Anyone Remember the Music of Woodstock?
 

Of course, you do! The Who, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Sly and the Family Stone, Joe Cocker, Santana, Jefferson Airplane and others. Then you won't want to miss the Peace of Woodstock on February 12th at the Savannah Center. Shows at 4pm and 7pm. Tickets only $43. Go back on their musical journey through the 3-day festival of peace, love, and fun. Tickets at any Box office location online or at Peace of Woodstock - The Villages Entertainment.

These figures were verified by Snopes & I used to know Lenny Baker who was with Sha Na Na and he told me they got paid $700.

Carlos Santana, Joe Cocker & the Grateful Dead were steals, especially since Joe Cocker! Richie Havens & Tim Hardin did well.

Quite an assembly of talent.

Neil Young wasn't at Woodstock... So much for Snopes "verifications"...

so sorry but he did play ,he joined Crosby ,Stills And Nash as the 4th player on stage

Lenny often played his own gig at the Red Fox in Rockland; believe he lived in Whitman at the time.

Did Neil Young play at Woodstock 1969?
The initial lineup consisted of only Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and the band needed more personnel in order to tour, as Steven Stills was responsible for most of the instrumentals. The trio finally settled with Neil Young. Their second concert together was none other than Woodstock 1969.

That's rough on the Grateful Dead, 7 band members (not to mention crew) around $350 each & they were far from home. Once they paid their expenses I wonder if they had anything left over?

No. He came along for their 2nd album. Well after Woodstock...

Again Young played at Woodstock is was his second gig , he refused to be filmed because he thought all the bands we’re playing to the cameras and not to the crowd Whatever that means ,it was probably dope getting best of him he’s always told a story about how wiring a stolen pickup , don’t know whether that is true

Neil Young came on stage. He and Stephen Stills played two songs as a duo: "Mr. Soul" and "I'm Wonderin'." They were announced as The Buffalo Springfield, their former band.

I was seven years old the summer of Woodstock, so before my time.

Sorry Woodstock can't be duplicated

My buddy and I dove all night on Friday to get there Saturday morning. We couldn’t get within 5 miles of the stage. We weren’t the only ones with that problem. Cars were lined on both sides of the dirt road for miles. We could have walked but the rain and mud was awful. People were partying everywhere. I still say I went to Woodstock, but.

Lenny went to Whitman-Hanson HS and was always around the Boston clubs in the 70's. I used to run into him on the Vineyard occasionally, when he retired there. He was a character and a great guy.

He was in the movie Grease.

Me and three of my friends were there; awesome muddy time.

Interesting. Since every piece of film I've ever seen did not include him...

Apparently, he refused permission to be filmed at the concert... I never knew that! (and I'm a HUGE Neil Young fan!)

The reason why Neil Young refused to be filmed at Woodstock

If it makes us feel a little better, $1.00 in 1969 is equal to about $8.38 in 2023.
$700 = $5866 today.

Neil was there !
 

He was introduced by Graham Nash before they performed Sea of Madness

Great era in my life
 

So I was 14 when "it" took place. What a show it must have been. But would not have been interested in all the mud and stuff.
Anyway after the show my best friend and I were in Ocean city MD for a week with our families.
We would walk the boardwalk and if any chicks, oops young ladies, talked with us we would tell them we had just gotten back from woodstock. It really helped open up conversation.
Anyway again hello anyone ever see alvin lee playing Im Going Home. He introduced the song as this ones called Im going home by helicopter. Best live song I have ever not seen in person.

Didn’t make it to Woodstock, but 3 days before on Aug 12, I saw Jefferson Airplane, BB King and the Who perform at Tanglewood in the Berkshires.

The start of "The Tavistock Effect" research the Tavistock Institute not from google

One of my biggest regrets in life, is not going to Woodstock. I had friends who were going, and wanted me to come. I said, "Where is it again?" They told me and I said, "That's in the middle of nowhere, no one is going to show up!" I've never been so wrong.... LOL I would have loved being there, rain, mud... all of it.

There's also a Woodstock concert at Whispering Oak Winery at 5 pm Wed Dec 6. We're going, but I don't remember who's performing.

I was 3 years old! Lol!!!!

It appears from advetisment photo will be the same group that will be performing in The Villages

I was only 13 at the time, going into 9th grade that year. I knew about it because I grew up in Orange County and lived a little over an hour southwest of Woodstock.

California Jam
 

Missed Woodstock, but was at California Jam. I would have to say it gave Woodstock a run for it's money. It was much better executed and set what were then records for the loudest amplification system ever installed, the highest paid attendance, and highest gross in history. I was several hundred yards from the stage perched atop the curved top raceway fence for over 12 hours...
