Missed Swami Satchidananda!

Wow Zeppelin and Moody Blues turned it down. They were my favorite 70's groups.

Great 55 minutes of Jimi doing his thing. Great. Thanks

Yogini

Great Topic. What beautiful memories. Over the years we've lost so many creative voices. Our generation spoke out with such passion. Now there is silence.

"The times they are a changing" ?????

To me a global alternative is: [and let me be the first to say I'm way too old to be so naive] a world without suffering, poverty, hunger and war. The festival became emblematic of a tumultous decade where assasinations and hope created a climate for change. (I am now retreating to my ivory tower-i.e. last transmission). P.S. me? I was not hippy, maybe hip-college degree, host of daily TV show, happily married, teacher, got high on yoga pranayama.

You can come to Bonneroo in Manchester, TN every July if you want to relive the hippie music festival scene. It's supposedly a close re-enactment of Woodstock. Naked campers gettig high to music, or so I'm told.
I'm not a Woodstock or Bonneroo Hippie!

Boy has that ship sailed!!!

And that season is 40 years long gone for this guy;)

My husband went to Woodstock - we recently purchased the book at Barnes & Noble.

I love hearing his stories.

I wish I could join you, but we are still part-timers. My family had a summer home in country club estates in White Lake, just a few miles from Max Yasgur's farm. While my younger brother was able to be at the concert, I was lucky enough to be in Viet Nam at the time. However, when I watch the movie, friends are amazed (and really probably don't believe me) when I can identify the "townies" that appear. What a year 1969 was!!!

RichieLion..I was ahead of you by 1 year. Took basic at Ft. Jackson in 68 and was in Nam for Woodstock. I was up on tank hill by drag ass hill. D-3-1. Good as the best...better than the rest.....yeah Delta!!
Welcome home brother

Basic training in 69. Vietnam 70-71.

Welcome Home

New Haven Music Lover, Too!

My most indelible memory of the weekend was walking up that road and hearing Richie Havens playing "Freedom" to open the show. Got to the Main gate to find all the fences were down...no tickets needed.

We had plenty of food, plenty of water and a great tent set up in the field so never felt in jeopardy.

I ended this great weekend by leaving Sunday morning, got home and cleaned up and caught the 1st Giants / Jets pre-season football game ever held at Yale Bowl.

Great music, great weekend!!!

I left New Haven around 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon. I was supposed to be going to Saybrook to spend the weekend with a boyfriend, but once I drove down to the "Green", I got waylaid and convinced I should drive a carload of kids to Woodstock. :jester:

I didn't have tickets, I didn't have food... and it didn't matter. I had a wonderful time. It was the time of my life ... (what I remember of the weekend, that is.) :confused:

I, too, had to leave early on Sunday becase I had tickets for Led Zeppelin at Wallingford's theatre in the round. My mother threw a minor fit because I just came home, took a quick shower and ran out the door again. :swear:

I'm no worse for the wear. I'll never forget Woodstock OR Watkins Glen the following year... and I bought tickets for that! :shrug:

Gracie, the jack of all trades, is now becoming a matchmaker.Sorry, not related to kyblue, but there were a few years in the late 60's that were a little fuzzy.

:confused::wine::confused:

Better aging hippies who believed in peace than aging Tea Partyiers who believes in guns, and causing strife between races & political parties!

LOL
Are Liberals welcome in TV? I am reading all sorts of comments that this might not be the best place for those of us who have a more liberal bend of mind!
