Great shots. I don`t know what the muted soundtrack was like but I think the silence adds a lot to the atmosphere. I met someone who was at the front when Hendrix played, must have been awesome.
sad that something so historic and important inspiring etc. will never happen again the closest thing we have to this where i live (canada) is evolve music festival in the maritimes and i live in southern cabada so i dont think ill ever get there
Other kind of show/festival for 3 days can happened of course but no one can be like Woodstock and don't even hesitate to give the same name Woodstock because is going to be busted. Woodstock 1969 was an amazing festival everybody smoking weed/using acid, yes! Cont
Police was there but didn't care, you know why? couse was a festival with peace no fighting everybody like family helping each other. If you do it in 2010 police wont let be like 1969. People now dont have mentally brain like does from 1969 that only want peace and hear good music. Woodstock II in 1994 was totally busted, a lot of people arrested fights
Teeohennwhy no fueron 3 horas sino 3 dias seguidos de mucho rock and roll en aquel agosto 1969. Esa epoca ja no se va vivir mas, hoy en dia impera la sociedad consumista y el que no esta encuadrado dentro de ella es un pobre qualquiera. Prfefiero ser Hippie y libre que que con dinero y presionada por esta sociedad machista!
@ducksandcows6, if it should happen again we need the rain too- and much of it, why? if you dont have the rain as one of the elements you cant feel the great touch.
they tried to not long ago, but this generation is so corrupted! seriously! during the concert there were so many people, the people in the audience started burning everything and a riot started! like 11 people were raped and others were even killed
I wonder what happened to the 2 babies that were born at Woodstock? They're probably working for Chase Manhattan Bank and are turning us down for loans.
Really? I wonder who was onstage at Woodstock when she was born and what her views on the Woodstock festival are now. Are her parents still alive and what did they tell her about it? So many questions, so few donuts!
haha i have no idea man she was kind of a crack head when i was in middle school probly did alot of acid or somthing... that must have been so cool tho
the world is to corrupt too have a woodstock it would be chaos now days it would turn in to 1 big fight unles htere was a army there to make sure nothin happen it makes me sad to no my generation could never have something so awsome like woodstock 69 :( i guess im just bored in the wrong time peroid but 1 day the world will change again
As much as it would be WONDERFUL to re-create a 'Woodstock,' my opinion is it could never happen; just like you can never re-create the feeling of a first kiss, the sight of your first child being born, etc. SO many music festivals have come and gone...violently, since then. There are just TOO many factors that make this NOT possible. You couldn't just get that many people together nowadays for one cause without an even larger 'opposition' crowd there as well. RIP, Woodstock!
what the hell is your problem?? no niggers like Jimi Hendrix?? fuck off and get a life you fucking racist pig. why would you even watch this for your obviously not switched on enough to even comprehend what this festival was about. just stick to your conservative country and western music redneck
May you be throat-fucked by an AIDS infected nigger... and there's plenty of those around. Niggers are seven times more likely to have AIDS than whites.
There was no forgotten member of Santana! Stop hating. Carlos and his band made history at Woodstock by being the only multi-racial band in a white racist America in 1969.
Just having a feeling of what the woodstock spirit might have been like is good enough for me. Nobody gives much credit to some of the locals who helped the kids out. These were rural people prepared to give the kids a chance. People's ideas of youth were changed for the better just by seeing how much the young loved their country and each other. Dylan's words rang out so true: you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone, coz the times they are a-changing.
Money? What money they were hippies dude most just pan-handled around complaining about the world thinking somehow dropping out was helping something. Tune in, turn on, drop out, hmm nice philosophy guys. Oh, and remember don't trust anyone over 30.
16 august 1969 (40 years back) i was100s and thousands miles away but my thoughts of the happenings is still clear in my mind. PEACE AND MUSIC IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW. Love will follow. Let Not The Time and The Distance be a Hinderence In This Borderless World Of Ours 16 August 2009 (40 years latter)still in the same distance Shan
ha thats a laugh no matter the day or age the outcasts are alway around and i've never met a time i wasn't hated by someone tbh this world is being fucked up from the inside out teachers need to fix up and get the sick fickle fuckers dead away from where they can repreduce
I think someday I will drive up to the site, bring my guitar, sit in the grass where the stage was or on the hill and play a song. I am not sure why. This is sacred ground for many reasons.
It would be interesting to bring a metal detector into the field and see how much money you can find. Maybe even a driver's license. Probably over 1000 sets of car keys.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Woofstock was f ing stupid. Everyone was on drugs. I feel sorry for those lame geezer that walk around today thinking they're cool because they were there. That generation fucked everything up. Assholes.
Who wouldnt want to go to the first Woodstock ever. I know I sure would I mean seeing a rock god like Jimi Hendrix rockin his version of the Nathional Anthem. That would be sick!
im glad for squeaky fromme getting out of jail and will be a contributing member of society!!! she can get a great job im sure with all her experience!!! man that will be on lucky office
Squeaky was actually dangerous. Who did Charley kill? Wo did Manson physically kill that was proved in court? Of course my sympathys for all the victims, but if you kill someone then it seems so cheap to say"Charley or whoever told me to do it" He is mental no doubt. But they never proved he killed anybody.
well was it still acids groovy kill the pigs? hey, if this helter skelter shit dont happen soon it will be like manson was wrong and he has wasted his entire life? it has been 40 years for christ sake!!!
Great shots! It looks like it's still a beautiful place! I hope to make it there someday before someone tries to build a Wal-Mart there! Let's hope not!
Peace to all my brothers and sisters of the Woodstock Nation.
I wasn't actually born until June 1970, but I think I might have been there in my past life! ;)
These are really nice shots, I plan on going there and wondered what it would be like. Even if people don't get it , it was an enormously important cultural event, one that helps to define an amazing epoch. People are entitled to their opinions though . Thanks a lot !
i don't think their will be another concert like that ever again in my lifetime. 3 days of peace. i wonder how many babies were born 9 months after the concert?
Yeah you are correct, we should really start encouraging them to do drugs and think they are apart of something that really isnt anything. But I guess they are too stupid right...
I never said to encourage them to do drugs. But then again, if people want to, let em. How was the 1960's revolution nothing? It brought a whole decade of unity between youths, as opposed to today, when we're all busy stabbing each other. It brought about an endless stream of musical genius and some of the most celebrated works of literature and film. It brought about sexual liberation and caused some of us to question that authority that really should be questioned. Think much? Twat.
I must have missed the part of my post where I said the entire 1960s revolution was nothing?? And the word "revolution" when speaking about woodstock is an overstatement. Drugs and psychedelic music is some revolution eh? Think much? Twat.
Obviously thats what you were implying until you realised you're a fookin dumbass, but anyway, even if you weren't, Woodstock was still a huge part of that, and it's not just about drugs and psychedelic music. Events like that showed how people were changing, and they also brought much needed attention to a futile war in which young men were being forced to fight and die in needlessly. You're a dickhead paintballer, you know nothing.
I was simply speaking of the event woodstock you "fookin dumbass", dont try to change your argument to the entire 1960s revolution because you dont know how to defend yourself. But I guess your right "Events like that showed how people were changing" obviously you know little to nothing about it and maybe saw a few youtube videos on it now all the sudden your an expert. You know nothing and need to grow up. Also, before you argue anymore, please try to fully understand what you are talking about
Firstly, what exactly gives you that higher authority to make judgements over what it was worth? You can have your opinion, i'm just letting you know it's not shared by me. Secondly, you don't know a thing about me or my knowledge on these matters, you're just making silly presumptions built on sand to try to undermine me and/or make me angry.

"Also, before you argue anymore, please try to fully understand what you are talking about". That is exactly what you should have done before you made those stupid comments about my person.
Another thing- at least i've given you sensible reasons why I believe the things I do whereas you have not... And just for your information I base my views off a lot more than youtube videos. I don't mean to sound pedantic (although using the word pedantic in a video comment is quite pedantic) I'm an english and history student who is familiar with all the aspects surrounding these events and a general enthusiast interested in the 1960's (Shall I say revolution?) revolution..
I was 14 when the festival was going on and touring the east coast with my dad and brother checking out colleges. We were in Utica on that weekend. Did'nt even know about the event until a while later.
The second side starts with Joe Cocker - With a little Help from my friends, then the rain starts, then there is a comment with Music in the background, and the end of first tape is Crosby, Stills and Nash - Suite Judy Blue Eyes (Unfortunately incomplete...)

The scene sure looks a lot different here 39 years later from the film clips. With all of that lovely landscaping ol' Max's place doesn't appear to have been a working dairy farm in many a year.
I visited this site in 2002---it really hasn't changed too much from what I saw in the film---there is some landscaping and a few houses by the lake with fences that weren't there and that's about it. When you face the field from where the stage was, you don't see any of that. It's not a farm though, like you said, and the site is used for concerts now. I grew up in Vt---when you are on a farm and then you go back to the land and it is no longer a farm, there is a different feeling to it.
There are not directly some highlights. It´s a reportage about the full three days (unfortunately I´ve lost the second Cassette but as soon as I find it, I´ll post it here) It begins with some speaking, Then comes Motherless child (Richie Havens) then some speaking again, then Joan Baez with swing low, then the Who with summertime. The first side ends with some speaking about Kondalini-Yoga (Don´t know what its in english).
I was 10 yrs old at Woodstock.Went mom and my uncle.Thought Man there's alot of people here and they all seem pretty happy.Saw my first pair of breasts there,probably figured out what a hard on was all about too.Man I wish I could go back there,back to the day it was sweet!
I was also 10 years old that summer and the most exciting thing for me that year had taken place the previous month when a couple of fellows took a little stroll--on the moon. (The sort of thing you'd expect a 10-year-old boy to be excited about.) I think I may have seen the media reports of the festival that soon followed, it's hard to remember, but I think it was the following year when the film and album were released that the historic dimensions of the event really became clear to me.
in my opinion this was the best thing that ever happened to the world.woodstock 1969 was a ledgendary 4 day concert that will always be remembered.i would do anything and I MEAN ANYTHING to go back in time to be there all 4 days that the festival took place
Well, I'm glad it's not a subdivision. Kinda like Graceland. Been to both before the boomers got to them. They aren't at all the same anymore. Still got the memories though. Good video. Wanta see some real woodstock kids, just go to some unfamous cow field, weeds and all, get out a guitar and let your imagination soar...peace
Different video camera's with different zoom lenses pick up different things and on closer inspection it does look like some sheds or something have been built far up on the hill,looking at other clips , but you can't really see them here. It's bad some of the land has been built on but an least 75% of it is there.
This footage of the land site looks very good just like it was in 1969. Have been looking at some other you tube video's and unfortunatley the land has since changed. A stupid Woodstock museum is there now, who cares about going in there to see things, just buy books and the dvds, it means more to have the land in original condition, than stupid nostalgia things in the building. What next a museum building at the Altamont raceway to remember that concert, total trash, leave it like it is.
i was 15 when this took place.me and my friends wanted to go because i was only about 95 miles north(albany). my parents said a big fat NO.on the saturday night news it showed what a mess the nys thruway was along with the concert site. my parents said "see look at that". guess they were right. still wish i went.
the greatest year of my life, graduated high school, my first new car (69 barracuda fast back), met the love of my life, still married 39 yrs.later,AND OF COURSE ATTENDED WOODSTOCK 69, still have my entrance tickets,also turned 18 yrs. old. WOW, what yr.
This area is now BETHEL WOODS CENTER FOR THE ARTS. they have a website if you want to see what's going on there now... they have a map and shows the monument is still there:)
Think of "Hendrix - Villanova Junction" and this great place seems to be much more better than you can see in this video;)

I never said to encourage them to do drugs. But then again, if people want to, let em. How was the 1960's revolution nothing? It brought a whole decade of unity between youths, as opposed to today, when we're all busy stabbing each other. It brought about an endless stream of musical genius and some of the most celebrated works of literature and film. It brought about sexual liberation and caused some of us to question that authority that really should be questioned. Think much? Twat.

I must have missed the part of my post where I said the entire 1960s revolution was nothing?? And the word "revolution" when speaking about woodstock is an overstatement. Drugs and psychedelic music is some revolution eh? Think much? Twat.
paintballler131415 2 years ago
Obviously thats what you were implying until you realised you're a fookin dumbass, but anyway, even if you weren't, Woodstock was still a huge part of that, and it's not just about drugs and psychedelic music. Events like that showed how people were changing, and they also brought much needed attention to a futile war in which young men were being forced to fight and die in needlessly. You're a dickhead paintballer, you know nothing.
nattt23 2 years ago
I was simply speaking of the event woodstock you "fookin dumbass", dont try to change your argument to the entire 1960s revolution because you dont know how to defend yourself. But I guess your right "Events like that showed how people were changing" obviously you know little to nothing about it and maybe saw a few youtube videos on it now all the sudden your an expert. You know nothing and need to grow up. Also, before you argue anymore, please try to fully understand what you are talking about
paintballler131415 2 years ago
Firstly, what exactly gives you that higher authority to make judgements over what it was worth? You can have your opinion, i'm just letting you know it's not shared by me. Secondly, you don't know a thing about me or my knowledge on these matters, you're just making silly presumptions built on sand to try to undermine me and/or make me angry.

And none of this applies to you? So ignorant....
paintballler131415 2 years ago
"Also, before you argue anymore, please try to fully understand what you are talking about". That is exactly what you should have done before you made those stupid comments about my person.
nattt23 2 years ago
As well as what you should have done before calling most of a generation stupid, like your above them? So ignorant...
paintballler131415 2 years ago 2
Most of what generation?
nattt23 2 years ago
Aha yes, my first comment, 'stupid' maybe was the wrong word... Boring? Unimaginative? 'Most' I think is the watch word there though.
nattt23 2 years ago
Another thing- at least i've given you sensible reasons why I believe the things I do whereas you have not... And just for your information I base my views off a lot more than youtube videos. I don't mean to sound pedantic (although using the word pedantic in a video comment is quite pedantic) I'm an english and history student who is familiar with all the aspects surrounding these events and a general enthusiast interested in the 1960's (Shall I say revolution?) revolution..

The second side starts with Joe Cocker - With a little Help from my friends, then the rain starts, then there is a comment with Music in the background, and the end of first tape is Crosby, Stills and Nash - Suite Judy Blue Eyes (Unfortunately incomplete...)

The scene sure looks a lot different here 39 years later from the film clips. With all of that lovely landscaping ol' Max's place doesn't appear to have been a working dairy farm in many a year.
aarfeld 3 years ago
I visited this site in 2002---it really hasn't changed too much from what I saw in the film---there is some landscaping and a few houses by the lake with fences that weren't there and that's about it. When you face the field from where the stage was, you don't see any of that. It's not a farm though, like you said, and the site is used for concerts now. I grew up in Vt---when you are on a farm and then you go back to the land and it is no longer a farm, there is a different feeling to it.

aarfeld 3 years ago
There are not directly some highlights. It´s a reportage about the full three days (unfortunately I´ve lost the second Cassette but as soon as I find it, I´ll post it here) It begins with some speaking, Then comes Motherless child (Richie Havens) then some speaking again, then Joan Baez with swing low, then the Who with summertime. The first side ends with some speaking about Kondalini-Yoga (Don´t know what its in english).

I was 10 yrs old at Woodstock.Went mom and my uncle.Thought Man there's alot of people here and they all seem pretty happy.Saw my first pair of breasts there,probably figured out what a hard on was all about too.Man I wish I could go back there,back to the day it was sweet!

I was also 10 years old that summer and the most exciting thing for me that year had taken place the previous month when a couple of fellows took a little stroll--on the moon. (The sort of thing you'd expect a 10-year-old boy to be excited about.) I think I may have seen the media reports of the festival that soon followed, it's hard to remember, but I think it was the following year when the film and album were released that the historic dimensions of the event really became clear to me.

It probably still has faint smells of marijuana and maybe some rusted old broken guitar strings still laying around.

Well, I'm glad it's not a subdivision. Kinda like Graceland. Been to both before the boomers got to them. They aren't at all the same anymore. Still got the memories though. Good video. Wanta see some real woodstock kids, just go to some unfamous cow field, weeds and all, get out a guitar and let your imagination soar...peace

Different video camera's with different zoom lenses pick up different things and on closer inspection it does look like some sheds or something have been built far up on the hill,looking at other clips , but you can't really see them here. It's bad some of the land has been built on but an least 75% of it is there.

This footage of the land site looks very good just like it was in 1969. Have been looking at some other you tube video's and unfortunatley the land has since changed. A stupid Woodstock museum is there now, who cares about going in there to see things, just buy books and the dvds, it means more to have the land in original condition, than stupid nostalgia things in the building. What next a museum building at the Altamont raceway to remember that concert, total trash, leave it like it is.

I was there last saturday nov. 1rst again
and make a new video, so you can watch it.
