Is this on the directors cut Woodstock film?? He's so good, what an amazing man, and he sounds a little like Robert Plant I think. But please someone let me know!
OMG. I remember when I got this dvd for x-mas I loved this performance. BUT HE WASINT LISTID ON THE DVD. so maddening. This is actually such a good song. you`d think with the hell the world is going through, this music would be back on top. No more rap and hip hop, just nice and soulfull music. What I would do to meet 14 year olds that listen `d to this:(
@theantithesis1 That is Jennifer Warnes in the crowd. I think it had rained earlier, so her hair is flat, but that's her. Supporting her friend Bert Sommer who was also appearing in the West Coast production of "Hair" with her.
The reaction of the blonde girl towards the end of Bert's performance is actually used in the movie as a reaction to another song. I guess if Bert had been signed to Warner Bros instead of Capitol Records history would have recorded his Woodstock appearance differently.
The blond girl in the crowd they shoot near the end of the song bears a passing resemblance to Jennifer Warnes, whom Bert wrote this song for. I doubt if it's actually her. But it would be really cool if it was.
I am embarrassed to say that I thought I was a 60s scholar and I only knew Bert Sommer by name but never saw this performance (shame on Warner Bros.) This is a mesmerizing song and his vocals are not only haunting but beautiful. I've listened to it at least 30x since I found it on YouTube a few days ago. He may be gone but not lost. This song just stays in your head like a happy dream!
How did he get haier like that? Well, that frozen smoke-like halo of hair you see was given out to cats like Dylan, Guthrie, Redding, Bert and a handful of talented people before God spited us with hairstraighteners, Lil wayne and the X factor.
@Music100Quality We had a "WoodStock" in the 90's, well lets just say i don't think were gonna have another one of those for a very long time.. People always have to ruin the good.
All staged & stuffed with illuminati assets, even back then ... How many millennia does this really go back? How come Bert Sommer hardly got any exposure later on? These "stars" appear to always come from nowhere (no mention in Wiki where he was born) then disappear at a young age stricken by some sudden, strange disease. Woodstock, the perfect flesh-in-the-porn occasion to give the latest-bred puppet (de)generation of a completely hidden parallel society an outing.
he's the face and the voice of our generation - the generation fo peace and love - our generation. Maybe the young generation will find their own face and their onwn music - and be as happy as we were therefore!!!!!!!!
I believe he was left off the movie and the plaque as well because of some sort of record label issue.. He was not under Warner Brothers so WB did not want to have any conflict. Very stupid I know, but apparently in the near future a new Woodstock CD will come out with Bert Sommer on it.
Not only was Bert Sommer left off of the Woodstock film, but he was also left off of the plaque at the Woodstock site, which is a complete act of disrespect towards such a great musician.
you must read this. once you have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murdered in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste ths message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you well you start to copy and paste
Feel proud of him, he was a great singer and great composer. his songs when he was singer in the left banke are amazing. listen "and Suddenly" and "Men are building sand".
@Dyanderringer I have a name that suits you. SHITHEAD! Because only someone with shit for brains would say something stupid and disrespectful like that. He done more in his short life than your loser-ass ever will.
when i first found out that I was related to him, i listened to it thinking it was robert plant. and yes, i knew who robert plant was at age 7. so i was like, "I THOUGHT YOU SAID HIS NAME WAS BERT!" Then when i saw the video, i totally see the resemblance. my whole family has huge hair.
esta es una música hermosa. su voz te lleva a otro mundo donde hay paz, felicidad y una cantidad de amor libre. la letra es tan significativo a diferencia de la música de hoy.
If I'm not wrong,I've seen an interview of him where he was talking about his performance at Woodstock '69.He said that it was actually his first performance in front of an audience,especially so many people,like there.He made an album before Woodstock,and played in musical ''Hair''.But,apparently,it was the first time he was singing his own songs in front of an audience,and,he was nervous,as he said.Videos of him are rare,too bad,he should've been more famous.He was talented,and good looking.
@alhemicar091 Yes, that interview is on YT...I always loved his music, but when I saw his personality in that interview, I totally fell in love! He was so adorable and funny!
This song was written about singer Jennifer Warnes, who was in the cast with Bert in the NYC production of "Hair". I would bet money that's bespectacled Jennifer herself at 1:48 and 2:00.
As for the performance: doesn't this guy remind you of Donovan or Marc Bolan?
This is the most obviously "tripping" person footage or pic of all. She is gathering the soul & magic of Bert/music/the eternal moment. Was probobly the highlight of her life. Beautiful !
@TangleF50 I couldn't agree more....this spellbinding performance by Bert Sommer completely blew me away. He opened a ten-song set that Friday night at 8pm with "Jennifer", a set for which he received a standing ovation. According to one Woodstock attendee it was "the absolute highlight of the evening"!!
Wow. I must say. I was here at Bert Sommer's looking for a peaceful, zenful, inner hippie moment of good vibe meditation. This is the last place on earth I expected to get into an argument with someone extolling the bad karma virtues of deliberate pain infliction through hitting children. DIDN'T BERT HAVE THE GREATEST BRACELET AT WOODSTOCK, THOUGH??? That silver cuff thing's gorgeous.
@zephranna01 That 'these kids today' are a bunch of lazy gutless slackers is the same myth perpetuated about EVERY current generation of youth. Current FBI records on juvenile crime prove you're wrong. Studies show that regions where kids are treated respectfully by adults have better education results than areas where corporal punishment is frequently applied. These are the facts, not opinions. Sorry.
@zephranna01 The Woodstock generation's whole rebellion was specifically to change the world so that their kids and grandkids would have it easier and wouldn't have to put up with the authoritarian abuse they did, yet here you are implying that there should be a return to the very measures they rebelled against. Your views defeat the whole purpose of what they accomplished, and would only cause history to repeat itself.
Never know this artist before or seen this video.(now I'm a fan) Beautiful hippie feeling full with peace and love. I was born in a wrong decade..but I'm still forever hippie in my heart. Sweet song.<3

Bert Sommer is my grandpa's brother.my mothers name is margy sommer and my grandpa is bob sommer. for those of you who didnt know he existed, i didnt learn about him till i was halfway through my life. im 14 now. dont feel bad.
@cycleman88 Wow dude you have some real history to share with your grandchildren one day, very cool. You have the opportunity to help carry on the legacy of the hippy generation.
@cycleman88 I love Bert....how lucky you are to be related. Im sure your family can tell you stories or whatever about him....I would love to hear them. So your grandpa and Bert are brothers....I believe he also had a sister or two and I know he had a son.
@cycleman88 I played in the local pubs around Albany, NY in the early eighties. There was a fellow named Bert Sommer that ran in the same circuit. One in the same? He claimed to have played at Woodstock. I had heard that he had died. He and I were both big drinkers at the time.
Wow that is cool. I love this song and I wished it was on the original Woodstock video..This man has a great voice! It is sad that he died so young. Troy NY is close to where I live. I visited the Woodstock museum just 2 weeks ago. Where do you live cycleman?

in response to polkadotpuss. just remember unfortunately bert sommer cannot reply to your comments. so i humbly suggest that until you can write or sing a song as good as this you shut the fuck up and keep your fashion comments to yourself, thank you.
How could i have missed this, first time i've heard it, OK I was only 10 at the time, but what a beautiful song, just when you think you've heard everything a gem like this appears. sometimes you see kids write on youtube about how they wish they'd been teenagers in the seventies, but i wish i'd been a teenager in the sixties.
@polkadotpuss i dont give a fuck about my appearance either why should you cater to the way the media wants you to look who cares what other people think opinions are like assholes....
I might be mistaken, but I guess the beautiful smiling girl is actually Jennifer Warnes. If you check out the website made for Bert Sommer, he had her in mind when he made the song and Jennifer Warnes did look a lot like this girl at the time. They both performed in Hair and it would make sense to focus on her in the film.
I'm ashamed to say Bert Sommer was completely unknown to me, despite this being up my alley, musically speaking, in every way imaginable: the era, the genre, etc. Wow. 'Sucks to learn through this gorgeous song/performance who he was AND THAT HE DIED only now. Thanks for posting.
wonderful wonderful song
i think the footage of the blonde girl with the round glasses was used in the soul sacrifice footage as well (or vice versa)

I take that as a serious serious oversight. Ruined my trip there when I think about it.
That stone was placed sometime in the 90's as far as I understand. Too bad someone hadn't taken them to task before it was too late.

@cycleman88 I played in the local pubs around Albany, NY in the early eighties. There was a fellow named Bert Sommer that ran in the same circuit. One in the same? He claimed to have played at Woodstock. I had heard that he had died. He and I were both big drinkers at the time.

Wow that is cool. I love this song and I wished it was on the original Woodstock video..This man has a great voice! It is sad that he died so young. Troy NY is close to where I live. I visited the Woodstock museum just 2 weeks ago. Where do you live cycleman?

in response to polkadotpuss. just remember unfortunately bert sommer cannot reply to your comments. so i humbly suggest that until you can write or sing a song as good as this you shut the fuck up and keep your fashion comments to yourself, thank you.

How could i have missed this, first time i've heard it, OK I was only 10 at the time, but what a beautiful song, just when you think you've heard everything a gem like this appears. sometimes you see kids write on youtube about how they wish they'd been teenagers in the seventies, but i wish i'd been a teenager in the sixties.

I might be mistaken, but I guess the beautiful smiling girl is actually Jennifer Warnes. If you check out the website made for Bert Sommer, he had her in mind when he made the song and Jennifer Warnes did look a lot like this girl at the time. They both performed in Hair and it would make sense to focus on her in the film.

I'm ashamed to say Bert Sommer was completely unknown to me, despite this being up my alley, musically speaking, in every way imaginable: the era, the genre, etc. Wow. 'Sucks to learn through this gorgeous song/performance who he was AND THAT HE DIED only now. Thanks for posting.
