Blabfest by forgetful Richie Havens
By GREG HAYMES, Special to the Times Union

Correction: The review has been updated. An earlier version made a reference to the singer-songwriter's past that was intended in jest and not to suggest that Havens has a history of drug use. The Times Union regrets any misinterpretation of the remark.
SCHENECTADY -- OK, now imagine this.

You show up for a gig one day, and suddenly the promoter wants you to go on hours before you're originally scheduled to play. So you go up onstage and play your show. Then the promoter tells you to keep playing. So you do…until you run out of songs that you know. But the promoter insists that you play more, so you go back out on stage and make up a song. You start hollering, "Freedom, freedom, freedom…"
Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that you're doing all of this in front of a quarter million people?
And as it turns out, that's the song that you're remembered for. That song becomes your trademark. Your signature.
Well, that's probably not how most musicians would want to lay the foundation for their entire musical career, but it seems to have worked out just fine for Richie Havens.
