Woodstock Music Festival Of 1969 Tribute
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
By the time we got to Woodstock....
Getting to Woodstock wasn't that hard but getting home was another story.By the time we did arrive home, we were 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.
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.

....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.
The head count (kind of a pun) for Woodstock ranges from 500,000 to 650,000 depending on who was doing the counting and whether or not they counted those who were stuck in traffic and were turned away. One estimate was even a high (yes, another pun) as 1 million!
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.
Route 17 Closed Down
With over 500,000 showing up the New York thruway become a parking lot and Route 17 had to be shut down.

Max Yasgur Live Onstage at Woodstock
"What a great thing to look out over your own farm and see THAT. Max Yasgur was 50 when Woodstock was in its planning stages but had the same vision and energy as the young dudes less than half his age who created it.
He died at 53 only 3 years after Woodstock. Without Max Yasgur the world's singularly most ambitious and definitive statement of peace and love the world has ever seen, Woodstock, may never have had a place to happen."

Crowd Rain Chant Woodstock 1969 Video
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.

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 at Woodstock
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.

Woodstock Museum Opened June 2nd 2008
Museum Opens at Woodstock Concert Site
PlusMuseum Opens at Woodstock Concert SiteMuseum Opens at Woodstock Concert SiteThe Associated PressThe Woodstock experience is a museum piece now. The Museum at Bethel Woods, which opened on Monday, is part of a $100 million music and arts center. (June 2)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] This was the scene at Bethel Woods nearly 4 decades ago.But this is what it looks like today. The Gerry Foundation has turned this old dairy farm...where sex drugs and rock and roll reigned one weekend in the 60's...into a museum.((Mike Egan/Museum at Bethel Woods Sr. Director SOT: The woodstock festival has come to represent the culminating point of the decade in the 60s so we really felt it important to tell the story of the 60s...))Doors opened to the public on Monday.((Flower child Irene: I'm glad to have something from our generation w/a positive outlook for our time.))The story of that generation is told through these exhibits which feature clothes...cars...and icons from the 1960s.((Egan SOT: We also talk about the themes, what was going on...the civil rights movement...and the movement towards personal freedom...and the caring for the environment...))But the museum's main attraction...of course...is footage from the music festival. The indoor exhibits are just up the hill from the original Woodstock stage area. ((Devlin NATS: This is the stage, this is where the bridge went across the road.)) Duke Devlin is the museum's tour guide, and he uses his *memories* of Woodstock to help paint the picture for those who weren't there.((Devlin SOT: I was here having lots of fun. Enjoying the music, rain and mud...all the fun things that came with Woodstock. It was the safest place to be. ))With all this inspiration available to a new generation...could a Woodstock revival be in the works?Devlin says he wouldn't rule it out...but it's doubtful there will ever be another event as legendary as the original.

Amazon Price: $16.49 (as of 07/10/2009)
List Price: $24.99
As being one of the contributors to this book, Peace, Music and Memories, by Brad Littleproud and Joanne Hague, I have to tell that you I am so excited to finally see this all come into place. If you get chance check out my Woodstock photo contribution on pages 40, 66, 144 & a recent photo on page 182.
It was and still is, so exciting to work with Brad Littleproud. As you can tell by my lens here that Woodstock make an everlasting impression on me and to be able to work with others who also shared the same experiences that I did is totally mind blowing. Then you have Brad and although did not attend Woodstock was mesmerized by what he had read and heard about, set off with Joanne Hague to create the Woodstock Preservation Society which helped to historically preserve the original Woodstock site. Brad is still faithfully working and keeping the memories alive.
Here is Amazon's product description:
"Woodstock: Peace, Music & Memories" tells the story of this society-changing event, in the words and photos of the people who were there.
The book, with its natural and recycled look and mix of 350 color, sepia and black and white photos, plus interviews with performers Carlos Santana, Canned Heat and Mountain, invites readers to journey back to three days of peace and music.
Everyone from baby boomers and musicians who were there, and those who wish they were, to collectors and historians, will find that the historical photos, stories and existing memorabilia in this book serve as a unique tribute to three history-making days in '69

Woodstock 40th Anniversary Tribute - Woodstock: Peace, Music & Memories
Woodstock photos and memories
This book is very emotional for me as I was able to contribute photos and memories of Woodstock.
Brad & Joanne have done an excellent job of creating a book that takes you inside Woodstock and lets you see it through the eyes of those who were there.
Peace, Memories & Music by Brad Littleproud & Joanne Hague
Woodstock 1969 Photo Book
This interesting photo and story book recollects Woodstock 1969 as seen through the eyes of Woodstock concert goer Jim Shelley.
Journals such as these give you a little bit different insight into that magical weekend than you will find with the books that were put together by professional photographers who may not have even wanted to be there.
I was highly impressed with the photos and the writings of a true Woodstock lover.

A Must Have Book About Woodstock 1969 For You and Your Children
Max Said Yes! The Woodstock Story
I can't tell you how excited I am to share this soon to be released book (first edition will be May 15th 2009 but you can pre-order today)
Woodstock 69 made a lasting impression on those who attended and also changed the world in many ways seen and unseen. Woodstock brought a generation together and although was not meant to make a political statement it shouted out peace in every direction.
Who better than Max Yasgur's cousin, Abigail Yasgur and Joesph Lipner to collaborate on a tribute to Max and Woostock.
Max Said Yes! The Woodstock story was written to keep the memories alive. It meant to be read aloud to your children (ages 3-8) so that they can get insight into this historic moment in history.
With wonderfully colorful illustrations by Barbara Mendez brings the book alive and is visually stimulating.
Although rave reviews of the 32 page book would be impressive coming from critics but this book also is receiving glowing reviews from those who helped to make Woodstock possible.
Here is a just a small sampling:
"After so much time, a little rhyme, an allegory that tells the story, to future generations. Terrific." Michael Lang, Producer of Woodstock 1969
"This book lets the light of Woodstock shine on to a new generation. Every home should have a copy of Max Said Yes! The Woodstock Story." Richie Havens, folk singer, guitarist, performed at Woodstock 1969
"A good way to introduce little children to the most positive cultural event of the century - the 1969 Woodstock Festival." Elliott Landy, Official Woodstock Festival Photographer
I have already pre-ordered several copies and I can not wait until I can share them with a new generation.
Peace
PS If you have time please read Abigail Yasgur's comment in the section below on Dec 07, 2008.
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.

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

Nancy,
I have to agree that I didn't have enough of Micheal. Sure he does have a short spot in the trailer for the Woodstock: Director's cut trailer so I have added another video. This is one is where Richard Crouse interviews Michael in reference to the movie but he opens up more.
Michael is a great humanitarian and I had added a few links on this page so that people can get to know him a bit better.
Thank you!

Wow, this lens is awesome! I don't know how I've missed it for so long. I know a lot of the bands from Woodstock (about 1/3 of them I don't though). Day 2 looks like it would've been my favorite day, but Hendrix and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young is hard to beat. I stayed away from the other Woodstock incarnations in the 90's.. this one seemed better. Excellent work!

My Favorite Woodstock 1969 T-Shirt
Woodstock 'Roll Call Peace Dove' blue lightweight t-shirt
Amazon Price: (as of 07/10/2009)
This is my personal favorite Woodstock 1969 tribute T-Shirt
High quality silkscreen has been distressed to look like you've owned it since '69.
This Woodstock T-shirt is more expensive than others shown on this lens, but I like the additional details and the color scheme. It's also cooler in the summer heat.
Available in Men's sizes Small - XX-Large
The location and date is printed on the bottom, 'White Lake NY (the nearby town where the festival was actually held) August 15-17 1969'. Across the top 'Woodstock' is printed in classic sixties lettering, with a border that extends down the sides to frame the image.

The 60's Hippie Look Is Back Again
Tie Dye is all the rage again
Tie-Dyed T-shirts isn't the only thing that can separate you from the crowd. This year there are Tie-dyed MacBook covers, tie dye cell phone covers, tie dye hoodies, shorts and tons more.
You can even pick up CD's, books and Tie Dye kits to create your own look.
Celebrate the Summer of Love with the look of the 60's.
With all the talk about a 40th Woodstock reunion we've got a question for you
Do you think that there should be a 40th Woodstock reunion festival?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byYes, if anything it would be a great concert
Slothlover says:
Yes! I don't think they could create the same energy as the original, but I think it still could be fun. I think it is a great idea, considering the new generation of people who didn't get to go to the '69 one. That would be fun if they did that! :)

If you could bring back some of the old performers from the original concert then and only then will it have some meaning.

No, they will never be able to recreate the magic of the original Woodstock

I wish I could say Yes, but I'm afraid "they will never be able to recreate the magic of the original Woodstock" :)

no sorry. It would never be the same. Can you imagine: "Woodstock, brought to you by Honda Motors" or whatever other crappy company wanted to capitalize on this.

if you had a reunion it would suck some balls cuz no one could reproduce the magic that happened those three days!! so it would suck if you think about todays day and age about the cops and all it would get ruined!

Pyronaut says:
Hell they can have another music festival. But why do they have to use the original woodstock name? Just name it something different. Using the original name just sounds like a marketing ploy

Woodstock '69 was not just another concert. So the motivation and desire of a reunion can never be a 'great concert'. Sadly we now live in a world void of the Woodstock-era spontaneity. Most things are now so stark-contrived. It is sad but true, there can never be another Woodstock. If someday I find that magic and that truth in the air, believe me I will give my all to the effort of a reunion :-)
(by the way, I was unborn in 1969)

I would like to see a totally different event inspired by the original Woodstock than another anniversary concert. I have a friend in Woodstock NY who was involved in the 25th Anniversary in '94 and had gone to the original. Told me it didn't seem quite the same although a number of the original Woodstock alumni were there (plus Dylan). Then again, it's a time of major change and if the energy is right and is focussed, anything can occur.

Have you ever noticed that in many Woodstock photos you see many orange tents?
Well for those of us who pre-ordered our tickets by mail we also had the option of purchasing an inflatable tent for $5 and many like me took advantage of the offer.
