...woodstock...i mean one word....that is in history and if i had anything to say about it...i wish i was there to experience the love..peace..how music inspired everything and everyone...i wouldnt mind seeing the black militaries...and i would be protesting if i lived back then....music is my only way out of life...that makes everything better again.......i mean music changed people's views about the war back then....and it would be bad a$$ if music did the same thing it did in the 60's...
i don't know if the bands got paid. they should have done that for free! in the modeling world, cover girls are compensated very little due to the amount of exposure they get from a cover shot.
a lot of my family went to woodstock 69'. i went to woodstock 99', but i've been told that nothing can compare to 69'. i totally agree, without even being there.
My mom lived in New York at the time and was on her way to woodstock (69), but they closed the thruway because of the insane amount of people, and so she never got there Alex
Woodstock would have been an amazing experience for anyone who had gone. I would have loved to have seen Jefferson Airplane The beautiful Janis Joplin The Who John Sebastian Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young And many more Has anyone seen he movie?
being as young as i am, and hearing about the amazing energy at woodstock, i can only hope that sometime my generation and others to come will be fortunate enough to experience the unity and happiness that yours did. thanks so much for sharing your memory
My Dad was a medical student at the time, he delivered some of them. His pinto was near the stage, and the trunk thereof was one of the few dry places around. So why was his pinto close to the stage? On the first day they established a section of the field as parking, and another as the concert area. Then it started raining and they switched the two areas so that the cars could be on the more solid ground, while it didn't matter if the stages sank into the mud, they were easier to dig out. My dad's Pinto never got out of the mud. To his knowledge, it's still there. You can see part of it on the cover of an album by a band who was there, I forget who it was.
That is so amasing, can you imagine having that frammed in your house. The festival, like this thread seems to be, full of awsome intentions and good feelings. Like it was said, you wouldnt of needed drugs to get high in such a wonderful place. If there is a heaven, it would have to same feeling, a heavenly brotherhood of man, state of mind in each of us... Make on think of Imagine, doesnt it?
