Declined Invitations
  1. The Beatles (John Lennon said he couldn't get them together)

  5. Tommy James & the Shondells (Turned it down because of being misinformed about the size and scope of the event)

I'm only 16, but I hear the stories about woodstock from my parents and grandparents (yeah, they went together) all the time, and to be perfectly honest, I just wish it could all be like that again, all we have today is pointless violence, every day we lose so many people to a war without a pupose, we need to find a way to put it all back, to set things right, love is more powerful than hate I'm sure that in time we will all embrace each other and the truth that violence and war are unnatural, to me, woodstock was not just music, it was our way of saying "we will not conform, we will not give in, we will not fight."

It was one of the great events of my life; mind blowing in every way. The music was beyond compare, the energy was on the level of an exploding universe, the vibe was that of peace and love. It took me about six weeks to come down to earth after that trip.
I consider it the defining moment of the sixties. After Woodstock everything started going down hill and today we've finally reached the bottom of the barrel with an executive branch of government that is by far the worst this beautiful country has ever seen.

Were do I start got close to Woodstock NY but the crowd was so big by then that we had to park our car on the road 60 miles, yes, 60 miles from the site. We then began to walk along the road but from time to time the people that lived on the road would let us get a drink of water or some gave us cookies!! Got to the site and of course it was raining I remember a guy on a motorcycle put me on the back of it and I road through the croud to get to the site much earlier than my friends. I was smoking and doing chocolate mess people were so kool and I was so happy it seems as if I was floating through the sky. I stayed after the festival over a week just walking around tring to find my car go figure. I will never have a trip like that again and now a days when I tell the college students I was there they want to actually touch me I guess hoping the spirit of Woodstock would touch them as well I teach tyd dye clasess and life is good. I did complete college and now have 3 children 12 grands and 2 great-grands. I would not change my life for nothing even though we came up with so much history that we wittnessed daily my time at Woodstock will remain the most eventful and happiest of my life this is from a ole hippie and proud of it. Peaceout

I wasn't there but I remember the week of the concert.
A buddy and I were 15 and took a bus from a small town to Milwaukee to stay a week at his 21 year old sister's apartment. A whole week of no parental guidance where we couild basically do what we wanted in (to us) a big city.
We had heard of a park where the local hippies hung out so we wanted to be part of that scene. The park would on any given day would be filled with people but it was empty except for one guy. We asked where everyone was and he said they all went to a concert. We said great, where's it at? And he said New York. It's called Woodstock.
We had heard there was going to be a Woodstock concert festival but right then and there we realized that if hundreds of hippies from a city a thousand miles away were headed there it was going to be big event. People from all over the country were headed to upstate New York.
I'm sure most of those Milwaukee freaks and those from other cities never got there when they closed the New York freeway to the site. Probably more never made than those who did. It would have been a million people instead of 500,000.

I was 16 the year I hitch hiked to Woodstock with a sister of a guy I knew. I ran away from home and hid out for 2 weeks to make sure I got there! We did not have tickets. I had no money and just the clothes on my back.
We walked when the traffic stopped and by the time we got there the fences were down and it was free.The first thing I recall seeing was a huge teepee with smoke coming out the top.
We were separated early on. I was holding her money!
I slept on the hill in the rain and mud and dried out there too. Dropped a lot of acid. Food was of no concern.
When the rains came I was pulled under the stage. I met a guy who hitched from CA with his pet goat. That was a trip since I am a Capricorn. I ran into my 2 best friends and one was on crutches, no clue what happened to her.
I remember so vividly hearing Sly sing STAND.It woke me up and I stood!
I found an abandoned house and took up residency with some people I met. We were thrown out of that house and moved into an abandoned vw bus. I bought a box of saltines and a tub of butter and lived on that.
I have no memory of how I got home.
I stayed a day or two after the music ended and cleaned up some of the trash.
There was only one baby born that I recall but I was not paying attention.
I wish there was a reunion somewhere for the 40th anniversary. Us old folks would be there!
My 21 year old son just went to Langerado in the Florida everglades. His experience was much like mine.
Very weird. Rain and acid. Who would have thunk it? The music will never compare to Joplin, Hendrix, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, the talent in those 3 days was phenomenal to say the least.
I was chosen for an article in a local paper in 1999. They published my story, a picture of me then in 1969 and in 1999 with my Volvo wagon, small child and Golden Retreiver. They captioned it from Hippie to Yuppie! Woodstock will live on in my mind forever unless I get old timers disease!

Woodstock? Well, who would have thought it would define a generation. I was excited to see The Incredible String Band take the stage. I always admired their hippie idealism. But, they didn't go over well. They sounded pretty good, but they didn't connect with the crowd. Melanie was an unknown at the time. But, her performance was captivating. Her song " Candles In The Rain" the best tribute song to the festival. She is the only one who still sings the ideal of wodstock.

While I was 14 at the time, still tried to get there, heard all the bands of the world were coming. Never made it.
Curious to think at the very moment of the festival, The Beatles were putting finishing touches on Abbey Road. Then the next month, Lennon plays Toronto Peace Festival. No Beatles and no Stones, kind of odd, but Stones had also just lost Brian Jones the month before.
I had two neighbors go from NJ, when they returned, they were different.......we just sat around and listened to all the stories. wow

Woodstock was the greatest concert or series of concerts I have ever witnessed in all of my time. My only hope was to see the Beatles play but old John didn't want to bring them back together. If I could bring all the young people to see what happened and how it affected everyones live I would, but sadly I can't. Everyone reading this, remember rock 'n' roll and remember the great time we all had. God please let us have another great time like we did all those years ago, but I know that won't happen, kids these days are so violent and crazed for no reason, at least we all had a reason at woodstock. Peace with all and Remember to watch over the world so if we have to we will have a 2nd woodstock.

Oh man im so tired i forgot to tell ya about sally.
sally was 15 and she went to woodstock. She told me stories (the same ones but i asked her to i loved them). She said she hitched there and it wasnt scary then. she said she dropped the brown acid and missed the first day of music because she wandered around lol.
She told me of the rain chant and how she slid in the mud, she told me how jimi hendrix woke eveyone up to the star spangeled banner, it gave me chills. She introduced me to "alices restaurant".
She was in herself an icon.

sally died in march 2000 (RIP) of cancer. she was one of my best friends and everytime i watch the footage i try to find her.

It is amazing, how so many people gathered for 3 days, people of all races,and got along so well. oh to have a time machine!

In a simliar situation today, i would recoil in horor at a gathering of todays youth for 3 days with liquer and weed, (and lsd,etc) it would be some kind of massacare. its so sad, because i am only 39 and my gener raised these new kids.what did we do wrong? im not labeling all of them bad, but in general, they have a VIOLENT attitude.
what has become of this world?

A brother of a kid that I knew had two tickets and was looking for someone into music to go with. At 17 and never seeing big name acts I said sure. I had 10 bucks cash and brought 1 sandwich and a soda for the road thinking I'd get food at the concert-well that didn't work out. The amount of people in such a small area was incredible to see. It was hot and humid during the day and rained the 2 nights I was there. After sitting near the back the first day and night I decided to get to the front or bust. I did it. Took the right side where the edge of people were, walked to the front and across right at the picket wood fence at front stage. Just as I got there Santana started to play. I was just under 6' tall and had stand on my tip toes to see them. The sound went through your body, and Santana played their ass off. That was the best live music I've heard. Getting up front makes a huge difference. We left Sunday morning since we had nothing to eat or drink the whole time. I regret it to this day I didn't stay for the whole thing, but I only weighed about 140 pounds to begin with. I had no idea it was going to be such a historic concert. If the wooden fence wasn't their I could have seen myself in the movie. I still remember it like it was yesterday.

After lugging a monsterous wet canvas tent on my back for miles, back to where I had parked the VW, I found the bug listing over a culvert at the roadside due to erosion caused by the heavy rain. I was afraid to even get in for fear it would tumble over. Not being of clear mind, I started back with the load until it dawned on me that I was surrounded by thousands of healthy young backs. I shouted out to no one in particular that I needed help. Immediately I was surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd. We proceeded to lift the car vertically as gales of laughter overtook us. It was carried a short distance on to flat road and I thanked all profusely. I now had to drive all the way through the departing crowd back to the camping area to pick up the rest of my comrades. I had a lantern in the car that vaguely resembled a police siren, so I rested it on the roof and turned it on. I slowly drove against the stream of exhausted but good natured folk, shouting out the window "Emergency vehicle, comin' thru!" I dont know if it was at all convincing but the waves parted and I eventually got all the way back to camping, where everyone wanted to know where the hell I had been.

Woodstock: The Lost Performances Laserdisc
I finally got my hands on this out of print gem.
I prefer this full screen version as it seems like you see a lot more during the 68 min.
What's great is the cutaway footage of the croud (most are not in the
movie) and a lot of nudie shots during Canned Heat Going Up The
Country. Melanie really belts out Birthday of the Sun. Janis Joplin
Work Me Lord is in color and they added different angle camera shots
in B&;W. The only footage that looks like it's the same as Woodstock
Diary is Arlo Guthrie, Tim Hardin, Blood, Sweat and Tears. The Paul
Butterfield Drifting Blues footage is very dark and on Diary it's
looks good. The audio is stereo and sounds great. I can rec this to
dvd but why Warner Bros never released it on dvd is beyond me.

It wasn't until 1970-71 that the impact of Woodstock hit us here in Australia, with the release of the movie. As a 14 year-old I wasn't allowed to see it because of the nudity (it was rated "Adults Only"!!) but over that Xmas I managed to see it at an outdoor cinema with some buddies on a camping holiday. Talk about gobsmacked. We talked about it to an American teenager who was holidaying there - what did he think of Woodstock we asked talking of last night's screening of the movie? "Oh, it was ok to start but then it rained," he said laconically "luckily we had arrived early and camped on the higher ground." If you remember the scene from Wayne's World when they meet Aerosmith it was a seriously "We're not worthy!!" episode. It was a big enough deal meeting a real American but a dude that had been to Woodstock? In 1970 it was as if JC had just walked in.
Musically we realised that the British boom was over and real musicians had hauled back the mantle. Pop music was marginalised and without FM in Australia at that time all music was now referred to by word-of-mouth. In a few more years Australian music would start to stand up and I don't mean Olivia and Air Supply, but AC/DC (would you believe Bon was originally a hippie?), Skyhooks and Cold Chisel and a planoply of bands that burst through. You can't underestimate the impact that the festival and the movie had.

As an aside I think the announcer dude ("keep off the bad acid") lives in Oz now. Another comment, Woodstock MADE many of the bands not the other way round - many were pretty much unknown and Woodstock made them global. And many of the big acts turned in shockers, CCR, Airplane, Who. Even the Hendrix performance was a shambles by his standards but who cares? It was the spirit that was important.

Eventually visited a few times, spent a holiday in the Catskills, but haven't been to the actual site. Love Woodstock but as far as cool places to live go, if I could I would probably hang in SF. Don't like humidity.

Oh the summer of '69...quite unfourtunate that I am only 21 years old and can only dream of the magic that was created at Woodstock...if only the world today was the way it was then...
Woodstock needed two things in order to have made it perfection:
Myself...and The Doors...
Jim Morrison lives forever!!!!!

In my WHOLE life,it was one of the GREATEST experiences, with Janis Joplin, Sly and the Family Stone, Credence Clearwater Revival ("CCR"), The Who, etc.! When I hear certain songs, like, "I Want to Take You Higher" by Sly and the Family Stone, I get a certain "chill" throughout my body, of pleasure. It's a weird feeling. I was probably one of the very, very few there that didn't do ANY drugs, by choice, and I have no problem with anyone doing any drugs (including alcohol), as long as they don't drive or hurt other people. (I've never had a problem with drugs either, at anytime in my life, but love good music of all kinds. I just choose not to do any.) At the time of Woodstock 1969, I lived, where I was born and raised, in Oneonta, New York, north of where the concert was in the Catskill Mountains. I was 20 yrs. old at the time of Woodstock 1969, and 58 yrs. old now. I arrived on Saturday right after the rain stopped, and left on Sunday, just before it started again. I regret that I wasn't there for the WHOLE experience, and I missed SO many GREAT bands/groups. I didn't eat for a couple of days while there, but had a FABULOUS time. There has NEVER been since, even with the "remakes" of Woodstock, and NEVER will be another concert like Woodstock of August in 1969 with about 500,000 people just having a great time! I didn't see a SINGLE fight while there, and only saw 2 police officers, a ways from the concert while I was walking what seemed like 6 miles from where I parked my car to the concert site, and Janis Joplin was on stage when we, my brother and a fraternity brother of mine, were walking in, by the stage. Also, in the movie, "Woodstock", there isn't ANY part of the FABULOUS live light show that was on a HUGE screen right behind all the performers. I could never figure out why, and the technology to do such a light show, with sometimes the person on stage on the screen in various forms, must have been "cutting edge" technology for its time, 1969, and even in some respects for today 08/25/2007. Peace! Ciao, Jeff

I was living with my parents in Syracuse, NY and it was the week before my 16th birthday. I had begged my mother for a ticket as a birthday present but when she heard there would be hippies and drugs there, she said no way. So my girlfriend Karen Hanley and I put on our best hippie threads (as opposed to our convent school uniforms) and decided to PRETEND we were going to Woodstock. I remember we hitch-hiked to the outskirts of Syracuse and then told the guy we had to get out of the car or our mothers would kill us.
I guess we weren't too worried about the possibility that he could have done that himself. I was just complaining to my 22 year-old son that I couldn't go to Woodstock, and he said,"I don't blame your mother, I wouldn't have let you go either - too many whackos." Wow - the times they are a'changin'!

Started in L.A. but only got as far as Las Vegas where I met a very inviting young lady who promised that I'd have a much better time spending my time with her. Sooo, I spent my 3 days of music & peace doing everything I would have at Woodstock, without the mud & 'live music'. My God did she ever keep her promise. In retrospect I still would have liked to have been there but my weekend was memorable.

I heard that the NY state Thruway was closed. We went via New Jersey. At the border of NY & NJ, the police were checking canteens for booze. It was pouring Friday night. I had my convertible top down, kids on skateboards were holding on to my doorhandles. There was a rented truck in front.About 50 people were in it dancing. Cars were pulling off the road & walking. We got within 1/4 mile of the concert area. It was unbelievable, how many people there were. We were in the middle of the crowd. Besides the outrageous music, nonstop, It was hot. Firetrucks were spraying water into the crowd to cool us off. A helicopter was flying overhead at night with a spotlight to see if anyone needed help.The fantastic music continued. Sunday,we were running out of food. We drove to the town of Woodstock to stock-up, but the police wouldn`t let us drive back. We walked 3 miles. I remember Monday morning, walking & listening to Hendrix play the Star Spangled Banner. It was muddy, lots of sleeping bags left behind, waterlogged. My friends & I had tickets. I sure wish I had them now. It was a spectacular weekend, the friendliness of everyone you`d meet, & an unbelievable weekend of the hottest groups of all time in one space. A half a million people living in peace & harmony.I doubt anything like that could be repeatedin my lifetime.

I was 15 - living in Connecticut. We drove there in a huge U-Haul truck. I had a "normal" looking guy convince my parents he'd look out for me - he was one of the biggest Black Beauty (speed) dealers in CT ! I hate being cold & wet, so I stayed in the truck a lot. I remember 2 big events: 1.) We had just eaten some acid, and I'm a nervous-Nell. I asked my buddy if we ate the bad acid, he said no, and I never thought about it again! 2.) I was sleeping on cardboard, when Jimi Hendrix woke me up. I can still close my eyes and I'm there. I also helped Wavy Gravy dish out free food. Only regret = I wish I had "come out" - the men there were hot! I've lived in San Francisco for 30 years, so it all worked out OK.

Yes, I was there, as several of us had just attended the Atlantic City Pop Festival two weeks before, so it seemed like we were all suppose to go. We couldn't get very close on Friday night, though we could hear, but walked in (all the fences were torn down by then) Saturday morning and it was like, wow, look at this--people everywhere, as if we had all moved there to live. Interesting, everybody was loving and sharing as long as the music and pot was flowing, but when it all stopped, the nature of man surfaced. Woodstock can be summed up as being "Christians Without Christ." Four years later I found that truth is not a philosophy or a way of life, but a person--Jesus! What a difference! High without drugs. Free without charge. One of the things I noticed about most of the people of that era is that people were sold out to their convictions. Woodstock got us thinking about what really mattered and how to bring it into reality. We marched, had sit-ins and demonstrations, and got involved with the peace movements. Sadly, we couldn't do it, because of the selfishnss of people. Again, only Jesus brought in my heart and mind what we were trying to achieve from the outside in.

I missed Woodstock by a few months and I regret it right down till today! Was living in Thunder Bay, Ont. at the time and we had many travelling through that had just came from there and crashed at our pad. Many were, including myself heading to the hills of the west coast to the communes ect.I was able to meet alot of guys who were running from the draft and knew canada was a good safehaven. Some told me of the incredible car lineups going to Woodstock and how if they were able to,just left their car and walked and walked. I still remember the closeness to one another, brotherhood I guess you could say during that period in time. Like we all wanted to go somewhere together and find our little piece of utopia, no hassles and just a good place to do things together.Were we all genuine to the ideal of the time, peace and all?! Probably not, but we all were looking for something, something that government ect. was not giving us. I met alot of friends, good people back then. Fun, a look on life and lived that nobody has today. Woodstock will be something that I will never forget. A pivotal time in our generations lives!
Peace to you all!

I didn't go to Woodstock. I was only 11. But some factiods:
Led Zeppelin played at the Palace Theater in Waterbury CT (only about 100 miles away!) on the Saturday night of that weekend. It was simulcast on a college radio station, I listened to it.
This event was in the news, but wasn't that big a deal until the movie came out. The event was more glorified in retrospect than when it happened. That explains some of the performers who didn't play-they thought it wasn't that important.
Many of the performers were unhappy with thier performances, The Who in particular. The Jefferson Airplane ASKED not to be in the movie.
No one knows EXACTLY how many people attended. The "low" estimates are about 250K, to a high of about 400k, meaning that was the total number of people who went there, or tried to. That figure gets rounded up to "half a million" frequntly. People came & went, some didn't make it at all. When Hendrix played, there were only about 30K left, you can see in the movie that the crowd is only filling a fraction of the field. Max Yasgur's statement that "this is the largest gathering of people ever assembled in one place" is totally false. Pope John Paul VI attracted an estimated 1 million when he visited India in 1965.

Summer1969!!!! I went to Woodstock in a bread truck owned by my family business. We had one of the only dry spots down the road from the festival grounds....all night long people were bangin' on the side trying to get in. The mud at Woodstock had a certain quality that I never saw duplicated. The stains on the clothes NEVER came out. A bunch of friends drove up together. One, Susan Tipograph, left her car in front of my friend's house. We lost track of her up there and her car stayed in front of his house almost till Halloween....we were scared to call her mother. One day the car was gone. Later I read about her in the paper....she turned out to be a radical lawyer, working with William Kunstler! We were interviewed by the New York Times a few weeks after we got home....even then our memories were quickly fading.....short term memory loss setting in! Woodstock was the event of a lifetime. Most people who say they went probably really didn't go.....and most people who did go don't remember that much...just little flashes of memories. I am in the movie for a fleeting moment when Arlo is singing. A bottle of water gets passed over me. The next summer I got a job in NY Radio and have been on the air playing rock & roll ever since. PLJ, K-Rock, The Peak.....its been a hellova ride! Jimmy.Fink@verizon.net

at the end of the summer of '69, i was off to san francisco. thought that this festival in up state n.y. was a great way to leave the metropolitan area, and prepare for my journey to the land of my dreams..bought a ticket in the village prior to the event. traveled up state w/ a group of friends from west virgina. we spent the night at a summer home owned by my friends parents. the next morning, her dad gave us a ride to the site. as we got closer, cars were parked on all sides of the road..dad said "you're on your own from here". we got out and started walking.finally got to what was the entrance.the night before the gates were torn down. from here on it was a free festival in every sense of the word.

we were introduced to west coast bands that were fresh and new. i have been listening to music all of my life. folk led into rock and the rest was history. in '66 i attended west virginia university. the first thing i did after getting settled in my room, was to find a music venue. thru this club, i met larry, norris, tom, john
who had a band called "the glass managerie". it was love at first sight. this group was the "rootstock" of the band called "the mind garage" i digress. woodstock continues to be a part of how i try to live my life. max yasgar let us use his farm for an event that changed the world. i believe this with all my spirit. you see, i work out of an art studio in goldengate park in san francisco. the beat goes on...thanks jimi, sly, david, steve, graham, janis, wavy gravy, chip, arty, robbie and the boys..i know bob would of had a great time...the beat goes on..

I am really not qualified to comment on this music but my parents are of the Woodstock generation and I have been IN LOVE with this music ever since I was a little girl.... this music was really ahead of its time and people from my generation don't fully understand that and appreciate what has come before them in a way that I think they should... these musicians WERE musicians and they could actually sing live and "go off". I have such respect for them and the contributions that they made to the history of music... AMAZING!! I only wish that I could have been around at that time to experience such brilliancy and genius.

I wasn't even born during woodstock but by looking at the line up it gets me crazy to know i missed such a remarkable concert. Music today is so horrible nothing like this could ever happen again. It's funny looking at the declined invites because now that the musicians (ones that are still alive) look back on it and how much impact it made in music, they must have regretted that decision for a while

I used LImewire to find music then one day i found this thing called woodstocks cd 1 by unknown. the files was just the sound of people at some event, and it was raining. some guy says " look behind you! Look behind you! The rain! The rain!" the whole thing is sort of interesting. there was a tower in the place and all of the sudden someone yelled- " If you think really hard maybe we can stop the rain!" By the end it has everyone yelling " NO RAIN NO RAIN NO RAIN NO RAIN! Iv'e been searching ever since to find were this file is from.

I was in High School in Virginia when I heard on a faint radio station from somewhere in NY that "a festival to be held in upstate NY next summer" would feature Jimi Hendrix. That's all I needed to hear, I was there! As I recall this was around February or March; nobody I knew had heard anything about it. I bought tickets for Saturday and Sunday. We didn't make Friday for two reasons: it was "folk" night and I had no interest in those bands, and--since neither I nor my friend (the Who fan) drove--my father (who had to work Friday) was taking us on what was supposed to be a camp-out!

In the days leading up to the the festival, THE national news story was that a multitude of hippies was converging on a farm in Bethel, NY. This publicity, of course, merely served to hype the festival thus attracting more people (most of whom I suspected knew nothing of the festival until then).

We left Virginia early Saturday morning. "By the time we got to Woodstock," the NY State Police had closed off exits on Rt.17 about 11 miles from the site. Cars were parked on the shoulders and median for as far as the eye could see in both directions. I walked up to a nearby trooper and, waving my tickets, insisted that he let us through. "We have tickets!" Needless to say, he was unimpressed. What to do? Do we leave my Dad's car on the highway and hump a ton of camping gear eleven miles in the August heat? Fat chance!

So...we left. We drove into NYC for breakfast where the trunk of the car was broken into and robbed while we ate and, afterwards, was involved in a fender-bender when my father went the wrong way down a one-way street!! Twelve years later I was held up--again in NYC--and robbed of three dollars, my watch, and my Woodstock tickets, which I carried in my wallet! Bummer, as we used to say.

Last summer my wife and I drove up to the festival site and saw that it's been converted--unsurprisingly--into an outdoor concert amphitheatre. I think CSN played the inaugural gig there....

PS - Artie Kornfeld, you still owe me $18!!

I arrived at Woodstock on the 3rd day. Originally I was going to purchase tickets (advertised in the Boston Globe) but didn't have the cash...after the event exploded on the news and it became apparent you didn't need a ticket, a friend of mine offered to drive if I would go with him. We drove through the night arriving just after sun up. The State Police had exits closed on Rte. 17 but he passed an off ramp and then reversed direction up an on ramp (good thing there was no traffic) and we drove within a few miles of the site. Hitched a ride in on the trunk lid of a limo and were able to see Jefferson Airplane and, later, Joe Cocker. Vivid memories of Wavy Gravy and the tremendous heat/humidity followed by a thunderstorm that dropped temperatures so quickly we were all shivering. Very odd but I ended up sitting in that crowd of thousands, looked to my right and saw a couple I had picked up hitching in Mass. a month or so earlier...went over and said "hi" and they were floored as well! Small world! I was 17 and my jaw dropped to see so many people that (I felt) I could identify with. It was a great event, wonderful time and (occasionally) I miss my "youth". It was long ago and far away but a memory I cherish.

Didn't get to go to Woodstock but I wish I could have. Santana,Jimi,and Janis were awsome. I could listen to Santana all day. That was a apecial time. We couldn't do it again, it just wouldn't be right. The times, place, people, and moments were just right. Plus, our cars would get stolen now if we left them on the highway.
Peace out man.

I was not at the festival but visited the site before, and with my wife and children (two were there opening night with adult friends of ours) the day following from our home in Monticello, 10 miles away. We took down handwritten notes, written on all kinds of things imaginable, from the large tree (which was used as a bulletin board - no cell phones in those days!) at the intersection of Hurd Road, near the stage. We are now loaning them (13), obviously one of a kind, together with an original Bethel site poster, the original three set LP music album and several mint condition tickets, including the three day one, to the new museum at the site. We advise you of this not only because we assume that it will be of interest to you and others, but also because we are attempting to establish a dollar value of the handwritten notes. Did not know about your web site until I discovered it researching values for insurance for the items we are loaning. Thanks for "listening", and if anyone can help us with an appraised value of the notes, it will be appreciated!

yeah, i totally think we could have another woodstock(ish) concert. The problem with 99 was the bands. I mean Limp Bizkit? Kid Rock? fuck no.

Bands like The Flaming Lips, moe.(hey maybe even a phish reunion?), String Cheese Incident, White Stripes, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Bright Eyes, Bruce Springsteen....hell maybe even Bob Dylan, or Neil Young. Just some good mellow bands and not the heavy metal frat boy rap/rock shit at 99. Or hell how about have a stage where you and your band could get up for about 30 minutes and jam...I think that it'd be amazing.

and in the similar style to woodstock not charge people. It's probaly not capable in todays fucked up consumer run world but it would be nice. Just some 3 days of peace love and happiness. It'll probaly never happen but as John Lennon once said "You may say Im a dreamer but Im not the only one"

peace. love. unity.

QUESTION??? I couldn't go, but watched to movie. Who was it at the end of the movie, a blonde longhaired guitar player, and his band that played the best jam in the movie? He looked like he was having an orgasm doing the song. What band was that, was that song published, what album could I find it on, and was he the writer of the song? I never saw him anywhere else other than on the movie. Thanks for your help. Karen

Everyone is so impressed with woodstock and the whole meaning of the remarkable concert,that now in 2006 the very same thing is happening in this world!I am 33 years old and very upset with our youth! Young men and women are dieing in a war without real reason!The government is taking our rights away and running us like we area communist nation! Wake up america,Where is our abby hoffman? We have to unite now to make peacful change to this nation and this world!I love woodstock! My parents were die hard hippies and to this day they hardly where shoes! But come on everyone let the world hear your voice! lets make love not war!History is repeating itself and none of our youth has the balls to stand up for what is right,and for what needs to be comunicated and changed! To the youth,the draft is coming for you now, and it will happen soon. Stand up and unite!
Peace,love,OUT!

I read one of the earlier comments and noticed that somebody was pissed off because CCR was not on the film. According to an interview with Stu Cook, John Fogerty felt that it would be bad for the band to be on the movie (I forgot what the exact reason was).

Too bad. There isn't too much film footage of CCR live that I've seen and I have a feeling that not too much really exists. It would've been awesome to capture them at Woodstock!

Hey, In a one an a million chance I was cruising this Woodstock site and saw your question of June 21.
I was at Woodstock, and also was a huge fan of Paul Butterfield long before the concert. I had been to see him many times in NYC. Originally I was devastated when Bloomfield disappeared from the band. But all the times I had seen Butterfield he had a young second guitarist who backed up Bloomfield. Obviously as second fiddle to Bloomfield he didnt get to play much, but with Bloomfield gone he took over as lead. I remember the first time I saw him play lead - I was blown away by how good he was and quickly got over the departure of Bloomfield.
His name is Elvin Bishop. He took over lead guitar of the Butterfield band and then went on to form his own band and released many CDs of is own. He was the guy playing lead guitar for Butterfield at Woodstock.
Keep the memory alive,

Please who was the young guitarist that tore it up with "The Paul Butterfield Blues Band"? Of course I know it wasn't Micheal Bloomfield. Some one please tell me... Thanks sonnyblu42@hotmail.com

I thought that I rememberd everything, but when I looked at the list of players," I don't remember a lot who played. It must of been the acid!. Oh ya, the there was nothing wrong with the brown acid.After I came back, my memory hasn't been the same. I don't know why!Any ways there were 33 of us from Brockton, Ma. and we all made history.

To Chas in London, the song you seek is Long Time Gone by Crobsy Stills and Nash, their music punctuates the whole film. (it's on the firts CSN album).

To all the other beautiful people - For a very alternative take on Joni's 'Woodstock' featruing Soundgarden (I know but trust me - it works!) check out http://www.mash-ups.co.uk and click on the audio link at the top then scroll down to "Like Woodstock" and click the album cover - enjoy :o)

More than a comment, this is a request for help!

Would anyone out there know, who wrote this poem/song?

""We talked of hippies and flowers and rainbows and dope,
Of politics and art and the structure of hope.

Strange nights and days of colours in the air,
Waiting hopelessly for roses by the stair.

As the world showed its affection for those who were faking it,
We got kicked out of school for spreading love and kicked out of home for making it.

This isnt the start of a new era, there isnt even a new plan,
I just hope this one's a little better than the last one.""

Hi Everyone.

I'm a radio presenter and journalist here in England, and would like to construct a radio project on Woodstock 69 over the next three years ahead of the 40th anniversary.

If you were at the concert - and maybe in the film too - I hope you would also like to be part of my project. I plan to visit the States in late 2006.

Obviously I need to plan where I need to go!

If you would like to take part, please e-mail me at the following address: woodstock40@btinternet.com

I'm off to watch the film again now and see them construct the stage, wishing it was all happening this weekend!

Thanks!

On to Woodstock,
Sha Na Na is a pathetic choice, that was crap.I just wonder why the
Stones weren't invited. I can understand The Beatles because of
their problems with John and Yoko, but the only think that set back
the Stones was the death of Brian Jones. To think of it, many
English bands weren't invited at all except The Who and Jeff Beck
might have shown up, but that was it. Think of all the variety that
would've went on if English bands were called up. You could've had
even another day.Some bands they missed out on

The Rolling Stones
The Dirty Mac
Donovan
Pink Floyd (Piper at the gates of dawn action)
The Moody Blues and
Procol Harum
The Yardbirds

Some bands that were from North America that weren't there were

The Doors
MC5
The Byrds
Bob Dylan
Traffic
Spirit
Steppenwolf and
Simon & Garfunkel

This guy says he has 80% of the Woodstock sets. I'm not clear on
whether he has actual recordings from the Woodstock festival or if he
just pieced together studio and live versions of the songs played at
Woodstock, but you might try emailing him to see what he has or
atleast what his sources are. I would be interested to know what you
find out. Good luck!

I wasn't at Woodstock, but I've been watching the movie and listening
to the music since I was a kid. Peter Griffin from Family Guy has a
small penis. Santana's set has soooo much energy! I'm guessing
about 3 inches. Too bad the Dead had so many problems with their
set. Peter Griffin from Family Guy secretly jerks off to gay porn.
I love you Peter Griffin from Family Guy. Someday you'll realize
you're a hippie too.

hated it. But Sha-Na-Na was great. A friend of my friend's cousin
said that Elvis would be performing 46 songs at Woodstock! BUT ELVIS
WASN'T EVEN THERE! I camped out for 4 days with all those rancid-

I was at Woodstock '69. It was the best time for me,i has a baby
girl!!!! I made myself go into labor, just so i could have my baby at
the most wonderful place in the world. That was the moment in my life
that i could be me and everyone loved everyone. I went into labor
when Sha-Na-Na was on stage and by the time Jimi came on stage i was
almost there, then my little girl was born. I named her Isabella Jo.
I have often wished that i could have had those three days back that
i was there. I would do it a thousands times over again.

wonderfull festival. I saw the dvd and i was so suprised about all
the love and the relaxing vibe at the festival. everyboy was kind
and nice to each other, skinny dipping togheter in some dirty water.
everything was fine. everything was good. such a festival as that,
is what today's world needs. fuck the war, listen to music, lay back

Re: NEW WEBSITE LAUNCH: WOODSTOCK PRESERVATION ARCHIVES
Website Address: http://woodstockpreservation.org

Well friends Its been almost a year since a core group of
preservation activists, under the banner of the Woodstock
Preservation Alliance, wrapped up their challenge to the development
plans of the Bethel Woods - Center for the Arts, to place permanent
structures on and around the original historic site of the 1969
Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, in the small Catskills town of Bethel,
New York. The challenge to the project managers - the Gerry
Foundation, took many forms - from petitions to formal advocacy at
State and Federal levels. The persistent lobbying for a public voice
in the planning of this world-class performing arts center realized a
90 percent reduction in the proposed Core Complex on the plateau
above the famed festival bowl amphitheatre. With such a reduction,
and given that compromises are more often the rule than the exception
in contemporary historic preservation battles, we preservationists
were satisfied that within the Bethel Woods complex the original 38-
acre Woodstock Festival site has largely been left as it was in 1969
for future generations to appreciate. Opposed to the original vision
for Bethel Woods, the revised plans for the festival site ensured
that the former Yasgurs Farm - known worldwide from the 1970
Academy Award winning documentary WOODSTOCK - would remain in its
original state as much as possible, for generations to come.

As testimony to the efforts made to preserve this piece of global
history, a new website has been constructed that chronicles several
years of a tireless labor of love. This premier website may be one of
the best sources of Woodstock information for the interested public
and students alike. The website is not only about Woodstock 1969,
its about Woodstock: then and now. The facts, fiction, legend,
mythology, and general power of what is Woodstock will continue
through our youth and our generations to come and a unique page is
being developed as a place for our students to share their works;
their projects and essays, with others, to enjoy and learn from. In
addition, our website
but also serves as a template for other grassroots historic
preservation movements. A multitude of information, photos, video,
audio and more, abound on this website. Unlike other
Woodstock tribute websites, the Woodstock Preservation Archives
serves to ensure that the struggle to preserve the festival site is
not lost as Bethel Woods rises in the Catskills, and also to inspire
others to speak up for what they believe in, regardless of the
barriers that face them. Although truthful in our struggle to impact
the development plans by the Gerry Foundation, it is respectful of
the Bethel Woods desire to bring back music and the arts to this
land, and allows visitors to make up their own minds as to whether
Bethel Woods serves as an End or New Beginning for the original
Woodstock Festival site.

This website is fun, interesting and informative, and in the spirit
of the original Woodstock advertisement catchphrase, the Woodstock
Preservation Archives provides Hundreds of Acres to Roam On.

We invisit you to stop by, and pay us a visit. We welcome any
comments or questions.

I was wondering if a complete DVD or VHS exists with all the music
on it. I very much doubt it but Warner have to release something
like it sometime. I've got 2 DVD's of Woodstock one called
the "Woodstock Diaries" which is actually a three-part, television
mini-series about the festival just slapped on a disc as well as
another one titled "Woodstock, 3 Days of Peace & Music" it's
probably the best thing that i've seen about the festival so far.
But even decent photos, CD's etc. don't exist. The closest thing to
Woodstock that has happened in the fairly recent past was Eric
Clapton's "Crossroads Guitar Festival" held in June 2004 at the
Cotton Bowl in Texas. It hasn't got the same atmosphere but it's the
next best thing music wise. By the way i was born in 1989 & i'm a
big fan of Hendrix, the african-american blues artists like Buddy
Guy, Bukka White (dec.), B.B King etc. & smooth, watery, singing
wah. It has the power to make you melt. There will never be another
Woodstock it's just sad that most of us will never experience, first-
hand, the power that the music of that era holds. I'm 15 & i get
tingles when Country Joe McDonald has 300,000+ ppl singing along 2
one song or at the title screen of the DVD "Woodstock Diaries" comes
up & they have they 'Star Spangled Banner' blaring out as the have a
fly-around shot of the crowd & surrounding area. It just takes your
breath away...
