Woodstock 1969, The Home Movie - Part II

Forty years ago this August, Tom, Bob, and Paul (that's me) set off for the Woodstock Music Festival. Yup -- the original, one-and-only, Woodstock. In honor of the 40th anniversary, I'm uploading (in small, easy to digest pieces) the original home movies that Bob and I made at Woodstock. Bob, historian that he is, has been curator and archivist of these films for the intervening four decades. Amazing! Converted from their original Super 8mm format, they have no sound, the quality sucks, and the many format transitions over the years have taken their toll. Don't worry about it. This is history.

Hope you don't mind me asking, but what was your favorite performance (out of the whole festival)?

[peacerant]

That's really hard to say, of course, but I'd pick The Who, followed closely by Ten Years After.

AMAZING THANKS FOR SHARING

If there were a show of this size now, the corporate sponsor logos, banners, VIP sections, Hooters tent, AT&T tent, Verizon tent, Bank of America tent, etc, etc, would be as far as the eye could see, it's refreshing to see an event like this stripped down to just about the event, the people and the bands, as only it could be in '69.
