I graduated from high school in 1968 . Starting the hippie era . Wonderful music - like this . Long hair , hippie clothes enc. bell bottoms - loved them . Relaxed , and fun times . Lots of new , special music , and bands! Remember it all well !
I graduated in the Netherlands 1969..being 19 years old . the most fantastic year of my life ..still living for the music of those decades... we know it all isnt it ..I think that one time in eternity!
And your "counter culture" clothing became a culture of its own.. hypocritical.. a guy in a suite, with a nice haircut and didn't smoke weed was against YOUR rules..
I bet you still shine with spirit and beauty. Good for you. I always said I was born 10 years too late (in 63)! What a period it was. Of course it wasn't all love and peace but this event remains so iconic.
I’m with you but I’m only 45 but I’ve always felt like I should have been born 25 years earlier so I could have lived through such an iconic era with great music and people striving for peace ✌️
I'm with you. Just moved to Tucson and discovered that marijuana products are legal and sold over the counter. I'm 72, retired and having a great time!
David Crosby was an atheist. He said repeatedly that he does not believe in God . On Twitter, he often criticized religion . He is not at rest. He is tormented now.
Not a care in the world . Everyone came together for a almost a week of Music and fun . No violence or shootings or cellphones . Only a few port a potties for all those people but oh well that looked like a very awesome place and time .
i am 67 and i fell that our generation had the best music ever hear !! very lucky! i listen now at this music and i still have enormous emotion! Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, CSNY, Simon and Garfunkel, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Byrds, Leonard Cohen, the Who, Joan Baez, Janis Joplin, jefferson Airplane.... and sorry if I forgot someone,....maybe only Kurt Cobain gave me the same emotion!
@@greatmindsthinkalike1378 ...People had done that long before that. And this music came from blues, classical and rock and roll. Without that this music would not have existed either. And today neoliberalism fucks us and hardly anyone defends itself. It all turned out bad! No crying helps either!
Three nuns at the festival walking by smiling... the last one flashes a smile and a 2 fingered peace sign. Brings a tear. Times that will never be repeated.
I lived through this era… LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT… STILL TODAY THE BEST OF MUSIC EVER… CSN&Y the best.. Sion & Garfunkel… Sly & The Family Stone… Eagles, Peter Cetera, Chicago!!! On and on…❤
@@terrymoorefield5918 We ALL do Terry. At least I hope I am speaking for the many of us in that time frame. I still remember one of my coworkers trying to get me to go to Woodstock (working in Syracuse at the time.) I declined because I had just bought my first new car at 17 years of age and had to make payments on it. I missed one of the greatest opportunities of anyone's lifetime!! Damn!!
@@myrnajay2785 The 60s and 70s were simpler times,I'm touching 70 now and dearly miss those times.I sincerely believe those years were better than now and I have such good memories of those days.
It's not too late to bring back peace 🕊️ and love❣️ We need it more than ever now. We're the ones who are supposed to show this generation all the beautiful ways we were taught 🌺🌈❣️🕊️
At a time when this country was divided by the Vietnam war at Woodstock we all enjoyed peace love and rock ‘n’ roll… May the memories of Woodstock live on!!!
I was born in July 30th 1969 my mother was 16 my dad was 19 only if they knew how awesome this era was I watch all the videos I love every song from the 1960s to the 70s 80s and of course when I was a teenager in the 80s but oh my goodness these are awesome songs my mother was a teenager she was only 16 Woodstock came out she had just given birth me and July 30th 1969 my dad was 19 like I said I just want to watch these I miss him so much because they both passed from cancer before they were 60
Digg your thinking man! I was born 14 years after woodstock in a different time. My dad was 18 in '69 but the music and the mindset of that time is so powerful you can still feel it today! You guys generation had something to say and it stick untill today. It may be 50 years ago but still actual today. You guys started something and we carry it on
I'm 71 n in Aug 1969 I was in the military if I wasn't I would have been there Love this song n in Nov 1969 I saw Janis Joplin In Phil great show lots of memories
So thankful that people took the time and effort to photograph all of this - no camera phones and no go-pros but great documentation of what went into this piece of history!
We can all learn from the lessons of peace and love from the Woodstock generation. I love the part of the video where the nun gives the peace sign. Great song! Great time and place. No social media or texting. If you wanted to communicate with someone you spoke to them in person or on the landline. RIP David Crosby, a profound and colorful human being and excellent musician.
Thats kind of a boomer put down on Millennials im a genXer so I grew up with just a land line and tv. That being said with out RUclips the access to this great song wouldn't be almost free
Glen, you remember the '60s way different than I do....and Woodstork was unmitigated disaster.....and most hippies were not so loving more akin to today's homeless....Vietnam war,political unrest,riots and violent protests....sexual revolution😂....sounds more akin to current affairs than our selective memory wants to admit....not to mention all the union violence.... I struggle with much I see in the world today, a path that left unchecked will destroy this nation and many others...but youth today were raised by our generation and Gen X, so where is our culpability in this, hmmm?
@@Just_another_Euro_dude Agreed. My mother gave piano lesson's for 41 years (she used the John Schaum books). My sister play's the piano for (I cannot say in a public chat). She is weird but goodness, can she play. Sadly as we all get older, we realize, not to focus on just one group, but many. Differing styles/types of music.
I was born in '69 to a mother who had the long braids hanging below her rear, patches on her jeans, raising me on ALL the woodstock music... WHAT CULTURE!!! 👍🏻 And I can remember as a little girl, the Woodstock song blasting through our stereo system, and vibrating our trailer walls! It's no WONDER the music speaks to me😄 Well, besides the fact the artists are PURE GENIUS 🎊
thanks buddy---i popped out in 66, but my parents weren't very 60's at all--mom was a little more, and at least used to drive me to some of my band gigs in the early 80s, but they were generally very 50's and dad wasn't anti-establishment at all, and has never liked much other than bag pipes,so your pretty lucky there. it's rather amazing my bro and me were as anti-establishment as we are.
Funny...I was the same. I was born in '62. My mom was not musical at all and my dad was into the old twangy country music. But I remember in my early teens my brother got me into the Beatles. And from there I got into all the 60's music. And still love it!!! Nothing today can even come close to it. This past May (2022) finally got to make the pilgrimage to Woodstock to see the Who!! Peace and Love to all the hippies still out there!!
Mitchell is a good song writer. That's mostly all it takes. When you have great lyrics you can make unlimited good covers. There is blues and folk songs people have been covering for 100 years because the lyrics and melody were just so good. This song's success says more about Mitchell than it does Stills.
Serious question, How did so much amazing music come from this era? was it a rebellion to everything due to the vietnam war or just a strange time in history!? Seriously, young people today are amazed by this era .. raw talented musicians and non-computerised music!
I've been asking myself the same question. Back then you had to be really good to sell your albums to the public and get put on the radio. Today's climate is different perhaps? I'm not sure what it is about today that makes the music not as good.
Youth from that Era could have only dreamed of the 2010s, our version of the 60s minutes the music. The last decade had everything a 60s revolutionary could want, world's music library at fingertips, legal weed, no vietnam. The music came from the struggles sure, but the pre covid generation would not have been as free as they were without the 60s middle finger to the 50s
It was a time of rapid change and all of the resulting societal upheaval that came with that change. We still had people alive that were born in a world without electricity, or cars or running water.. much less hot running water. Or mattresses or refrigerators or washing machines or private bedrooms or... Technology was just beginning it’s rapid progression. As a society we were still innocent. Still just human beings. Skinny healthy ones too! Uncorrupted.. also uninterrupted by advertising and market/tech driven pop culture. There was one phone at home that the whole family used, which was sufficient given the only people that wanted to talk on the phone were largely just teenage girls. No internet.. no computers! Lucky if your house had a color tv! But tv wasn’t important because we still had nature. Clear clean lakes and rivers with the sweetest water and full of fish, frogs and crawdads, lined with thick lush greenery. Floating docks and rope swings there for all to enjoy. And public pools and skating rinks and sports in the streets! Traffic was only a thing that happened in big cities. The population explosion is a big piece of the picture. In 1970 we were 203 million Americans, a huge jump from 181 million in 1960 152 million in 1950, less than half of today’s population and the rough birthdate of someone who was at Woodstock to see CSNY play. As a country we were still young and this country was still full of life and astounding natural beauty, wide open spaces and seemingly infinite opportunity.
I recently visited Paris and I came back marveling at Montmartre and the Mouling Rooge. After that drive to Brussels, Strasbourg, Lucerne and Geneva in Switzerland. And I went back to Paris.
Neil's "4 dead at Ohio" was history...watched a documentary that interviewed the young girl standing beside the girl lying dead on the road ( famous Time photo) when she went home her dad greeted her at door & said she shlda been shot too for standing against America...what a sickness & it continues today with all the GB America bull sh..
You are one of a kind that still think like a peaceful lovely girl long live those beautiful times I salute you Baby you are from my beautiful generation 60s 70s little 80s
WOW I was only just born in 1970 but I really appreciate my parents exposure to this entire era of music. This generation is almost gone but never forgotten. Thank you David Crosby.
Thank God I had the incredible luck to live in those times. The world will never be that psychedelic, fun and free again. When I watch clips and hear music from the ''hippy era'' it hurts my heart to think its gone forever.
David Elliott. The world was freer then?! They drafted men to go to war then! Now women and men can choose to fight or not. Now we have pot more legalized! I heard on the news last nite talk about psychedelic drugs getting legalized soon! I feel now is much more free than then in ways. But not in other ways! Crazy!
@@andyrock6481 The last hippy goes extinct and elderly rappers say how special now was when they carried their cell phones everywhere, never spoke to each other except on the internet and all the other great things that are so wonderful now. And the beat goes on...
I was 13 when the movie came out. I couldn't see it because I was too young. I was SO jealous of my older sisters. They said people were dancing in the aisles at the movie theater. I remember when the CSN&Y version of Woodstock was playing on the radio. I would be walking down the street with a little AM radio playing it and I thought the youth/hippy culture was so cool and ascendant and going places. You would look at somebody with long hair like you and just know you had something in common. When I finally saw the movie in 1976 at a rerun theater kind of place, I was just mesmerized, especially by Sly, Ten Years After, Santana, The Who and Hendrix. You could have knocked me over with a feather.
Look people , look how awesome life was before now . You might find some people and friends like this at slab city today . RIP David we are gonna miss ya
I was just a kid in high school in western Nebraska when we heard of a huge concert with our favorite bands performing.. We convinced one of our friends to take a group of us in his beat up VW van to Woodstock even though we didn’t have any money or even know for sure where Woodstock was. But we were too young and stupid and just thought we’d figure things out as we hit the road. So we skipped out of school, made up stories of spending weekend with friends for are parents and headed east. We didn’t make it 20 miles when the van broke down and crushed our Woodstock plans. Still love their music.
Amen, brother. That's for damned sure. I like their music, but it is too damned bad that these libs didn't understand the importance of that then and now.
I was born in the wrong era, i have the heart and soul of a true hippie... It truly breaks my heart that I missed one of the greatest moments in history! Woodstock was a one time only thing. It will never and CAN NEVER be recreated!
I so feel your pain. I too was born too late. But I am a true Hippie and have been all my life. The 60s and 70s should go down as the generation that started moving this Country forward thinking. I missed Woodstock too. You are so right that it can NEVER be recreated. We have lost too many artists. 🥲
Same I've always said and truly felt that I was born in a wrong Era I was born 1977 my mom was too young to go to Woodstock but her sister was 18 and she went she said it was a true life experience and she was grateful to experience it she said it was a once in a life time deal that the vibe the love it was everywhere so majestic! I can't even imagine but to see videos of Woodstock it always perceive such peace and joy I can feel it sò deeply!!
When I die, I will ask my lord if I can go to Woodstock right away. That will be my first trip in the after world. I will be driving my 1968 GTO all the way there!
Right on! I'll be there too! The three most beautiful days of the century took place there. The stars were aligned and it all fell into place. ...got to get ourselves back to the garden.
I,m 58 and was 6 years old when this came out, but I love this type of music. I wish today's musicians would come up with something just as great, but not many have.
Lovely to see kids at Woodstock parents bringing children how happy n content everyone seemed just to be there .. no phones no police no red tape .. a free time we have undoubtedly lost !
Brilliant version of a Joni Mitchell classic. "We are stardust. We are golden." I hope your trip back to the garden is golden David. Godspeed. Thanks for blessing the soundtrack of my life.
Joni could have made it to Woodstock, but settled for seeing it on the TV a few miles away instead of trying to find a helicopter ride over the crowd. Morale of the story: don't miss your moment, as it may not come again
@@j-5087 She had her first national television program on Monday after Woodstock. It was the Dick Cavett show. They were concerned that she might miss the show if she went to Woodstock so they decided to miss Woodstock thus ensuring her appearance on the Cavett show.
@bizkitgto The future is bleaker now than it has been since WWII or maybe ever. What can we do to save the planet and ourselves from the Republican`s fascist party? My son is a , millennial and my grandson is generation Z and I feel their pain and am pissed with them for damn good reasons!
Solo Stasera ho trovato Questo Video la musica , I Tempo , Unici avrei voluto Fermare il Tempo ,Grazie xLa Musica emozioni immense che ci Avete Dato ❤️❤️❤️Ivana
These are the first batch of boomers 1946-1964, me being born in 64 I'm at the tail end of the boomers I was 5 year's old back in 69 and I remember when my father drove us up to my grandparents house in Massachusetts from Maryland we were heading up the Jersey Turnpike and they were people literally hitchhiking on the Turnpike heading up to Woodstock back in August 69 I remember that! , and yes we had the best music 🎶 🎵 ✌🏻🤘🏻
46 years young, and I'm loving CSNY.... Steve Stills voice has an allure that's indescribably unique. A timeless throwback to simpler times, long before I was born in June '73. ........With the current divide in this country, we need this now, more than ever.
From 1964---1976 I Remember Were My Hippies Days..Had My Long Hair,Get High,And Have Funs,And Love Everyone.. Hey Life Short.Look Like Yersday I Was 17..Now I M 63Years Olds..That Were My Best Days..Of My Life..
My mother was one of the original hippies and she was at Woodstock I'm now in my forties and would give anything to go to the original Woodstock as I inherited her hippie nature, hippie soul, and hippie fashion sense.
I’m 19 im happy to be apart of my generation even though my generation definitely has our flaws, but I would do anything to have been at Woodstock. These are almost all of the bands that I’ve loved all of my life, thanks to my parents, and I cannot imagine what it must’ve been like to see them all live all at once
Highly recommend everyone visit the museum and site in bethel ny. I cried multiple times. I’m a 33 year old smoke shop owner. I know without hippies my store wouldn’t exist. Love my culture. Forever counter culture. Peace love and more peace!
An absolutely amazing but amazing time in my life and apparently in the lives of thousands of other folks as well!!!! Never ever to be forgotten Woodstock!!!!!! God bless and peace to all.
Yeah I read about that. But I heard they just didnt realize it was going to be such a big event! I remember robby krieger talking about how he regretted missing it. Cant remember exactly though...
who's still here in 2024
me
We are all still here.
Except for those of us who could not make it.
Bless the Boomer generation for such great music.
Thank you.
I had my 63rd birthday just 3 days ago. I didn't get to go to Woodstock,but I do know that the best music came out of the 60s.

How Stephen Stills ‘morphed’ Joni Mitchell’s song into this epic piece is just magic.
yes, very keen visions by both artists.
i love her version as well
it's electrified
Drugs probably, lol.
I love when versions of songs are so different they become their own thing.
Cheers to them for feeding my ears.

As my Dad used to say" We lived in the best of times"..I agree with him about 'ours'. It was..'The best of times'...Long live Woodstock..
Except for the profound 'backdrop" of the war in Viet Nam. Tumult creates great art from true artists.
Thier harmony is matchless, & I really like the energy Graham Nash brings to what they do

I've been asking myself the same question. Back then you had to be really good to sell your albums to the public and get put on the radio. Today's climate is different perhaps? I'm not sure what it is about today that makes the music not as good.
Real Music!!!
Youth from that Era could have only dreamed of the 2010s, our version of the 60s minutes the music. The last decade had everything a 60s revolutionary could want, world's music library at fingertips, legal weed, no vietnam. The music came from the struggles sure, but the pre covid generation would not have been as free as they were without the 60s middle finger to the 50s
It was a time of rapid change and all of the resulting societal upheaval that came with that change.
We still had people alive that were born in a world without electricity, or cars or running water.. much less hot running water. Or mattresses or refrigerators or washing machines or private bedrooms or...
Technology was just beginning it’s rapid progression. As a society we were still innocent. Still just human beings. Skinny healthy ones too!
Uncorrupted.. also uninterrupted by advertising and market/tech driven pop culture. There was one phone at home that the whole family used, which was sufficient given the only people that wanted to talk on the phone were largely just teenage girls.
No internet.. no computers!
Lucky if your house had a color tv!
But tv wasn’t important because we still had nature. Clear clean lakes and rivers with the sweetest water and full of fish, frogs and crawdads, lined with thick lush greenery. Floating docks and rope swings there for all to enjoy. And public pools and skating rinks and sports in the streets!
Traffic was only a thing that happened in big cities.
The population explosion is a big piece of the picture. In 1970 we were 203 million Americans, a huge jump from
181 million in 1960
152 million in 1950,
less than half of today’s population and the rough birthdate of someone who was at Woodstock to see CSNY play.
As a country we were still young and this country was still full of life and astounding natural beauty,
wide open spaces and seemingly infinite opportunity.
God sent some spiritual people with this art called music. I'm from 60s and 70.was an amazing time.
for us young teenagers in France , Woodstock was such an inspiration ! It made us part of the worldwide society change.
righteous
I recently visited Paris and I came back marveling at Montmartre and the Mouling Rooge. After that drive to Brussels, Strasbourg, Lucerne and Geneva in Switzerland. And I went back to Paris.
✌️❤
Fight the system with baguette and croissant...
Same in the Netherlands ..What an era! No idea at the time where we would go to.
"By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong..."
Neil's "4 dead at Ohio" was history...watched a documentary that interviewed the young girl standing beside the girl lying dead on the road ( famous Time photo) when she went home her dad greeted her at door & said she shlda been shot too for standing against America...what a sickness & it continues today with all the GB America bull sh..
that part gives me chills :) In a GOOD way
Probably an understatement
It definitely was a crazier time. I am so glad that I got to grow up in the 60's & 70's, the greatest generation of all time !!! 👍🏻
You are one of a kind that still think like a peaceful lovely girl long live those beautiful times I salute you Baby you are from my beautiful generation 60s 70s little 80s
WOW I was only just born in 1970 but I really appreciate my parents exposure to this entire era of music. This generation is almost gone but never forgotten. Thank you David Crosby.
Thank you Mitchell and Stills!!
Woodstock,was the greatest thing that ever happened.It was Love,Drugs,Freedom and Utopia.
I remember those days.❤️❤️❤️❤️.
The harmony has been silenced but not forgotten
53 years on, wish I had been alive and present for such an important piece of history!
Playing this song in 2011 as a young man pumped for the decade ahead, man what a ride. RIP Crosby
Omg love this song & time in life wow! 1969 I was 4 yrs old 🌹🌞🌟🌞🌹
Woodstock...never forget..Best of all.. now I'm 70 years...this feeling...it will never comes back..
Awesome performance from one of the greatest folk, rock, blues, etc etc ..bands of ALL TIME. They did Jonis masterpiece justice. 🤘😎🎸✌️❤
The best music video on RUclips.
Thank God I had the incredible luck to live in those times. The world will never be that psychedelic, fun and free again. When I watch clips and hear music from the ''hippy era'' it hurts my heart to think its gone forever.
David Elliott what do you remember of the summer of love?
David Elliott. The world was freer then?! They drafted men to go to war then! Now women and men can choose to fight or not.
Now we have pot more legalized! I heard on the news last nite talk about psychedelic drugs getting legalized soon! I feel now is much more free than then in ways. But not in other ways! Crazy!
Gone forever and getting further away maybe it'll make it in the news when the last 101 year old 60's hippie dies
@@andyrock6481 The last hippy goes extinct and elderly rappers say how special now was when they carried their cell phones everywhere, never spoke to each other except on the internet and all the other great things that are so wonderful now. And the beat goes on...
Your heart and soul are still there, and here, believe in what you felt then, and still feel, peace and love my brother, you are not alone
I was 13 when the movie came out. I couldn't see it because I was too young. I was SO jealous of my older sisters.
They said people were dancing in the aisles at the movie theater. I remember when the CSN&Y version of Woodstock was playing on the radio. I would be walking down the street with a little AM radio playing it and I thought the youth/hippy culture was so cool and ascendant and going places. You would look at somebody with long hair like you and just know you had something in common. When I finally saw the movie in 1976 at a rerun theater kind of place, I was just mesmerized, especially by Sly, Ten Years After, Santana, The Who and Hendrix. You could have knocked me over with a feather.
13 as well..
Thankyou David for your heartouching 🎶 music .. free now 🙌 to fly 🌊
May it be a safe travel. Rest In Peace David Crosby! ☮✌
This musical high school that I’m going to next year is putting on a Woodstock filled with 60s music
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
UK group Mathews Southern Comforts version is by far the best 🎶🎶🎵🎵🙏🙏👍👍👍👍...NO.1..
Look people , look how awesome life was before now . You might find some people and friends like this at slab city today . RIP David we are gonna miss ya
Happy 50th Woodstock! We are still golden no matter what!
I was just a kid in high school in western Nebraska when we heard of a huge concert with our favorite bands performing.. We convinced one of our friends to take a group of us in his beat up VW van to Woodstock even though we didn’t have any money or even know for sure where Woodstock was. But we were too young and stupid and just thought we’d figure things out as we hit the road. So we skipped out of school, made up stories of spending weekend with friends for are parents and headed east. We didn’t make it 20 miles when the van broke down and crushed our Woodstock plans. Still love their music.
Bummer on the van..but y'all did it, even if you didn't make it, you did it! That's the spirit of Woodstock, man😎✌
Broken bow
That harmony at the end just gives me goosebumps. Beautiful work guys. Thank you.
Such a different time everyone smoked weed & so they were all calm & happy! Lets go back!
We can go back just no weed please!!!
Never stopped smokin ' weed and never left! 😎✌❤️🎶
Was a very different world back then................I miss it!
More ''Made in America''
Amen, brother. That's for damned sure. I like their music, but it is too damned bad that these libs didn't understand the importance of that then and now.
The dim time. We're getting old
@@franticfreak3648 Naw! It was Made in Japan!! Junky terrible toys! LOL!
@@henrystowe6217 LOL! Back then lib was In!
Absolutely Magnificent Masterpiece from the greatest musical decade of all time, great music & great memories of life
And the same shit still going on.
Mathews Southern Comforts version is by far the best🙏👍👍
I'm 40 and i love this song.
My high school years were '67-'71...the BEST 4 years in Rock History.
I was born in the wrong era, i have the heart and soul of a true hippie... It truly breaks my heart that I missed one of the greatest moments in history! Woodstock was a one time only thing. It will never and CAN NEVER be recreated!
I so feel your pain. I too was born too late. But I am a true Hippie and have been all my life. The 60s and 70s should go down as the generation that started moving this Country forward thinking. I missed Woodstock too. You are so right that it can NEVER be recreated. We have lost too many artists. 🥲
it seems that many time travelers were (and will be) present at this festival
Same I've always said and truly felt that I was born in a wrong Era I was born 1977 my mom was too young to go to Woodstock but her sister was 18 and she went she said it was a true life experience and she was grateful to experience it she said it was a once in a life time deal that the vibe the love it was everywhere so majestic! I can't even imagine but to see videos of Woodstock it always perceive such peace and joy I can feel it sò deeply!!
@@christophealbertchannel Music I think is the closest thing we have to time travel, so I guess we are all at woodstock today
When I die, I will ask my lord if I can go to Woodstock right away. That will be my first trip in the after world. I will be driving my 1968 GTO all the way there!
yeah try that but when the time has come to year 2052 u wont get there even with
a laser blasterXD
vtha sangkulh: LOOL
I'll be behind you in my van man. We can share some food, a smile, and some wine and jam out to some fine music.
Right on! I'll be there too! The three most beautiful days of the century took place there. The stars were aligned and it all fell into place. ...got to get ourselves back to the garden.
It will be granted especially to see Jimi Hendrix's performance!
I,m 58 and was 6 years old when this came out, but I love this type of music. I wish today's musicians would come up with something just as great, but not many have.
RIP David....Thank you!
Lovely to see kids at Woodstock parents bringing children how happy n content everyone seemed just to be there .. no phones no police no red tape .. a free time we have undoubtedly lost !
Hello Carol, How are you doing?
Brilliant version of a Joni Mitchell classic. "We are stardust. We are golden." I hope your trip back to the garden is golden David. Godspeed. Thanks for blessing the soundtrack of my life.
Joni could have made it to Woodstock, but settled for seeing it on the TV a few miles away instead of trying to find a helicopter ride over the crowd. Morale of the story: don't miss your moment, as it may not come again
@@j-5087 She had her first national television program on Monday after Woodstock. It was the Dick Cavett show. They were concerned that she might miss the show if she went to Woodstock so they decided to miss Woodstock thus ensuring her appearance on the Cavett show.
@@roberthamlin6638 she definitely wouldn't have made it out in time for Monday lol
O Piango e mi Emoziono Da 50 ,Meravigliosi Anni A vostraVoce musica arriva diritta al Cuore , Grazie ❤️❤️❤️Ivana
Had to come here to listen to this song cause they took it off Spotify lmao. What a time to be alive
no care in the world... drunkenness living with the flowers.. free as a bird... loved it
im seventy now and stuck in the sixties but thats all right!
yes me too
Yeah baby!
Back to stardust when this earthly ride is over :-)
@bizkitgto The future is bleaker now than it has been since WWII or maybe ever. What can we do to save the planet and ourselves from the Republican`s fascist party? My son is a , millennial and my grandson is generation Z and I feel their pain and am pissed with them for damn good reasons!
bizkitgto I don’t know man, I don’t know. That’s my generation and 95% of us get it so wrong... in fact this new generation don’t get anything
Solo Stasera ho trovato Questo Video la musica , I Tempo , Unici avrei voluto Fermare il Tempo ,Grazie xLa Musica emozioni immense che ci Avete Dato ❤️❤️❤️Ivana
These are the first batch of boomers 1946-1964, me being born in 64 I'm at the tail end of the boomers I was 5 year's old back in 69 and I remember when my father drove us up to my grandparents house in Massachusetts from Maryland we were heading up the Jersey Turnpike and they were people literally hitchhiking on the Turnpike heading up to Woodstock back in August 69 I remember that! , and yes we had the best music 🎶 🎵 ✌🏻🤘🏻
46 years young, and I'm loving CSNY.... Steve Stills voice has an allure that's indescribably unique. A timeless throwback to simpler times, long before I was born in June '73. ........With the current divide in this country, we need this now, more than ever.
From 1964---1976 I Remember Were My Hippies Days..Had My Long Hair,Get High,And Have Funs,And Love Everyone.. Hey Life Short.Look Like Yersday I Was 17..Now I M 63Years Olds..That Were My Best Days..Of My Life..
We need another one right now!
My mother was one of the original hippies and she was at Woodstock I'm now in my forties and would give anything to go to the original Woodstock as I inherited her hippie nature, hippie soul, and hippie fashion sense.
I’m 19 im happy to be apart of my generation even though my generation definitely has our flaws, but I would do anything to have been at Woodstock. These are almost all of the bands that I’ve loved all of my life, thanks to my parents, and I cannot imagine what it must’ve been like to see them all live all at once
I grew up in the 1970s but was too young to know how awesome it was
That means you were more of an 1980s kid . PAC MAN Generation 1. @@dogfriendly1623
Avrei voluto vivere quei tempi..quell'energia, quelle speranze, quelle good vibrations..
Highly recommend everyone visit the museum and site in bethel ny. I cried multiple times. I’m a 33 year old smoke shop owner. I know without hippies my store wouldn’t exist. Love my culture. Forever counter culture. Peace love and more peace!
The nun giving the peace sign was one of the most memorable events at Woodstock.
Sister Susanne Bunn. God bless her!
An absolutely amazing but amazing time in my life and apparently in the lives of thousands of other folks as well!!!! Never ever to be forgotten Woodstock!!!!!! God bless and peace to all.
The world then stopped and paused for this musical event.
✌️ ❤️ 💟 ☮️
The colour on this film is beautiful.
If I had been at Woodstock I would be 52 years younger than I am now. I would like both of those situations.
"1969" what a year in American History.
I wasn’t born yet when Woodstock took place but the concert looks like a good time ..
I'm also a yougster of 67, but when I listen to CSN & Y, I feel like time's not gone by at all...
My kids have been brought up on their
Sol beleza juventude esperança, todas nos abandonaram. Essa canção nos leva de volta ao sonho da perfeição. RIP DAVID
A simply better time. Breaks my heart. Truly.
You know The Doors were suppose to attend Woodstock. They were revoked when Morrison had the Miami incident.
Yeah I read about that. But I heard they just didnt realize it was going to be such a big event! I remember robby krieger talking about how he regretted missing it. Cant remember exactly though...
Amen to that!
yes
totally! i miss it too.
