SCOTT McKENZIE - SAN FRANCISCO / WOODSTOCK

Woodstock 15.-17. August 1969


Das Woodstock Music and Art Festival war ein Musikfestival, das als musikalischer Höhepunkt der US-amerikanischen Hippiebewegung gilt. Es fand offiziell vom 15. bis 17. August 1969 statt, endete jedoch erst am Morgen des 18. August. Der Veranstaltungsort war eine Farm in Bethel im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat New York.

Auf dem Festival traten 32 Bands und Solisten der Musikrichtungen Folk, Rock, Soul und Blues für insgesamt rund 200.000 US-Dollar Gage auf. Auf dem Festivalgelände herrschten chaotische Zustände, da die erwarteten Besucherzahlen um ein Vielfaches übertroffen wurden.

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
If you're going to San Francisco
you're gonna meet some gentle people there.

For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a "love-in" there.

In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair.

All across the nation - such a strange vibration

People in motion
There's a whole generation - With a new explanation - people in motion - people in motion.

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a "love-in" there


If you come to San Francisco
summertime will be a "love-in" there.

Scott McKenzie did not appear at Woodstock. He appeared at the Monterey International Pop Festival, in June, 1967. "If You're Going to San Francisco" was the theme song for this festival, the first of its kind anywhere.

questa canzone mi ricorda degli anni che io non ho mai potuto vivere, ma che sento come se lo avessi fatto. ho 16 anni, ma la mia mente e le mie ideologie fanno parte degli anni 60...

e piango perchè darei la mia vita per un solo giorno a woodstock. Un giorno in quella gioventù con un senso. Un giorno per fare musica con senso.

Love it.

@giblet1967 The posters below are right, it's an early iteration of Iron Butterfly. But although they were scheduled to play at Woodstock they did not.

@giblet1967 At 2:11 is a picture of some later iteration of Country Joe and The Fish. That's Country Joe McDonald seated and Barry Melton standing, both original members. I don't recognize the other guys in the picture. At 1:26 is a band that doesn't seem to be on the lineup for any of the days. Perhaps x21x12x2012 can say.
