Any source to show that Wilson committed suicide? I changed it to just death until it can be corroborrated. (drivinghighway61 03:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC))
- "but sadly, Wilson committed suicide on 3 September 1970, between the album's completion and release." - p. 353, Blues on CD, Charles Shaar Murray, 1993, ISBN 1-85626-084-4 It's all there in the book. --Blainster 04:33, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Regardless of what Mr. Murray's book says, there is still no real evidence to prove Wilson's death a suicide. Though he had been depressed he left no note, and autopsy reports were inconclusive as to purposefulness, or lack thereof, in the drug overdose involved in his death. Alan Wilson's autopsy can be obtained, for a minor fee, from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.224.36.1 (talk • contribs) 12:57, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
- You may be correct, but you need to provide a published source per Wikipedia guidelines. --Blainster 23:00, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Al Wilson's death was ruled accidental by the coroner's office. Results were published in the autopsy report and death certificate which are in the public record.

[edit] Canned Heat Potted History LINK
Looks like linkspamto me, but benefit of the doubt. . . . Mikereichold 18:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Live At The Fox Theatre
According to the Canned Heat website discography, the album Live at the Fox Theatre, Venice, with John Lee Hooker, was recorded in 1987, not 1978 as previously listed in the article. Corrected a paragraph formatting problem at the same time. --Blainster 23:32, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lineup
Can we get a lineup table please? --kingboyk 23:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
You're free to start it thank you. KungFuMonkey 23:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
The band's official home page has a detailed discography with line-up lists at http://www.cannedheatmusic.com/press/HEAT-DISCOGRAPHY.xls. 80.222.51.49 22:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
The list of Members on the page is the only spot where those listed are found. They are not mentioned anywhere else in the article. Who are these guys? Paploo 06:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
== krleaf == There ia a particular person listed as a former member. He never was.All former members can be verified by writing to the official website. I keep removing his name. however some dumbass keeps putting him back. Its not right to claim somebody elses success. I wrote to the offical Bands website and recieved Verification that this person was not involved in any way with the band.

[edit] Rewriting
Attempted to rewrite in a more encyclopedic style. Details about band members should be found in the corresponding articles. Please help with details and language.al (talk) 18:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Undid at the end of Sect.1: " Among many blues fans, the Canned Heat lineups from 1989 to the present, while not nearly as celebrated, are actually far better than any of the classic lineups." because it is POV and because it was out of place . I agree that 'never the same' is rather tautological but it spares a long explanation about the originality of Wilson's approach.
- Removed below another POV about later recordings.
Also removed "Canned Heat continued touring and recording without him" as Vestine had joined them apparently just for the tour. He had already come and gone a few times.
- The story is long an complicated so, please, don't add evaluative comments; correcting facts and providing details would be more constructive.
