I was only 12 at the time of Woodstock, but my family was moving further upstate in New York while the festival was going on.

I remember the traffic that was going to the concert and the cars jamming the streets.

It was nothing but cars, people and music.

I wish I was old enough to go.

All the reunions don't seem like Woodstock. They all didn't allow drugs or alcohol, which was why people enjoyed woodstock

I just think everyone needs to experience something like woodstock at least once..Its not about drugs, or anarchy ect...Its about personal revelation.... I know it doesnt seem like it but ive had the most valuable religious and personal revelations in the middle of 30,000 people tents every direction and the one mind open and flowing. I DDONT CARE IF YOUR 5 or 85 IF ANY OF THIS MUSIC GIVES YOU CHILLS YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO XPERIENCE THIS AND GROW

Just got done watching this....Does the end make anyone else freaking cry every time? LOL when their talking about how it wasnt a movement it was a moment out of time....Cuz thats how I view Allgood...I know I started going 8 yrs ago to trip and stuff but as the years go on I kept going back for the amazing people, the mood, and the freedom... Ive been to a great many festivals that have just been ruined by bad people(with well under 15,000 ppl) but every Allgood theirs been 30,000+ No fights
