Tribute To The Woodstock Music Festival Of 1969
The 60's were a turbulent decade. The assassination of JFK kept us fixated on the TV for days and gave us an insecurity that other decades had not felt before.
Those of us growing into our own during the 60's were also very much affected by the war in Vietnam. We would all watch the "war lotto" to see which of our friends and loved ones would go across the world to fight in a country that we had not even known had existed.
For me, like other teens my age, the lotto was especially painful as I had a brother that was just 2 years older than I was and I wasn't ready to let him or my other friends leave our safe, secure Long Island town.
The 60's was also showing pains from the growing racial issues that faced us all. Segregation, desegregation, marches on Washington. We all needed to become equals.
Many families were separated by what has been termed the "generation gap". Parents not knowing what their children were doing and children learning not to trust anyone over 30.
There was confusion and mis-trust between the "straight" and the "heads", music was going in directions that most didn't understand.
The world was spinning out of control and we were all angry about something.
Then for 3 days in 1969 the world stood still
Friday August 15th, Saturday August 16th, and Sunday August 17th
This was Woodstock and our world and lives would be forever changed!
The Woodstock Festival Was Forced To Move
A bit of Woodstock trivia
The 1969 Woodstock Music Festival as most are lead to believe, was never held in Woodstock NY.
So Why Did They Call It Woodstock?
Click on the tickets to find out
Woodstock wasn't just about the music...
Although they don't have the glamor of most of the music videos, I believe that they are just as important as this is...the real Woodstock!
Please note that you will leave this page when you view any of the Woodstock videos in this section and also the music videos further down the page, so please remember to return to us after viewing your selected video.
Or better yet - bookmark us. Thank you!

Woodstock Remembered
Woodstock 1969 Original Site
By the time we got to Woodstock....
By the time I did arrive home, I was dirty, smelly and covered from head to toe with mud. We had walked (I was barefoot as I had my moccasins - dare I say stolen), when we left our belongings to wander around) for what had seemed to be hours leaving Woodstock to find a bus back to Grand Central so we could take the Long Island Rail Road back home.
We got some very strange looks on the rail road and no one would even sit anywhere near us, so we found a car just for us. I guess I don't blame them as we did look & smell quite frightening.
....We Were Half A Million Strong
Although I had brought several rolls of film with me to Woodstock, I only took a handful of photos.
At the time, I felt as though it was too "establishment" or "commercial" to capture this moment of time on film.
I also decided not to purchase any t-shirts that were on sale for the same reason.
Well only about 20% of the photos that I did take came out and what I wouldn't do to have an original Woodstock tee now (one that I got while I was there).
I could just kick myself.
Oh, I Get By......

Woodstock Turned Into a 3 Day Party
Just look at the performers who you would have missed, had it only been a 2 day festival.
You also would have missed John Sebastian (who was not scheduled to perform but some of the performers were unable to arrive on time due to the heavy traffic and Route 17 was closed), Bert Sommer and magnificent Melanie who though only sang 2 songs, electrified the stage with Beautiful People.
The NY Thruway Closed Down
With over 500,000 showing up the New York thruway become a parking lot and had to be shut down.

Such Excitement When My Tickets Arrived
The tickets came in a smaller envelope to protect them.
I even kept the money order that I used to buy our tickets. Who would have known that Woodstock was going to be such a major event?
Woodstock - 3 Days of Peace & Music (The Director's Cut) DVD
Woodstock - 3 Days of Peace & Music (The Director's Cut)
Whether you were at Woodstock or not, you can get into the Woodstock mood with this directors cut that is a full 222 minutes.
If you have a VHS player, I would suggest the VHS version as for me it seemed to have a bit higher quality.
After chanting for rain to cool down the crowd, the sky opened up and it rained, and it rained and it rained.
So How Did Woodstock Get Its Name?
At the time when Woodstock was just a glimmer in Michael Lang, Joel Roseman, John Roberts & Artie Kornfeld's eye and they were thinking of a name to call their venture group, they had remembered the quiet but artsy town where Dylan lived in Ulster County NY, called Woodstock.Since they were planning a music & art fair the name seemed to fit right in, plus the reputation of the town of Woodstock as a musician and artist haven would be an added plus for their Aquarian Exposition.
They decided to call their corporation Woodstock Ventures Inc. & that my friends is how Woodstock got it's name.

"So Why Did They Call it Woodstock?" just click again on the tickets to go back to where you were.
Richie Havens at Woodstock
You may be familiar with the song "Freedom" that Richie sang at Woodstock and has pretty much become his signature song. Well Richie had pretty much run out of material so made this song up on the spot.
It continues to be one of the most popular songs attributed to Woodstock. Unfortunately I could not find a legal video clip of Freedom to add to this page.
However, this clip has Richie opening up the festival with the first song played. As you will notice the stage wasn't even completed.
Richie Havens Woodstock Excellent
The triangular shapes near the top of the photo were where the empty food concessions were & a great place to watch the concert
John Sebastian
This video has great shots of the crowd and you will also notice that John is smiling throughout the entire song. Can you not feel the love in this performance - this is the true Woodstock experience.

Do you have any special Woodstock Music Festival memories? If so please share them!
Iwas one of the lucky ones who went to Woodstock (and remember most of it :-) ), and it's an experience that has changed my life for the better. Even almost 40 years later I still can hear the music and get that peaceful feeling every time I smell cow manure (if you were there you'd understand that statement).
If you had any special moments or if Woodstock had a life lasting effect on you too, please share them.
And if you didn't make it to Woodstock do you think that you would have gone? Remember it was advertised mainly as an art fair with a bit of music tossed in.
Peace

Very Wow Lens! I didn`t get to Woodstock myself, but did go to The Atlanta Pop Festival the next summer. This festival, while not being as famous as Woodstock, actually had a larger attendance. Georgia state officials estimated that nearly 500,000 attended this 3 day festival. Good times were had by all, a bit foggy times if you know what I mean, and it did`nt even rain on us! Hendrix really rocked us all & I am now listening to "Spanish Castle Magic" as I type this! Kudos to you & I am lensrolling you & rating you a big 5 stars! Rock on late 60`s style I say! Cheers!

Totally excellent!!! I was there too! Went back for the 25th reunion too. Not the Saugerties fiasco, but to the original site in Bethel. It was awesome too, no way to compare the two, but every body just showed up. No one advertised we were just there. Richie Havens, Melanie, Arlo, Mountain, Joe Walsh, Jimi's bass player and a few others. We built a sound stage and rocked. So many people showed up that after the first day you could get out or back in if you did try to leave. Posted April 29, 2008 |

Excellent site, man! I was 10 years old when Woodstock bloomed, but I was an AWARE 10 year old, due to my 17 yr old brother and 21 yr old sister. So I was a "junior hippie" and very much in tune with the significance of the event. The album and the movie became very important things in the development of my personality. Posted April 18, 2008 |

the greatest music festival of all time. Great moments during woodstock! Posted April 02, 2008 |
Yea, it was a real groovy time. I was on acid for the first two day's and I gotta tell you it was the best trip I ever went on. All the people, freedom and happiness one could ever want. I went to one festival after Woodstock but you know it wasn't the same. Woodstock just had that vibe. The only place I ever got a vobe like that was at hippie hill in Golden Gate Park in San Fran. Even today I get that vibe when I make my yearly pilgrimadge to San Fran.
Love you all,
Joe

I'm glad to see that you are enjoying this lens. Woodstock was more than a 3 day music concert, it was it's own community and taught me much about the true meaning of "love one another" and holds a very special part of my heart. I'd like to think that everyone who had attended still feels the power of sharing and has continued with this in their life. Posted March 14, 2008 |

Did I read that right? Sha Na Na was almost the closing act at the last day of Woodstock? Ohmygawd . . . and I thought the Hell's Angels at Altamont was a disaster. Posted March 13, 2008 |

Incredibly complete coverage of Woodstock. How did you do it? I had just graduated college and was studying in France, but we sure knew what was going on! Fab music and love! Some trivia - In high school, Stevie Stills was in a great local band that played almost weekly at our dances - but the leader kicked Stevie out of the band, allegedly because he "didn't fit in." And guess who was the ONLY one who "made it!" ~Margaret Posted March 13, 2008 |

Nice site. Brings back memories! Posted January 25, 2008 |
I was probably one of the few people that really was at Woodstock,,,,and then left! Drove down with my college roomate in his MG roadster. Light drizzle, traffic backing up, no top. He stayed, I turned the car around and drove back to the frat house. (He was gone for 10 days)

Terrific lens about a defining event in recent American history! I've lensrolled this to my Grace Slick Video Showcase. Posted January 08, 2008 |
I didn't make it to Woodstock; had to work that weekend. I still became a hippie and revere Woodstock Nation as the ideal of our generation. I have amassed a collection of Woodstock artifacts that brings me pleasure, although not as much joy as having been there in '69. Still hoping for peace.

Woodstock '69
Words and Music by Joni Mitchell
copyright 1969 by Siquomb Publishing Co.
Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, Tell where are you going?
This he told me
Said, I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
Well, then can I roam beside you?
I have come to lose the smog,
And I feel myself a cog in somethin' turning.
And maybe it's the time of year,
Yes and maybe it's the time of man.
And I don't know who I am,
But life is for learning.
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
By the time we got to Woodstock,
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a song and a celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes
Riding shotgun in the sky,
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.
We are stardust, we are golden,
We are caught in the devils bargain,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
