Woodstock 50th Celebrations ?
Forums:
As it looks right now I wont be hearing any live music this week. Just doing the usual, playing the shit out of all the Woodstock sets avail and maybe watching the directors cut if I'm forced inside by weather. Can't bring myself to return to the site, the thing they now call bethel woods, since they put that fucking thing up, ruining the magic of that spot forever. And the farm too, I will miss them tremendously. They were ultra special for a long time. Many a great reunion were had year after year with Melanie + Country Joe always showing up to play at the farm, leslie west and havens too. Besides the hippies, other local farmers would show up and relive their stories of the 69 fest. Great stuff. All gone now. Long Time Gone

Forget his little speach to
Forget his little speach to the throngs, " I'm a farmer "
Check out Max Yasgur's comments to the town council about putting the thing on. I used to think Michael Lang and the performers were the ultimate, but after further review reading about how close it came to not happening at all, that ol farmin' bastard wins my vote as the coolest sumbitch involved in the coolest event ever --
God Bless Ya Max

I posted this in another thread a while back, concerts at the site.
These folks have commemorative concerts on the 16th, 17th, and 18th. Not listed on their event page is a show by Arlo but no tickets left. It may have been a small event and members probably scooped up the tix. This is the place with the Woodstock museum. https://www.bethelwoodscenter.org/

Arlo also used to show up at the farm. If you never went to any of the reunions there 1970 thru the early 2000's (when the concert site was still pristine), its a damm shame. After Max passed even the new owners allowed the yearly gatherings at the farm. Let you camp on the property, they set up outdoor showers, brought in port'olets and fresh water for the pilgrims. I met people from all over the world there who came just to be on that land for a few days in their life. Now after bethel woods, not so much, in fact not at all. So sad. All Things Must Pass

Off topic here but Bill Walton has been currently in the White Sox broadcast booth for their game at the Anaheim Angels tonight for the last few innings. A new paradigm for baseball broadcasting has been established.
Carry on with "Woodstock as it happened"...

This is pretty damn great,
This is pretty damn great, playing the entire event, including all the jabber and dither, all through the original times.
I've been listening on & off since the GD started; has anyone else noticed the on-going "Sit down! Stand Up!" chanting from the crowd going on in the background?
Who knew the Woodstock generation were meat-in-seaters.
And damn, Janis is just killing it. What a shame she passed right when she got a better band. She was just scratching the surface of what she could have become.
Sigh.

Kudos to WXPN! I streamed the entire Woodstock fest from 5:07 Thursday through Hendrix and the closing remarks. I missed a few acts, though, but my stream kept going even as I slept some.
Very very cool historical experience.
One of the things I did not know was/is how bitter John Fogerty is toward the Grateful Dead. He's a pretty rude and jealous crybaby, imo.

He was OK with them backing him up in '91. Seems he got over it.
He can still bring it. But I'm easily distracted by that ridiculous hair dye
