HAPPY 40th ANNIVERSARY WOODSTOCK!!!
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b7/Woodstock_poster.jpg/250px-Woodstock_poster.jpg)
The Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, which was held 40 years ago in Bethel, New York, was the embodiment of the peace and hippie movement and provided a triumphant exclamation point for the 1960s. Yes, there were crippling traffic jams and plenty of drugs, nudity, rain and mud. But there was also the music – three days of iconic performances from an unprecedented array of artists, including the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, the Band, Santana, Arlo Guthrie, the Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Winter, Sly and the Family Stone, Joan Baez, Richie Havens and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

Joni Mitchell-Woodstock (Big Sur Celebration) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6IDoxi9QsE#lq-hq)
Joni Mitchell
Live performance at Big Sur, September 14, 1969

I read an article in the newspaper over here last weekend and they stated that most of the myth of Woodstock is a legacy of the film that was made (and Martin Scorcese was involved). They way it was cut was an important thing. In the film, it looked as if Jimi Hendrix was the highlight of the festival. He was supposed to be, but because of numerous delays he did not perform until Monday in front of 'just' 10,000 people. Most of the audience had left by then. The film also showed about half of the groups that performed. A lot of people don't know that CCR was on Woodstock as well, but they didn't give permission to use the footage in the film.
-
When you look at Woodstock realistically, you've gotta wonder if it really was all that great to be there. The sound was terrible (designed to reach 200.000 people at best), by many accounts most of the bands really didn't perform that well, there was some pretty bad weather, there was hardly anything to eat or drink, there hardly were decent toilets, in the end they were about half a day behind scedule, there was such a huge traffic jam that there were probably more people that didn't make the festival than people that did... If you'd have such a festival now, you'd probably have a HUGE riot and police shutting everything down.
But than again, the fact that that didn't happen is probably what made Woodstock so cool.
-
This should be a cool movie... Can't wait to see it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taking_Woodstock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taking_Woodstock)
-
What's tragic by the way is that Max Yasgur (who owned the farm where the festival was held) was pretty much destroyed by the festival. His farm was ruined and he became an outcast in his town because everyone hated him for bringing the festival to Bethel. He died in 1973, just 53 years old.
But above that, the important thing that you've proven to the world is that a half a million kids — and I call you kids because I have children that are older than you are — a half million young people can get together and have three days of fun and music and have nothing but fun and music, and I God Bless You for it!
-

I guess Woodstock is the Sgt Pepper of rock festivals - not half as good as everyone remembers but more important for what it symbolised.
-
I've seen the film , can't say i was that impressed with the performances apart from Joe Cocker .
Suppose it's a nice time piece though .
Not a big Stones fan but there free concert in Hyde Park i think it was , is a better closer to the 60's ?
-
I think Woodstock became so legendary for three reasons:
1. Incredibly line-up.
2. Half a million people showed up.
And probably the most important reason:
3. Half a million people piled up under pretty miserable conditions but hardly any incidents. That probably gave people the impression that a world of love and peace was possible.
-
....there was such a huge traffic jam that there were probably more people that didn't make the festival than people that did...
I can confirm that, Joost. I made it as far as Monticello on Saturday that weekend. Route 17B out to Bethel was closed. There were cars parked on the road that far away (about 10 miles)! There were a ton of people in Monticello and I met a girl named Barbara there. We decided to walk out to the festival site. We stopped in Mongaup Valley about 4 miles from Bethel. We kind of liked each other and decided to go riding instead. I knew a stables nearby as well as the trails in that area. So we had a good time horseback riding in the country that day. We had no idea at the time that the Woodstock Festival would become iconic. It was just a typical hot, rainy summer weekend in the Catskill Mountains. There was a concert in Bethel that we didn't have tickets for.
And Barbara and I found something else to do that day.
-
Nice memories. Thanks for sharing that Barry. What happened to Barbara?
-
Bobber, Barbara attended the same college I did, New York University, but she was downtown at Washington Square while I attended the University Heights campus in The Bronx. We dated for a few months during the fall semester. The realization set in several weeks later that we missed a big event. But we took solace in the fact that we were in the Bethel area and, in a way, still part of the celebration. Barbara and I enjoyed wooded trails in the country while others enjoyed music.
-
Cor, you had me thinking about that weekend all day! My cousin Norman and his girlfriend went to Bethel earlier in the week. I was supposed to meet them there. He parked his car along the road up on the rise you see in the upper right of the picture I posted. He figured it would be well out of the way. When they got back to the car on Monday, the hood, roof and rear deck were caved in. People were sitting or standing on the car all weekend. It was a brand new Mercury Cougar.
-
LOL! See, that happens when you arrive early. Again, thanks for sharing the memories.

Beautiful words! I was thinking about Joni Mitchell's words to Woodstock today. We are indeed "stardust" comprised of carbon-containing molecules formed several billion years ago (Joni was off by a few billion years). I was also thinking of the Bible's "ashes to ashes, dust to dust." I'm pretty sure Joni was referring to the allegorical Garden of Eden, creation of life and universal brotherhood of man.
Cor, I'm happy that this "carbon unit" is around 40 years later to share my memories on this Forum.
Barry
-
Did you ever see Barbara again?
-
The lovely "child of God" Barbara. Yes, Cor. We went out a few times during the fall semester. As I mentioned, we went to the same university but different campuses.
The college year 1969-70 was tumultuous here in the US. It started out peaceful enough but ended with Kent State and all colleges being shut down. That year radicalized me. I was pretty active politically all that year and I got involved with a different crowd seeking political change. The Peace Movement wasn't getting anywhere and some of us went the next step. The summer of 1970 was the exact opposite of 1969. We just went our separate ways.
But I think of her when any discussion turns to Woodstock.

I was shocked to hear this live version on the Woodstock box set. One of my all time favorite songs, performed by its writer in front of half a million people, and he completely butchered it. It's just painful, one of the very worst live performances I've ever heard by anyone.

The Beatles weren't there but their music was. As was mentioned in the past, Richie Havens (RIP) did Strawberry Fields and Joe Crocker of course did With a Little Help from My Friends or "Me Friends" as he introduced it. LOL This is my favorite though. I love Stephen Stills' reaction at the end. After performing their first number, Suite: Judy Blue Eyes and his admission that they were "scared sh*tless" he looked so relieved.

I can dig that! I love the girl at 3:45. She's trying to look like "Yeah, I do this all the time" then she finally starts hacking! I first heard this song during a summer school class I took on rock music. I am embarrassed to say that I only got a C in that class. As an education major I can say that the final was loaded with ambiguous questions. I did get an A on my paper though.

I actually have a concrete chip from one of the original stage supports, which my friend and I found nearly entirely covered in shrubbery when we visited the site back in 1989. :)

That's neat Kathy. I like the opening sequence too, especially at 1:16 and 1:21. Those two girls are from my hometown in Pennsylvania.

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"
And this he told me...
I'm going on down to Yasgur's Farm,
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band.
I'm gonna camp out on the land.
I'm gonna try and get my soul free.
Yasgur on Woodstock. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8eiL25BjkY#)

I told my parents "I'm going to hitchhike to NY" and guess what they said? " No your not"! Your only 13!" I missed it, too young.
-
Those are awesome shots, Barry, esp. the panoramic ones. Wow!
-
Kathy, the color picture taken at the intersection of West Shore Road and Happy Avenue is one of my favorites. It's about a half mile from the festival site. A couple of years later, I boarded my horse on a property on West Shore Rd near that intersection that boardered Yasgur's Farm so I'm very familiar with that neighborhood. My parents have a summer house about fifteen miles away.
An interesting story behind that Happy Av street sign...after the festival, that sign went missing. Every time the Township of Bethel replaced it, it disappeared within a few days. This went on for a few years and the township finally stopped replacing it. In recent years the sign has stayed put.

There was a similar conversation at our house between my brother and our parents. In fact a bunch of his friends heard the same thing about being fifteen or sixteen. Some guy that worked at the local radio station was handing out tickets. Good thing Mom and Dad stopped him; he got into enough trouble just in our sleepy little town!

Nice to see that ad in Ramparts once again. Wallkill residents didn't want the festival and the zoning board banned the event. Max Yasgur made his dairy farm available. It was the perfect spot. The pasture formed a natural amphitheater.

She could have made the gig and the Cavett Show too just like the others. Not the best advice by her manager. But as a result she wrote what turned out to be an anthem...

Kelley, that clip is from the 1970 Woodstock movie.
Oh, okay. Thanks. I've really only seen the movie a few times a but I've watched a lot of clips. It's hard for me to remember what they used in the movie!
-
The Woodstock movie strayed from the timeline of the event, Kelley. Sha Na Na appeared early in the movie just after some of the opening acts. Many artists weren't included in the film like CCR, Tim Hardin, The Band, Melanie, and Blood, Sweat & Tears. There's a 2009 40th Anniversary Edition DVD and Blu-ray which includes some of the originally omitted artists.

Another year gone by! They put the extended version on French TV so I watched it. Then they put it on again so I taped it and I'm now watching it again!
It's partly the music but mainly the event and also the way they put the film together.
Roll on 2016...and, I hope, all the way to 2019.

I made a deal with (Woodstock producer) Mike Lang before the festival started. If anything went wrong I was going to give him a crew cut. If everything was OK I was going to let my hair grow long. I guess he won the bet, but I'm so bald I'll never be able to pay it off.

This is intriguing me a lot:
Three-Day Woodstock Festival From Original Organizer Coming This Summer (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/woodstock-50th-anniversary-michael-lang-775588/)
“Woodstock ’99 was just a musical experience with no social significance,” Michael Lang says of Woodstock 50. “With this one, we’re going back to our roots and our original intent”
I already have my lodging lined up since my daughter lives about 40 minutes away from the festival site. There's still lots of variables but it's something to keep on eye on.
-
^^^^^^
The Syracuse papers are reporting that two anniversary concerts will be held. I know one will be at the Bethel Arts Center; I wonder where the other one will be? I don't have a subscription to the paper so was unable to read the full article. Sounds like a recipe for chaos, though!

Good for you for thinking ahead with the lodging, Kelley! I know it's a ways off, but I hope you have fun. Please share details!
-
Kathy, the festival will be at Watkins Glen. I’m not even sure we’ll be able to do it but if we do I can stay at Kelsie’s place in Ithaca. I’m just waiting for more details on who is playing and what it will cost. And then there’s the question of being brave enough to go. lol
-
I'll go if Arlo Guthrie goes. With Arlo there, it'll be far out, man! A walk down the road trip, ya know? Route 17 might be closed. Isn't that far out? There might be a million and a half people there. Can you dig that? Yeah, a lotta freaks!
-
Arlo is number one on my wishlist for this event. But C,S,N & Y are right up there, too.

Thanks, Kelley. It's time to relive the experience even though I only came within four miles of Bethel that weekend.
Horseback riding with Barbara in Mongaup Valley was an idyllic experience.

There's a box set for Woodstock, too.
Woodstock Back to The Garden (https://www.rhino.com/woodstock50)
According to one review on Amazon, the Definitive Archive costs $800!

That's the "mega-set," 38 discs with just about every note played plus some assorted stuff. It's for the diehard collector.
The 10-disc set seems rational at $110.30 and comes with a booklet.
By the way, there was a 40th anniversary box set...

Right. And apparently there’s been 1969 die hard collectors willing to part with their money because it’s sold out!

Let me see your papers.
Well, I'll be up in The Catskills this weekend, Kelley. I won't be going to Bethel Woods, though. I don't know what this "Travel Pass" is but it looks like I'll be eating at The Goshen Diner rather than at one of the restaurants in the Bethel area.
My papers aren't in order. ;D

While I'm up in the country this weekend, I'll reflect on a much simpler time.

Not even a ticket. But the menu at the Goshen Diner looks really good. ;)
