partly due to the inconveniences preventing him from spending time outdoors

Alan Wilson did not travell with the band.

Wilson despised touring and travelling by plane.

He often missed flights, and the band would fly without him

while he caught a later flight. When he missed his September 2nd flight,

this did not raise any alarms, and Bob Hite assumed he was doing laundry

to prepare for the tour. On September 3rd 1970, Wilson was found dead

in his sleeping bag on the hillside behind Hite's Topanga Canyon home

where he often slept. He was 27 years old.

An autopsy identified his manner and cause of death:

as accidental acute barbiturate intoxication.

Although his death is sometimes reported as a suicide,

this is not clearly established, as he left no note, and there were

four pills left in his pants found next to his body.

Conspiracy theories are still suggested as to the real cause

and events leading up to his death.

Wilson's demise came fourteen months after the death of Brian Jones,

just two weeks before the death of Jimi Hendrix,

four weeks before the death of Janis Joplin

and ten months before the death of Jim Morrison,

four artists who also died at the same age.
