  • Why did you wreck this video with this music?>?

  • at 0.23 it looks like he's on a cell phone

  • Le mot d'ordre mondial était Paix , Amour et Musique. La non-violence coulait dans nos veines. Rejet de tout ce qui était symbole de guerre et de matérialisme. Nombreux sont ceux qui ont cramé leur vie dans la défonce et dans la came. Le paradis n'était pas sur terre et simplement artificiel. Il reste des démons de cette époque et j'en suis un. Je rêvais d'un monde meilleur et je vivais de rêves. Aujourd'hui, je m'efforce de vivre les quelques rêves qui m'habite.......

  • this was when the music was real :)

  • I would have done anything to be at Woodstock. I love 60's and 70's music. Sometimes I get some flack for liking :/

    Anyways, someone please answer this question for me.

    How in the world is it possible that so many people were there?

    How did they spread the word around?

  • Thanks for the Woodstock montage.

    With musical history in mind, the posted, "40 Years of History in 3 Minutes" is a music video set to GET BACK and GLASS ONION which hits on historical events, 8mm film antics of the time and The Beatles' rooftop performance tightly cut to the music and lyrics. Enjoy.

  • musica escrota .... funk de merda

  • wrong song choice

  • It's incredible how peacful this was!

    If this was recreated there would be fights and blood...

  • I agree that this music has ruined the joy of Woodstock. I was alive and enjoying the music at that time like most and this song is out of place entirely, especially with the lyrics used as it is only vulgar words now and has no meaning at all. Simple disrespect is all they are singing about. We were singing about ending the Vietnam war and to end all wars. We did not trust people over 30 for good reason...they were all war mongers back then. All these years later how little has changed.

  • I LOVE the music set to this video. Where is your JOY my friends?

  • I am inviting to the Woodstock festival to Poland! Peace & love & music & ganja! 4,5, 6 August 2011!!!

    Addresses of web pages - password "Przystanek Woodstock" for Wikipedia, I will send interesting films and other websites and the plenty of photographs to the mail. Hmm... I think that I will help also with the accommodation.:) I offer the help and the information. As far as possible with journey from Warsaw. jsmd999

  • hey that's not black swan lane. i can't find it. ;c

  • Hey, I was alive when this took place. I've listened to this clip about a dozen times. And now, man, the music finally is starting to sound good. Woodstock was about movement of humanity into new dimensions, and this musiic now has moved it into a new dimension. Go with it, the flow.

  • this music does not go along with the video! :(

  • Hey! I was in the shot at 2:52...I was taking a dump in the third Port-a-San from the left...

  • Beautiful song. Which is his name?

  • Sorry....

  • cool video...but dub reggae?

  • The Music Blows... I seem to remember a couple of decent songs from the era that could have been used, instead of this current crapola!!

  • Ok lets play some shit that was at woodstock, shall we

  • Here's my impression of every hippie... " ya man, were gonna fight the corporations by smoking pot, listening to music and not fighting at all". Ted pass me my Budweiser is Dominoes here yet? Oh ya death to corporations"....

  • @TheBestTroller Your name is very befitting of an ignorant douche.

  • @loungelizard5000 says the guy whose name is the "lounge lizard". Thats about as original as a wet dish cloth.... XD

  • @TheBestTroller I don't really get why stereotypical hippies are said to be too lazy to actually fight for what they believe in. The Marijuana Legalization Movement, Earth Day, all those protests against Vietnam, they are all proof that that is a misconception.

  • @JordanG901278 Well the same thing could be said about a person who takes a crap every morning. "hey look at him he's not lazy because he's getting up to poop"... Sorry but I dont follow your logic

  • @TheBestTroller When you take a shit does it spawn an entire cultural movement that changes the fabric of the United States? Hippies and their ideaology spawned some of the most important movements of our time. They aren't lazy because they got up and marched against a senseless war (Vietnam), an outdated, ridiculous law (Marijuana Prohibition), and lobbied for a cleaner Earth for us to live in.

  • @JordanG901278 Their ultra-leftist movements laid the groundwork for nearly all that is wrong today in America... break-down of family values, feminist movement, multiculturalism(it destroys the original culture), liberals spending to much government dollars, etc...

    The ultra-leftist mentality that this hippie movement laid within the past 40 years have infected the universities and government agencies... Its no surprise why congress has its approval rating in the gutter.

  • @TheBestTroller And exactly how is the feminist movement, multiculturalism, and the breakdown of not family values, family regime, a bad thing? Those were all positive steps forward for our nation. Without them i'm sure we'd be even more of a national outcast than we already are

  • @JordanG901278 The feminist movement breaks down the family because marriage and raising a family is a 2 person job. But Unfornately you have both the husband and the wife playing 1 role (working at a job). Who full-fulling the other role? This is why you see high divorce rates, low birth rates, moral decay, etc. This isn't just an American problem. ALL western nations are going through this. Keep in mind this "women in the workplace" phase. Is after all an experiment and new...

  • @JordanG901278 And as for the vales of multiculturalism. Well... There are no values... Its just one big free for all experiment and lets see if it works and if you speak out against it your a racist. Multiculturalism is to accepting. However there are things we can learn from other cultures. But multiculturalism doesn't just accept the good... It also accepts the good, the bad, and the in between.

    "TOLERANCE AND APATHY ARE THE LAST VIRTUES OF A DYING SOCIETY

    - Aristotle

  • @JordanG901278 Notice how I prove points and facts... and how I dont name call in my counter arguments(unlike you).... but thanks for asking about my opinion. I tried to answer each of your questions the best I could with only a 500 max charter limit.

  • @TheBestTroller You prove points? You don't prove points, all you have proved to me is that you are another American who is so buried underneath your own "traditional values" to be able to see that the feminist movement has empowered women to the point that one had a good chance of becoming president, when once they could not even work. You are confusing the feminist movement with radical female empowerment. They are much different. Just like Muslims and Extremists are different.

  • @TheBestTroller The Multiculturalism of this nation has saved it from being even worse than it already is. However many of the minorities that make up that multi-culturlism are responsible for a lot of negativity, but you need to understand that if they never were properly recognized in the United States, we would have most likely had a second Civil War. When King was assassinated cities were burned. Now if we still disregarded other races, the country would have burned.

  • @TheBestTroller I name-call in my counter arguements because your kind frustrates me to no avail. You preach on about traditional America and heartland values and, like your "values", your conservative blood is expired.

  • @JordanG901278 lol expired? by whos standard? I can care less about values and principles. Im more interested in what works.... and what doesn't...

  • @TheBestTroller And multiculturalism and feminism have worked for this country.

  • @JordanG901278 hahaha if by "worked" you mean a gradual moral, economic and super power decline... then yes it has worked...

  • @TheBestTroller By worked i mean it prevented an imminent extremist rebellion against the United States. You really think that black race or women would've stood for the constant limitations they had much longer? The only moral and economic declines i see are the ones that have been set in motion by inner-city slumlords and greedy corporate executives. not hippies.

  • @JordanG901278 Soon this hippie generation will die off in the next 20 years and there ultra-leftist hate every american mentality will go with them and America will be restored to what it once was... The hippie generation produced great music and the Vietnam protest was probably a noble cause.... but dont over play it....

  • @TheBestTroller You perceive hippies to be anti-American anarchists. I believe that the hippie generation were the most patriotic of us all. Patriotic enough to truly look out for the well-being of the American people, keep us out of war and protect our Earth. Not to mention help solidify race relations in the country. Instead of the ignorant flag-waving, God-fearing right wingers who bash gays, and blindly trot behind whatever war any Republican started and call it true patriotism. That is

  • @TheBestTroller ignorant white-trash who made us this country before hippies and beatniks came along. What do you think this country once was? It was lock-step government conformity, racism, and narrow-mindedness.

  • Thanks for the photos but I can do without the crap music, ...Does'nt fit.

  • The young woman in the foreground of frame 20 was featured in in a where-are-they-now article (Life's 30th anniversary of the festival issue). Although the photo is in black and white, she's wearing a long indigo blue Indian dress with hand embroidery stitched on. She still had the dress 30 years later, and better yet, she still fit into it 30 years later. ;-)

  • The godfather of Woodstock is watching you guys ") As are the people in the revolution/evolution. Regardless of opinions fed by ego and shame. This is in support of peace and love. Of freedom and hope. Of beauty and tradgedy of loss and gain. It has come around again my friends. Their ruining our ocean waters. The pain from the wars rage-ing on in our lands are upsetting us. You count. Thanks for the vid, and the recomendation Artie xxx

  • where i am?? :(

  • va bene il video ma la musica che cazzo centra curiosita??!!capisci un cazzo

  • Blunt if you weren't so stoned & you're a very nasty stoner; you'd realize that the word is shut up not "shurrup"!

  • you guys should not have watched this video! peace out

  • Blunt - no I won't shut up, especially after you called me a c**t. Music is playing and/or singing a melody; it is NOT cacophonous!

  • Wow, having no penis really made you mad!!!

  • Blunt - maybe if you weren't so stoned all the time you'd realize that that is NOT music. Also, you might have a better vocabulary & not have to rely on foul language all of the time.

  • i love this song!

    Black Swan Lane is my favorite band and they are truly amazing.

    btw - their music was even featured in "Adventureland."

  • now these people are wining about their real estate and their pensions.

  • Amazing, we go from great muic to crap in 40 years!!

  • ya 1.25 girls smokin a joint lol

  • NICE.....At 11 sec. mark ridin da Caprice my hippie bros & sisters!!

  • wished i could have been to that party lol

  • you are a hippie ?

  • i never thought a video could be ruined so thoroughly by the background music.

    i found the worst music to play with a historic video.

    i had to mute the music just to comment.

  • I'm with you on that comment, Julieyard1.....I am certainly with you on that.

  • @julieyard1 no offense but i love this song and though its not from the era it reflects the vibe in my opinion. 

  • @julieyard1 I know, I had to put on some John Lennon to watch the video to :)

  • For all those Black Swan Lane fans out there, they are finishing up their latest album. It should be out early 2010!

  • LOL!! I really don't care if this is about 'music' ..you are just one gay cock sucker...did your daddy make you suck his dick when you were little? and let me guess, you liked it, didnt you? because the only cunt I see here is you and the only dickless asshole, oh...my bad...you like the asshole, you give it and take it there...go fuck around another site if you want to use uncalled for replies, because 2 can play, dickless motherfucker...now, go suck your daddy's little dick!!

  • Woodstock was a great event and I can only imagine how much better it would've been had Essra Mohawk played as scheduled. Trivia: it was Essra's description to Joni Mitchell that inspired Joni to write "Woodstock." True story...

  • peace love joy

  • if any one finds a download of this song lemme no

  • This is awesome! Perfectly chosen for 40th! A tribute to all the Musicians who made our world and gave us ALL, the music we have today. It's the 21st Century and it's a bummer that the "Best" didn't stick around to see it unfold. To: Black Swan Lane.

    That's the way it was, but just in a different way! Right On! To all those whose posts above say Except to Youngbloody the 12 year old, your all too young to make shitty comments.

  • what's this song called? cool Background music

  • whats this song,?? 2x

  • The song is "Cool Motherfucker" by Black Swan Lane (Kwasi Asante toasting). Great track, although not particularly representative of the band's other work which is more indie guitar oriented.

  • Nice:)

  • the songs sounds like shaggy for some reason idk if its old or not

  • WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS GOD DAMN SONG?

  • Completely wrong music for the subject matter. And hippies don't deserve any recognition, except for the way they degraded the culture. I grew up in the Sixties -- I remember.

  • Danm straight! I don't think the flower children should be so proud of their drug use.....they damaged their brains....they are all grown up now and are mostly screw ups...I was raised by a lazy hippie...not pleasant....I thank God for a local couple that adopted me.

  • please!!!! whats this song?! i love it!!!

  • I freaking love hippies !!!!!!!!!!!!! They were and r awesome :] screw u all if u think hippies r not cool

  • i love hippies to brother!!!

  • being hippie was only an excuse to drug and to have sex freely...

  • Fuck hippes they can suck my dick

  • looks like a homeless people reunion

  • That was a time of rebellon in America, And every kind of immoral, And hellish act was carried out. This came about partley because

    The music of that day, And other things as well. Those people, Other like that is in many

    Ways is part of the problem today. People need to repent of this stuff.

  • exactly what i was thinking

  • so woodstock was like a big stoner concert or what

  • god i'm 20 and if i could choose to have been born 35 years ago i would. the culture is amazing... the flower child... free spirit... I envy those who experienced this. music and pop culture right now are so very commercial... it's sickening.

  • If you were born 35 yrs ago, you'd still miss WS. Hhahahah I think you meant, 35 years prior, but you'd be 15, still kinda young.

  • lol all they did was get high lol free spirit my ass

  • hippies rule

  • The Song = Band - Black Swan Lane

    Song = Cool Motherfucker

  • i tried looking that up but theres nothing on it!

  • thats a lot of hippies

  • All those young hearths are over 50 years old today,maybe they have forgotten their ideals but this video shows us how to make an idea true

  • We haven't forgotten our ideals, brother.We have just had to learn to survive in the real world because we have jobs and families.Carry the torch for us, guys.Make our dream come true.

  • Seriously, the song

  • Who ever posted this video should let everyone know what the song is.

  • i'm like

  • That would have been something wonderful to be there!!!!

  • What song is this? It's bad ass.

  • nsideimscreaming too bad you missed! Free sex (the lost count kind), drugs, and rock n roll, not in any particular order. We ended a WAR asswipe! dont take anything out of context about my hippy years! Protests, Conventions, fighting the Pigs been there done that. Come on, really, there are some good by products? like ROCK N ROLL still alive & well. Tie Dye T's. 40th generation, one toke over the line sweet jesus REFER . hahaaaaaahaaaaa... PLH. screw u nsideimscreaming u freakin' JR.Nixon!

  • you didn't end shit; the government moves on it's own time

  • Still in Viet Namm?

    The voting age is what now 18 was 21

    Schools are integrated.

    Abortion legalized.

    Ended the draft

    Enacted the largest civil rights reform since the civil war.

    Now you go and do something positive for your generation then you can talk about it.

  • You hippies didnt do any of that, the government did, in which the people voted, Hippies didnt vote, therefore you didnt help shit. Stop trying to give yourself the extra credit you don't deserve. All of that would of happened sooner or later, with or without hippies.

  • I think you fail to realize how the government works read the constitution. The first sentence is where the government begins and ends. It starts

    "We the people"

    We the people make the government what it is. the governent is here to serve the people. When the people demand change the government complies. The people demanded change.

  • Stop trying to give yourself credit you don't deserve.

  • yeahh i think goths are the new hippies though they are MUCH MUCH more darker but protest and see the way things are not through therye eyes but really how things relly are,

    wood stock better repeat and i hope its on my liofe time best performances how many people went there we are going to break its record by half the difference

  • Are you 12? Did you intend to sound like a bumbling r-tard.

  • woodstock generation 2.0 starts now!

  • its nobody fault what happened to the new generation its goverment manuever and strong media blank propoganda to the peace movement.

  • Don't really understand the big deal with Woodstock. There were other big concerts that year. This was the one were everyone got stuck in a traffic jam.

  • The "big deal" is that Woodstock was the largest group of people ever assembled for a rock festival. It was way more than a traffic jam. There were legendary performances by many people such as Jimi, Janis (who both dies less than 2 years later), CSNY, and many other who were important artists at the time and today. Maybe you should watch the movie again.

  • Hey, don't forget Sha na na.

  • You picked the worst band at WoodStock.

  • What are you talking about? Sha nan na were the only band there that embodied the true spirit of rock & roll!

  • i just wanna know the singer/ band/ name of the song somebody help me out

  • Comment removed

  • soooooo what is the name of the song? regardless of weather it fits or not

  • no one could ever stand together for any cause like that again, the hippies forgot to teach their children well, now the country is filled with kids who don't even know the constitution. Good job all you hippie moms & dads!!! congrats, look at the bi-products of your revolution.

  • ass hole comments on this vid. Whats with the shitty music to it? And whats with the ass hole below me & his aids comment? Ignorant mo fos.

  • Dude there was no HIV until the 1980s.

  • good people of youtube:

    i like this song. even if you say it has nothing to do with the vid. and hippies are fine by me.

    now before you start sending shitty comments about how woodstock was for shitheads and that hippies should go to hell answer me this, pleassssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:

    what is the name of this song?

  • woodstock wasn't just about weed.

    you forgot music.

  • vietnam was a bullshit war

  • yeah and a liberal democrat got us into it and a republican got us out

  • I always knew Vietnam was the war with the best soundtrack.

  • what's the real name of this song? please? :)

  • will someone just give us the song name?

  • i no u want my ass but u cant have it u freaking queer. Y would u even say that
