Matthews Southern Confort - Woodstock

[lbaggett1010]

Those were the days my friend so many fond memories

[rlove329]

Get the dvd , 42 years later it is still got it going on!!!!!! Classic rockn'roll

[ZebraBus]

This is the original version I remember... and is still the classic version... man the 60's were great...

[Maoszman]

You can recreate this anytime you want. Woodstock is a state of mind.

[forzamicha46]

Thanks to this Generation alot of things in music are different now, but days have been changed lately.. so sad we left only with the memories...

[ilovebigbums]

what a generation ! and i am trying run run and trying to get back to the garden!

envy the sixties generation!

[angelinodecaesteker]

beautiful people :')

[darrell60302]

MY FAVORATE VERSION, MY SISTER PLAYED THIS WHEN I WAS A KID

[VoxMax1200]

What an awesome music! and the vid ..

Somebody told me this song is great.

Somebody was right!

[Kiwiangus]

We are star dust, if supernova's hadn't exploded we wouldn't have the atoms we are made of. It is a pity that the music scene today is about money and self interest, music back them was by people who, although wanted to be famous, wanted thier own music to say something. How many singers today sing about anything? Song writers should stop buying "how to write number one hit books" and going to ":how to be a rock and roll singer":schools and looked deep inside themsleves and do something special

[georgeharbaugh]

@Kiwiangus

Well said...spot on!

[angelinodecaesteker]

@Kiwiangus amen man, but then we sung for better times, now we have better times, at least, we have the recourses now... i still see not much good in this world :'(

[polarbearchampion]

"We are stardust, we are golden" wonderful timeless words. it's such a pity the magic of Woodstock didn't help prevent the crazy consumption in the decades since. Mother Earth only has so much to give. We need a woodstock renaissance and fast!

[adamsv1000]

Why do people have to push religion everywhere? What the heck is for Jesus and the woodstock?

[YOU2UUB]

This song with the music and melody is like the woodstock national anthem.

[OLDHAM4ALWAYS]

Absolutely brilliant. I really wish all this could return so I could live through this period of my life. It was fabulous, truly superb.

[treasureinvessel]

Now stop all the emptiness, come back to the real garden , call out loud unto Jesus Christ from deep within your heart , and get washed from your sins, I swear to the living God you are back in the garden right away and eating the Tree of Life and are golden forever and ever with the millions.

[MiklePrickles]

@treasureinvessel i thought that god blokey kicks you out his garden if he catches you scrumpimg his apples, and as an after thought. when you have been washed from sin do you have jesus' blessing to throw bricks at easy women? xx peace be with you

[treasureinvessel]

@MiklePrickles Look at the world today, Woodstock brought noting, while Jesus Christ is enlarged in His true believers, building His kingdom of Love an Peach by dispensing Himself into His members. see John 10:10 2 Pet 1:4

[swordhunter12]

@treasureinvessel Also I wouldn't say Woodstock brought nothing it's just that what it brought didn't last (which I put down mainly to the end of the Vietnam War and the growth of Anti-Communist paranoia). That said it did bring SOMETHING and what that something was was a great day in a time of genuine and legitimate fear when nuclear war could erupt at any moment. True it didn't last but, under different circumstances, it may have lasted a little longer.

[treasureinvessel]

@swordhunter12 Ok your right it was something back then. Today we are challenged by the same star reaction called wormwood.

[swordhunter12]

@treasureinvessel I thought that one of the reasons God was said to have forced us to leave Eden was that he feared that once we ate the fruit of knowledge we would go on to eat the fruit of life. Either way as a former atheist (sorta agnostic now since the existence of a deity can't really be proven or dis-proven) I believe that we can only be golden for so long; life is only worth living because it ends. If we lived forever we would turn from stardust to dirt, from gold to stone.

[treasureinvessel]

@treasureinvessel the purpose of not having sin , is to have access to the secret place .

[mefein112]

Lets have a thought for Joni who wrote this ingenious song, or am I wrong here??

[The1fuzzylogic]

@mefein112 You are right, she did write this great song.

[YOU2UUB]

@The1fuzzylogic writing songs is one thing. But the most important elements are music arrangement and melody. A song can be construed to sound different in other ways regardless of how the lyrics are written. The lyrics are the same but it is the music arrangement and melody is where the real genius is in compiling a song together. If you can write poetry then you can write lyrics to a song.

[BS6463]

@mefein112 you are correct, it is a joni mitchell song....great songwriter

[cleadonhills]

For a brief moment, a window opened for mankind.

[MrDayday58]

I was born Jan 58, so I was 12, when this was on. I loved the time, I wish I was back there. These days I'm ill and suffer depression and a hernia. One of the best songs ever written, from possibly the greatest decade of them all in the World. No decade since can match the 1960's. I was a child then and loved every minute. My favourite year in my whole life is 1967, when I was nine.

[srg7688]

mmm i thnk the fleet foxes took some influence from this band

[mustsilm]

love the bit from 3:12-3:40.

[girlmusic2remember]

I always called this the "gentle version" of the song, compared with C, S, N & Y. I was in 11th grade when it was released. I feel nearly geriatric right now!

[max10brunner]

this song is one of the bes i have ever heared!!!

[619ccy1]

Would have loved to have been there!

[apfelbuerste111]

guuys on sunday to tuesday was the 41st anniversary

[mobyboy]

wonderful era, wonderful song ! what can i say ? I wasnt even born then...

[HBKanedge818]

I wish I could have been born 40 year earlier in 1947!. I must have re-played this song 100 times by now. It's so sad both Jimi Hendrix & Janis Joplin died the year after Woodstock.

[mobyboy]

@HBKanedge818 it was worthwhile to live those days, and even die... who wants to live these days ? everything is sleazy, pimps & bimobs control the music, corraption and expenssive. sorry for being innocent.

[HBKanedge818]

I personally think this version is alot better that the Joni Mitchell & Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young versions. I love their music as well but this version is Gold!!!!!.

[moti4love]

o wonderful song

like a great dream of the lost pure world

[bipolarbert]

Yes this was the wishy washiest version but it got to number 1 in England !! The group consisted of Ian Matthews (who had previously been a singer in FAirport Convention), some other young guys and a middle aged pedal steel player called Gordon Huntley. (Middle aged musicians were an anachronism in rock groups at this time !!) His work is a strong feature of this version.

[OLaverty111]

This was 40 yrs ago!

[OLaverty111]

Peace & Love! xx

[lemmufezar]

Hi there, you in beautiful Brasilia! I`m greeting you from Germany. When I watched your video, I knew that you are very emotional. The pics which show the wedding-scene and the couple, seemed to appear a little bit longer than most of the other pictures. Well, I hope you have a nice wife, and I firmly believe that she`s one of the happiest women in the world! Live for love! Bye, L.

[trickykid73]

How life should be ........The simple life ....Amazing times !!

[freekmunky1]

@commanderkrokodil... totally agree man..CSNY version is fuckin awesome.. this ones a bit wishy washy.....amazin tune nevertheless...

[relytsan]

i wanna go back in time and take some good acid

[CommanderKrokodil]

preffer the crossby still nash & young version

[fullflop]

still a great song .. yes it was released before the farm venue but wow what a song

[SANewbie78221]

One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs to come out of the Peace and Love era, which was replete with some of the awesomest concerts to have ever taken place, starting with Monterrey in 1967 and reaching a crescendo with Woodstock...Sadly, three of the most revered musicians of that time...Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison...overdosed themselves into oblivion shortly after that...RIP to them all...

[Andreagear4]

Ich war 13 Jahre alt. Wäre so gern dabei gewesen.

[BeanBandit01]

Esta es sin duda la mejor versión y completa además.

[millergirl60107]

This says release 1971 but it was already number one in Nov 1970

[morleygrey]

This version debut in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 at 83 on March 6, 1971.

[florinfetesti]

I wish I would had lived back then! And not here in Romania. Those were the best times ever.

[pjmetco]

Release date May 1971? This version charted in the U.K. November 1970.

[gamoonbat]

I remember seeing these albums around back in the day. I cannot remember the music, though.

[shetalkscrazytalk84]

CSNY did a phenomenal reworking of this Joni Mitchell masterwork but this version is better! it's bloody eerie!

[willyfog123]
