I wanted to, but my parents wouldn't let me! (Yes I am serious!)
I was only 16.

I was 22 years old, just out of computer programming training at a Bell System company and on a project where we worked 80 hours a week for June thru Aug. 1969.

A couple of us needed a weekend off, much to the chagrin of our manager.
We actually bought tickets…..and left New Haven on Friday afternoon.

Found a back way into Max’s farm and parked in a farmer’s field. Walking up the road, Richie Havens started playing “Freedom.” Got to the gate and the fences were knocked down..so much for tickets.

Lot’s of great music; we brought plenty food so all was right with the world.

The kicker was that I combined my love of music that weekend with my love of sports…….
got up early Sunday morning and drove back to New haven, showered and went to the Yale Bowl for the first ever Giants -Jets pre-season game that was held there starting 1969!

What a weekend! I’m going to celebrate by coming down to The Villages this week!!!

I was somewhere in the Middle East on a six month cruise aboard the destroyer USS Power DD839 after joining the Navy in Feb, 1968.

Wouldn't it be great if the villages radio station did the same? There are so many of the boomers here...and growing daily. We need to have a change...including the town square music. There has to be talent out there.

rshoffer - actually had the chance to go to both Woodstocks (in 1969 when I was 17+) and then again in 1994 a the 25 yr anniversary event with my 2 twin sons and some friends... Joe Cocker was at both, while in '69 I lived for the Who (still do!) while in '94 the son's had to see Green Day (and a mud fight)... ps- Ten Years After 'Going Home' led by super guitarist Alvin Lee!)...

Thanks Champion6, what a flashback to think of those songs. You cannot hear some of them without thinking "Woodstock".

We were in Cleveland and planned to drive all night on the Friday to get there but then heard that the New York Thruway was shut down and decided that we did not want the hassle. Bad decision.

I lived near Woodstock/Bethel and drove to see the action. It was not a fun thing to do..Hard to park, wet and thousands of people. You had to be into it. Up until 2 years ago we still lived (had Summer home) very near Woodstock and entertained ourselves on many weekends by driving into town, having some "Jane Ice Cream" and watching the old hippies sit in the town square, some with their dogs, playing a guitar or just hanging out. There are the small number of young adults who are trying to capture some of the hippie culture and look like something out of the 60's. On Sunday at around noon they get back on the NYC bus to make the trip back to the city. What is interesting is that it has the only flea market I know of where all sorts of drug products, (e.g. pipes, etc.) can be bought. Booths are set up like the ones in the Squares. The Village is still quaint and caters to a lot of NYC people who either come up for the weekend or have summer homes just outside the villages in the mountains. It is a strange mixture of the NYC well to do's doing some shopping or eating at the resturants while in the square is this mix of young and older hippies.

Hey Champion....great work!

Is there any way you can clip and paste to the villages radio station as a reference that they can play this type of music for we "boomers...large and growing" in the Villages???

Is the Millstream motel still around?

CJ, my original message obviously states that this will be broadcast on SIRIUS and XM. It occurred to me that you might be able to listen on your television because many cable and satellite providers offer music channels from SIRIUS or XM.

Bigguy..I don't recall seeing it the last time we were up there. We were last there a year or so ago. If it is I missed it?

We would go there 7am for eggs and pancakes, after one of those all nighters. Back then there was maybe only handful of places to eat.

The last time I was at the Daytona Beach Flea market one guy had a booth selling bongs and pipes. That was two years ago and I don't know if Florida law has changed. You will get busted here in Ohio for having one in your possession even if it had never been used.

Back in the 60's the thing to have was the Florida "Arrive Stoned" plate on your car. Those would be a collectors item today.

There still were not a number of places to ead. There is a bakery (good one) on main street + an open resturant and also another little resturant just around the corner going north on main street. THere are a couple out of town withint 5-8 miles which are very good. There are a couple more in town.

Your right Champion...can hear it on TV. I was thinking bigger and hoping that we we are at the pools, walking in the town we can hear these songs. The fifties and early sixty's are most of what they (and restauranters) play.

Ahhh, late sixty's and 70's music would be appreciated.

I actually had tickets, but my mother had me picked up by the State Troopers hitch hiking on the NYS thruway. I spent the defining moment of my generation grounded. (I also was only 16)
