Me too, '69 HS grad. from Seattle. Saw some great shows, bands. Wonderful and beautiful time for me in spite of war and social unrest.

Nah I don’t miss a guy who romanticized treating the people who went like animals in Woodstock 94 fans raided the vendors and there was trash and filth on the ground like 99 where they left 300,000 kids to boil in the sun with no water and the water that was free was contaminated by human feces, and if you’re a woman back then well get prepared to be raped or just have your clothes ripped off you forcefully. Sounds like he was a great guy by turning a blind eye to a lot just to make money.

"By the time we got to Woodstock we were half a million strong......"

My moms cousin was sent to Woodstock for the college paper. Said he hated it (absolutely stuck up, stick in the mud ... no shock). Coolest thing we found in his moms house was a jacket she made of pictures he took, turned into custom fabric. His mom (my great aunt) was amazing.

Great music then .I miss it

@@wendiepate5983 So play some tunes!

Yeah, and leave it to a dairy farmer to make me see the light. Influenced my attitude after college and after several contrasting jobs.

much peace n love be with you , always

The trick is to get that mindset to take hold while yet somehow also able to avoid the cringey / corny aspect that seems so often to accompany that way of life..

We have this. It's called Bonnaroo.

Sadly, it's that generation that's "in charge" now, and we don't really seem to be in any better shape as a country.

@@julieyap817 putting the counterculture in charge of a country is same as letting the Amish run a country; their mindset and values work great WITHIN a stable, conservative and free society but arent conducive to running a country.

Positive vibration or not those no ticket free loaders should have been arrested and forced to pay. Now I understand this was impractical , but think about the dichotomy of them cheating their way in , and purposing love and harmony at the expense of legitimate ticket holders, while crowding their spots , using their bathrooms and denning the rightful entrepreneurs of their well deserved ticket proceeds.

Don't take the brown acid.. lol, my dad told me about that story, lol👍

We had a similar problem in the early 90s with The Coat of Arms/Purple Shield. It was too strong and it just F'd your ability to think.

Good Lord, sorry for your loss. Country Joe & the Fish tied important knot , incredible original song, " It's 1 2 3 what are we fighting for ? Don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Vietnam ....." And the tune which goes with the word... " Unlnown Soldier " of Jim Morrison & the Doors ? .

I Was Three Only .

Aww. So many are passing away since this year has begun. RIP Michael Lang.

RIP 😔

No kidding??? Damn!

Wow hadn't heard that

Thanks for the heads up. I was not aware of that. This should have been on the coer of Rolling Stone magazine. I have been getting it for free since the 80`s until I die. That magazine has gone to the dogs.

The 90s were dope too.

Yea, we get it, you grew up then.

@@Bmancan84 nah. That’s an objective statement. Period.

@@jonp3890 well, you clearly don't know what objective means. Opinion is always subjective.

The mid to late 70s were bleak.

Which band did you like the best ?

RIP

sorry to hear that

One person died from an overdose .. so yes .. one person was killed ... an accidental killing ..🙏🕯️🌷may that person🌻Rest In Peace☮️🕊️😔

Couple of accidental deaths. One overdose and one guy was run over by a tractor picking up garbage.

I think two people were killed. A person was asleep on the ground and ran over by a vehicle. I think a baby or two were born. These people had no sense of responsibility. Dance around high on drugs how is that going to make peace. I'm sure most of these people were very bright and intelligent that after they got out of their immature drug-crazed fantasy world they went on to do great things in their lives.

@Janitor Queen Hi There 🙂🌻✌🏻 - so - according to you , all persons that are Conservative Republicans - what you describe as 'right wingers' ( I'm guessing you are a lefty liberal ) just want to kill anyone that doesn't subscriber to their political point of view , EH ?!?. 🤨 .. your lack of enlightenment is obvious... 🤔...apparantly you have been listening to increasingly socialist - spouting n.p.r. .. b.s. radio and agenda - laden m.s.m loons for too long.. not all repubs are thinking that way ... Please I strongly suggest to keep on educating yourself... Not all Conservative Republicans think like that ..every one of them ?!? 😮You are in error making a blanket statement about an entire category of people.. that is what nazis do..😮 and it reveals your closed - minded ignorance - which does not mean stupid - it just means a lack of knowledge .. . I hope you can learn.. You must be a millennial.. I am guessing here and yet I don't classify all millennials as ignorant lefties - I am probably old enough to be your parent .. I have been on this planet longer than you , although there is a high percentage of them that woefully are thinking that way ...sometimes wisdom gets better with ageing , sometimes not..🍀🤨.. all here is just my humble opinion ..we hopefully continue to learn and grow🧠 until we pass on .. even learning continues then too ..💢⚰️🙁... Good Luck🍀 with your life 's education...I have a strong feeling you will need it..🤨☺️😄🤞🏻🖖🏻✌🏻💪🏻🤳🤔🙄🙂

@Janitor Queen kinda like the Leftist 2020 'Summer of Love' with over 30 billion$ damages and many deaths by brutal assault, and Seattle's Chad City, etc.? Guess you have no clue. Anti-Establishment exists now only among 'Conservatives' aka Constitutionalists. That Left v Right garbage is still two wings of the same corrupt bird. Peace!

So amazing

Glad you did, Marvin. My roommate and I found a patio umbrella , put colored Duck Tape on it, and stuck it out our dorm window. Your broadcast a better explanation for need of stayin' alive !

Why glad you weren't there??? That's a very weird way of reminiscing about _the_ definitive cultural event of the 60s hippie movement..

@@88_TROUBLE_88 I grew up in the 60's and was happier not going to Woodstock. I have alot of great memories of the 60's

@@lisad476 Mud must gave been miserable and fun .

@@robertknowles2699 I was thinkin of that yes. It would have been a long journey for me from the west coast anyway

Lisa, very happy you re-commented to my ( mud miserable and fun too ) comment. May I say best anti-war groups assembled themselves from wild and wonderful West Coast? Country Joe , Jefferson Airplane ( Jorma, guitar player song Good Shepard I like and he's INAthens Ohio ) , Crosby, Stills NSh, and YOUNG, who else? Here in Ohio mud where I am reminds me of ' Volunteers' by the Airplane: " Bought meself a farm, way out in the country, Spent time in the hay loft with mice and the ( Bunny ? ) "

I would assert that it was an even bigger blessing for those who could not.

The second day of the first ACL fest was the best. Adult tix were under 20$ and the kids were free. Downhill ever since.

I was personally escorted backstage when I drove up to DAY ON THE GREEN in about 78 or? Friend Randy Hansen played. Nice man Mr Graham to take the time to do that in no particular rush. I think Van Halen was there🙃😁

I had a poster showing a lot of these bands playing a concert at the Oakland Colosseum, in Oakland, California, but the admission was shown as $3.00, not $10.00! Haha! Now that I think about it, It was a "Grateful Dead" poster! And, the concert lasted for 3 days, and 3 nights! Round the clock music!

Rolling Stones were the ones who put it on because they wanted a west coast one. They effed up with the "security", they had no idea that the English chapter of H.A. was vastly different than in the States.

Ok whatever you say. Your lifes biggest highlight. Wow.

@@Bmancan84 why would you write something like this?

How did you manage keeping track of people without cell phones? Seriously curious about this because we are so dependent on our phones nowadays

@@levity90 Why do you need a cell phone at a concert? Usually when going to a concert you go with a group of friends who in turn stay as a group. How do you go to a concert? arrive as a group then split up.? So explain yourself about needing a cell phone at a concert.

@@paulomaeney7324 do you know how easy it is to get separated from your group in a crowd that large? You don't "need" a phone but it's definitely useful and it's absolutely changed the way people behave and coordinate with each other. Back then they must have had to been very specific about meeting spots and times

Someone said "if you claim to remember woodstock, you weren't there".

all great until the serotonin gets permanently depleted from the happiness-inducing drugs...

@@joejones9520 Good thing there were no drugs at Woodstock!

@@CyberData4 no ecstasy then.

@@joejones9520 Yea, just good ole acid.

I cannot describe how fantastic it was!

I can only say it really was the best of times. Styx actually has an album that has that song on it. The Best of Times.

@@terrypbug :. Drugs were there, but the PEOPLE gathering, getting along, and just having fun, was what it was all about. PEACE, LOVE AND ROCK N ROLL!

@@terrypbug no it was just the overwhelming feeling of peace among those at that time

You're living it now. Those hippies are in charge now. Happy?

Post it then plz

Right on James. Every society has their Misfits.

Yes Im always like I was Born2Late, lol✌️

excellent

Yeh, if someone offered me drugs today, I'd have to say, no, it might affect my hyperthyroidism, or my bad kidneys, or my visual impairment, or my arthritis, or my blood pressure. Sorry, I can't do it, lol. Thanks for the memory though.

You really did miss out, but you can be there through other's eyes.

That's what I say, I'm like damn I was Born2Late ✌️

14yrs old in Chicagoland, and had my little transistor radio with me all weekend, because the radio station gave continuous updates and snippits of the performances.

🙄🙄🙄 Oh, Gramma!

my recollection is that as the sun first broke over the mountain is when Pete started Tommy--capt walker etc----i still have my tickets

Especially when after blowing our ears to shreds he picks up a watermelon onto his shoulder

Ten years after were the cream

@@james-le2rs Agree......however I love both bands and have each of all their albums plus live stuff.....Saw Alvin Lee open up for Sabbath during the "Mob Rules" tour. He rocked....

I might be able to get some black afhan

Was that the 3rd one or 2nd because am 45 and was going to one but it seemed earlyer then 99

@@jimmybright7579 I think 94

Military huge, English teacher 's son killed in Vietnam. Draft board scared me while at work doing skool grounds maintenance. Communism had to be fought, but not with gun

Right on Joseph. The people didn't care. They wanted to get high and listen to music. That's what drugs and hippie life does. Make people irresponsible.

Scorsese was one of the film editors.

make new friends

OMG !! Heavens to Betsy even ! Biggest addiction on Earth hadn't happened yet !

at that event, you'd just make new friends. they'd hand you a joint. and Cell phones ?" you can't miss something you ain't never had", to quote Muddy Waters.

Smartphones are making people dumb

I am so glad I was! I will never forget 1969! Best year ever & I am now 71!

I still wish I would have been there. Oh what a festival that was.

@@leslieschanock2797 right on ✌

me too, when I was younger I wished I had been there but that's when I had an idealized view of the sixties. Now, I cant stand useless, immoral people, especially ones that espouse their way to be the way everyone should be.

@@joejones9520 were you looking in a mirror when you wrote that last sentence??

He played the sheet out of it. I've listened to that live performance of Soul Sacrifice so many times I can nearly play it all back in my head.

That is truly awesome buddy way more awesome than being at Woodstock all f****** stoned out and f****** muddy although I'd love to have seen Jimi Hendrix Live that's it
