It's hard to believe any claim on youtube . . .but if you were there I'm jealous, p.s. do you remember who was on stage at the time they announced it was a free concert? It's a tough question I know, but only those who were there would know.
Wow. You earned everything youve experienced. What a life! Consider donating your tickets to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Museum, or perhaps auction them off for a good cause, like Prevention of Child Abuse - of course, when and if you want to.
Mine wouldn't let me go either, and I was 13 going on 14. I was angry, but got over it. Who knows what could have happened, and my life wouldn't be as good as it is now.
I would have loved to have went to Woodstock. I was 12 years old at the time and living in East TN. My parents would not take me. But to this day I collect everything I possibly can on Woodstock. Everything from vinyl records, CDs, Box sets, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, posters, pictures, shirts, coffee mugs, etc.

it can absolutely happen. This event wasn't exactly Legal back then either. heck, They had more Legal resistance then than now. and THAT's the reason you are unlikely to see it in your lifetime, there are no big movements, everybody has their bit of counter culture, that there isn't really one Idea for the masses to crowd behind.
I was there the weekend after. Got to see the mud and what was left of the stage. At 12 years old, I didn't fully appreciate it, but I have a vivid memory of Woodstock.
+whostolemyTV Experienced Woodstock? YES! The 60'S in general? Maybe, but would you have coped? It was a time when the youth was in rebellion, because they got sent off to wars WITHOUT CHOICE because of national conscription. From the US, Australia, New Zealand, France, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and regular army guys from many other countries like the UK, France, etc. Yet, the 60's was also mainly the time of the Beatles, with "Give peace a chance!". And early in the 70's with the Arches' "A Summer Prayer For Peace". Jimmy (Hendrix) was also an army dropout. So was Elvis. We all had buddies dying next to us on the battlefields, but I prefer to remember only the music and the spirit, but NEVER EVER the times again! Nothing to be nostalgic about, when it concerns the time.
I was 14 in 1969 and not really aware of a whole lot. Just started getting seriously into music and discovered the movie and was instantly hooked. To this day I am obsessed with everything Woodstock. I was sad when the 50th anniversary concert didn't happen. No.1 on my bucket list is to do the pilgrimage to Bethel NY and stand on hallowed ground.
Yea, I was 15 . my buddy and I discussed hitching there from Chicago, but just never did . oh well, the movie was an awesome experience, with people passing joints up and down the aisle . a once in a lifetime thing.
Crazy how even people like me who were born nearly 30 years after Woodstock took place still seem fascinated by it. Proves that some things really do never get old.
Woodstock 1969 - I was there... Some of my buddies and I decided the night before and we just went. I got there just in time to see the tall chain link fence go down...! I soon took a job selling hot dogs at a concession... all the food was gone in one hour. I made a small pay check for that. I saw a friend from my home town, Steven Tallerico who you will know as Steven Tyler of Aerosmith fame... He was in a very bad condition, if you know what I mean. The crowd continued to swell. I ran into a previous girlfriend and her sister who put me up in their tent. I stayed two or three days on then bummed a ride back to Westchester. I noticed a professional photographer on the stage take a shot in my direction just before I left and when the TIME Magazine special came out in December spotted my distant image although without enough facial details to convince anyone but myself.
1956safari stands for 1956 Pontiac Safari an extremely rare 2-door stationwagon. Built on the same scale as the 1955,56,and 57 Chevrolet Nomad wagon. Google the 1956 Safari.............I had a big antique car collection. I was 19 years old in 1969.
You did a good job with this. I did a documentary on Woodstock when I was in High School, some odd 20 + years ago. It is a topic that never goes out of style! xo
when anyone covers it, and I mean ANYONE, it sounds redundant. they 'play' it, when Jimi let it flow out thru his feedback, w/ the pick being almost unnecessary. in fact, I don't think Jimi did another version as good as that one.
I was 15 years old and in Australia but saw the movie next year. It changed my life forever and opened a whole new world for me. Still can remember every aspect of the movie.
I had a few friends that were there. my friend Billy, still has the ticket stubs, framed in his living room. he said he would never sell them, can't blame him. he's going to pass them down to his son.
@Hank Bridges Of course, I've watched family and people close to me struggle with drugs my whole life. I can't see my self in that position. I smoke weed, hopefully grandmas watching over smoking with me.
@Hank Bridges I'd rather smoke pot, than cancer sticks... Marijuana doesn't have the same stigma it had back in the day. Sure I could save money, but does it change the fact that at one point in my life nothing will matter anymore? Not at all. Also don't plan on smoking everyday for the rest of my life. But it is nice to enjoy a nice joint or bong rip once in a while.. Have a good one man.
***** That line off reasoning is highly speculative and full of flaws though. .I highly doubt most of the patrons to an event like this would one day find themselves in politics.

Imagine how it felt as a performer. to be flown in on a helicopter, seeing all the backed up cars and huge crowd . Being on stage and seeing people as far as the eye can see… while signing your music. That’s fukn wild
What a fantastic look back at an incredible time in history. I really appreciated it and you did a really great job researching the concert and the times when the concert took place. Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey U S A!
I was on my way when our van broke down in eastern Ohio...hitchhiked , but didn't make it til it was over Monday AM , we heard Jimi hendrexs na 'national anthem ' Wow
it was an awesome experience one I will never forget. We proved to the world that all people can live in peace and harmony! Different ages, backgrounds, culrures, and races.....................we were as brothers and sisters in sheer peace with no fights nor problems!
but when everyone went home they continued being deceived by the mega-rich cult that's running the world and is presently enforcing mask wearing to bring us further into the tyranny of their agenda.
but it's not really true because America was screwed from day one by the Founding Fathers---they new it would end up like it is now. capitalism obviously doesn't work.
I too wish that i was there at the 3 day Woodstock festival. That was in 1969..i was born in 1979..10 years later. I still feel that i was a part of the festival too because it took place in the year of 69 and in the month of August which is also the month i was born. It would make me 50 years old today if i was born in the year 69..but instead I'll be 40..only ten years younger. Some how i just had to learn more about the 69 and Woodstock.. I feel that I'm close neighbors to this awesome decade and the crazy historic fun of Woodstock. Rock on people.. let the old times live once again! Man i really wish i could've experienced that massive fest! Why are the old times the best times. Now times SUCK!
Got to say it with a smile on my face... I was there! Got there Friday night and caught some music from at least a mile away where we had to park. Stayed until it was over on Sunday.
Feel like organising something like this in India at Polladpur India . Let's Re Live Life . Same Concept . 250 acre up and down . But wild. I'm sure it can be done.
@@tonyguillen3224 well Kolkata has the worlds largest bookfair with 2 million attending. Religious fair Kumbh Mela has 50 million attendees. None of these are men only, though men heavy. Thats a big cultural range. So pretty sure would be same for anything.
3 days that made an impact in all of mankind's history ! I think no other event, past, present or future can do such ! Music is the rule of the day or any other day !!!! Woodstock is the statement and those who were there are the luckiest !!!!!! Me, I can only hope if I'll ever witness anything as close .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of good music came out of Woodstock. I was only 12 when Woodstock happened. One of my older sisters wanted to go, but my Dad said no she couldn't go. So she ended up staying home.
I was 8 years old when Woodstock was going on but I knew the music I loved it then and still love. Its cool that they all got together and listened to music and did whatever everyone seemed to get along and were happy good old days✌
My friend was at the festival. I was not. On our way years later to the west coast together; my friend brought me to the field where the concert was held. I could only imagine what it must have been like. The next big festival was to be held in Shediac New Brunswick. The Premier got cold feet and cancellled the festival. My DJ friend saw how disappointed I ws and suggested I do something about it. I said I would. It was about 1:00 in the afternoon when he toldme do something. At midnight that night I was on the national news. I managed to pull off in just a few short hours a huge protest. Thousands of people showed up, and It went on for days; and spread to other cities. Unfortunatley I we were not sucessful and the Strawberry Fields Festival happened in Ontario. Awwww the 60's what a time.
but many of the people that were at Woodstock 69 are the same people who bought the lies of the American so-called Gov. they are a cult that is beyond belief rich and don't care about us except to control. society needs to stop blaming other objectives than individual attitudes.
That is the biggest crock of sh*t I've ever heard. To call 100,000 youths that went to a 3 day rock concert cultists is just plain stupid. You should educate yourself on the event b4 you judge and you just might learn a thing or two.😉✌
Very interesting young ladies, well done. You did show far more interest in the purely financial aspects of the concert than anyone thought to at the time.
I wished I could have experienced Woodstock 69 I have done extensive research on this I don't know somehow I feel kind of connected to I wasn't even born whenI don't know whether it's because I love the kind of music that was played therebut it seems like a event that I would have loved either way I know it sounds strange but I feel somewhat connected and since August 15th of 2020 is a 50th anniversary more than ever videos like this and others to preserve the history of Woodstock 69 peace and love ☮️☮️
Hello Devon,Your video showed a lot of heart and soul. It conveyed the spirit of the teenybopper baby boomers of the period and their quest for a better society and social advancement through music and peace. Good job.
+Richard H. What happened to them all? Now they are nasty Liberals controlling all of us through Poliically Correct Behavior! Now , all of us have to suffer because of these selfish baby boomers!
We lived about one hour from Bethel, our daughter was 2yrs old we went on Sunday morning got there about 7/30 ,some rain but not much,I can still see and hear Grace Slick she was great ,we will never forget that Sunday!
My papaw was at Woodstock he said after the first song played this chick walked up said here drink this you’ll enjoy yourself and he said he woke up 3 days later everyone was gone and it took him 2 more days to find his car he said he don’t know who played or anything
My sis was there. The 70’s was the greatest time for rock and roll. I saw everyone including Queen, Zeppelin, The Who, Credence, J Giles, The Stones, Marshall Tucker Band, ELO, Neil Young, and so on. And no drugs... go figure.
I seriously wanted to go to Woodstock so bad but I was only 10 1/2 and lived in California. Yeah, people my age were hippies too! It was a revolution back in '69 and everyone knew it.
Devon- good research ! I was there, and it was something fantastic. Next time, take more time telling us about it...don't talk as fast. I enjoyed listening
I was only 6yrs old when this happened and every since I saw the movie I have loved the idea of being a part of that. Everyone says I am a flower child and I guess I am. I'm mellow and wear flowers in my hair. I don't like things that interrupt my daydreams of past years that will never be again. To all you who think like me, peace and love to you all.
I just returned from Viet Nam back then. It was just about impossible to get there. But although that I no longer have the long hair, the movement still lives in me today.
I was about to say something similar. HK flu killed millions and we didn't have the kind of mass hysteria we see today in 2020. We've become brainwashed weaklings.
@@drewharrison1840 You're right Dtew. The HK and Asian flu pandemics were far worse and not comparable at all. Have you seen this? acu2020.org/english-versions/
@@paulwyns3502 The 1968 flu outbreak was associated with comparatively few deaths worldwide (about 100,000 in the United States with half the deaths among individuals younger than 65 years). People who had been exposed to the 1957 virus retained immune protection against the 1968 virus, this would explain the mildness of the 1968 outbreak. There was no social media in 1968 and most people were not aware of the severity of the outbreak.
In 71, I accidentally, didn't realize the dose, took two 11 way hits of windowpane, could not see my face in 15 minutes and clearly saw people talking and chasing me who did not exist in 30 minutes. I had taken acid, mushrooms,mda, etc.before but this got away with me quickly and I ended up taking some friends thorzene to come down. No big deal but , even as an experienced "head" for the times, very scary.I could have easily been hurt.
it’s so sad that we can’t have these fun things anymore without having shootings or fights ruining all of the opportunities for many to have fun and live life to the fullest.
I was there tonight....O.A.R.!!! Terrific performance. BTW: Few people here in Bethel were opposed to it. I was here then and I've been back now for several years.
Jimmy Lester I went through there a month ago...was 18 in ‘69.lived about 2 hrs away...but did not go...a beautiful serene place now...can’t imagine what it must have been like around the time of the festival...50 years ago next August...where did the years go?
I wasn't at Woodstock. But I was definitely paying attention with WTF wonderment at it all. You did a very nice job in seven minutes describing what one million people did for three days over 40 years ago, "... it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness..."
from the time when i was young. time never forgotten, never to be relived, always remembered. till we to are the past, hoping to be remembered by the future.
Woodstock 1969.. everyone enjoying, mosh pit, purely fun, rock and roll🤘 Woodstock 2019. Standing like a log, holding phones, records the concert, taking selfies and phone dies, goes home, reviews concert and deletes video.

Woodstock is the statement and those who were there are the luckiest !!!!!! Me, I can only hope if I'll ever witness anything as close .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of good music came out of Woodstock. I was only 12 when Woodstock happened. One of my older sisters wanted to go, but my Dad said no she couldn't go. So she ended up staying home.
You did a great job young lady!
I was 8 years old when Woodstock was going on but I knew the music I loved it then and still love. Its cool that they all got together and listened to music and did whatever everyone seemed to get along and were happy good old days✌
My friend was at the festival. I was not. On our way years later to the west coast together; my friend brought me to the field where the concert was held. I could only imagine what it must have been like. The next big festival was to be held in Shediac New Brunswick. The Premier got cold feet and cancellled the festival. My DJ friend saw how disappointed I ws and suggested I do something about it. I said I would. It was about 1:00 in the afternoon when he toldme do something. At midnight that night I was on the national news. I managed to pull off in just a few short hours a huge protest. Thousands of people showed up, and It went on for days; and spread to other cities. Unfortunatley I we were not sucessful and the Strawberry Fields Festival happened in Ontario. Awwww the 60's what a time.
How was the acid back then?
+Fèlix just the best...very strong
*****
Bet it was man.
Keep on rockin'
P
Everyone came in peace that’s what was sooo beautiful about it
Nice job Devon. You've inspired me to go back and watch the movie.
I was only 10 years old. And a lot of people still listen to a lot of Woodstock today "2022" Great Music.
I miss the 60's and 70's so much !
but many of the people that were at Woodstock 69 are the same people who bought the lies of the American so-called Gov. they are a cult that is beyond belief rich and don't care about us except to control. society needs to stop blaming other objectives than individual attitudes.
That is the biggest crock of sh*t I've ever heard. To call 100,000 youths
that went to a 3 day rock concert cultists is just plain stupid. You should educate yourself on the event b4 you judge and you just might learn a thing or two.😉✌
I am desperate to visit Bethel just to look out over the field, close my eyes and drift away. Whether I ever get there is another story.
Wonderful documentary! Thank you so much! :D
On August 15th 1969 I entered the army at Fort Jackson SC...That was my Woodstock!!!
About as fair an assessment of the event as I have seen, good job!
Very interesting young ladies, well done. You did show far more interest in the purely financial aspects of the concert than anyone thought to at the time.
Devon you did a great job. I just wish I had been old enough to have been there....
I wished I could have experienced Woodstock 69 I have done extensive research on this I don't know somehow I feel kind of connected to I wasn't even born whenI don't know whether it's because I love the kind of music that was played therebut it seems like a event that I would have loved either way I know it sounds strange but I feel somewhat connected and since August 15th of 2020 is a 50th anniversary more than ever videos like this and others to preserve the history of Woodstock 69 peace and love ☮️☮️
I'M VERY PROUD TO REPRESENT THE WOODSTOCK GENERATION !!!!!!
Hello Devon,Your video showed a lot of heart and soul. It conveyed the spirit of the teenybopper baby boomers of the period and their quest for a better society and social advancement through music and peace. Good job.
+Richard H. What happened to them all? Now they are nasty Liberals controlling all of us through Poliically Correct Behavior! Now , all of us have to suffer because of these selfish baby boomers!
some are. But do we need to allow this controlling ilk to affect us?
We lived about one hour from Bethel, our daughter was 2yrs old we went on Sunday morning got there about 7/30 ,some rain but not much,I can still see and hear Grace Slick she was great ,we will never forget that Sunday!
Your list is missing Bert Sommer who played on Friday August 15th right after Richie Havens
I was there with my friend Steve.Went back last year and still get excited just thinking about it.Nicejob kidddo
Imagine all the time travellers that attended this event. Hopfully I was/will be one of them
My papaw was at Woodstock he said after the first song played this chick walked up said here drink this you’ll enjoy yourself and he said he woke up 3 days later everyone was gone and it took him 2 more days to find his car he said he don’t know who played or anything
Haha 😳
Sounds like he took the brown acid the announcer kept warning everyone about
There will never be such a time as this again .. once in a lifetime event.. Oh to have been there right?! Xo
My sis was there. The 70’s was the greatest time for rock and roll. I saw everyone including Queen, Zeppelin, The Who, Credence, J Giles, The Stones, Marshall Tucker Band, ELO, Neil Young, and so on. And no drugs... go figure.
2 people died over the 3 days of Woodstock, 1 OD the other ran over by a tractor
True fact
Currently there is a thing known as "alternative facts".its a common phenomenon used by the current Presidency.
Hey Max like the guy who owned the farm !
You have to admit, out of 500,000 people, two deaths, considering both 60s drug use and 60s safety precautions, is pretty phenomenal
That is surprising Moscow 1991 monsters of rock had 56 deaths
I seriously wanted to go to Woodstock so bad but I was only 10 1/2 and lived in California. Yeah, people my age were hippies too! It was a revolution back in '69 and everyone knew it.
Devon- good research ! I was there, and it was something fantastic. Next time, take more time telling us about it...don't talk as fast. I enjoyed listening
Kris Bowman man. U are lucky as hell. Hippies are cool. I'm from florida and I can't seem to find any cool hippie hangout spots
at 3:16 my aerial from a helicopter was used without crediting my copyright. however, all in all the project is well done.
who remembers Woodstock? now it's 2019. moody blues and Santana my favorite
I was only 6yrs old when this happened and every since I saw the movie I have loved the idea of being a part of that. Everyone says I am a flower child and I guess I am. I'm mellow and wear flowers in my hair. I don't like things that interrupt my daydreams of past years that will never be again. To all you who think like me, peace and love to you all.
Fuck your a cringe lord
This make me want to turn hippie
I just returned from Viet Nam back then. It was just about impossible to get there. But although that I no longer have the long hair, the movement still lives in me today.
Good to hear, keep the faith and thanks for your service.
This was during the 1969 Hong Kong Flu pandemic. I love their sense of social distancing. PEACE
I was about to say something similar. HK flu killed millions and we didn't have the kind of mass hysteria we see today in 2020. We've become brainwashed weaklings.
The two are hardly comparable. Come on dude.
@@drewharrison1840 You're right Dtew. The HK and Asian flu pandemics were far worse and not comparable at all. Have you seen this? acu2020.org/english-versions/
@@drewharrison1840 You are right. The wussies nowadays would be shitting their pants in fear. Propagandized zombies.
@@paulwyns3502 The 1968 flu outbreak was associated with comparatively few deaths worldwide (about 100,000 in the United States with half the deaths among individuals younger than 65 years). People who had been exposed to the 1957 virus retained immune protection against the 1968 virus, this would explain the mildness of the 1968 outbreak. There was no social media in 1968 and most people were not aware of the severity of the outbreak.
If I was born in the 50s and was old enough for woodstock, I'll do everything in my power to enjoy these 3 days.
I didn't know Jim's dad from American Pie hosted Woodstock.
Eugene Levy is a fantastic comedic actor, appearing in tons of great films.
Eugene Levy actually played Max Yasgur in the 2007 film "Taking Woodstock"
Yes well this one time in band Camp......
A good friend of mine was there. I was only 9 at the time but I do remember all the music then and after.
I turned 4 years old 4 days later. I was too young to drive.
In 71, I accidentally, didn't realize the dose, took two 11 way hits of windowpane, could not see my face in 15 minutes and clearly saw people talking and chasing me who did not exist in 30 minutes. I had taken acid, mushrooms,mda, etc.before but this got away with me quickly and I ended up taking some friends thorzene to come down. No big deal but , even as an experienced "head" for the times, very scary.I could have easily been hurt.
this was so a school project that someone got a ton of views on😂😂
Woodstock Agust 18h 1969 ,Me hubise gustado mucho celebrar mi cumple,disfrutando mi dia en ese festival y su magia
Three days condensed to under 10 minutes - but why feature a song from 1971 (Baba O'Reily by The Who) ?
it’s so sad that we can’t have these fun things anymore without having shootings or fights ruining all of the opportunities for many to have fun and live life to the fullest.
So true
They were smoking more than weed there
LSD man!!
Hmm, they smoked LSD? Think they smoked a lot of grammar, lol ;)
Dose not matter they managed to fool you just like a sneak thief
They av more money than we do
Just hand it over we got a whole piles of interns that can pick this shit up
I was there tonight....O.A.R.!!! Terrific performance. BTW: Few people here in Bethel were opposed to it. I was here then and I've been back now for several years.
Jimmy Lester I went through there a month ago...was 18 in ‘69.lived about 2 hrs away...but did not go...a beautiful serene place now...can’t imagine what it must have been like around the time of the festival...50 years ago next August...where did the years go?
5:14 "to our animal friends don't eat them"
love that!
The top of the sign was cut off. I have the same picture in a book. The sign said "Love your animal friends- Don't eat them".
It actually says, Make America Great Again !!
Gretel Rojas hippies r so nice :-)
@@203207ab No!
That is my personal favorite picture!💖
I wasn't at Woodstock. But I was definitely paying attention with WTF wonderment at it all. You did a very nice job in seven minutes describing what one million people did for three days over 40 years ago, "... it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness..."
This is so cool. Coodles to you for making this video😊 You did an amazing job, especially for being so young
I was born in 1957. I was too young for WS but we took a trip up there after the concert. We saw some hippies. 😀
you're happy guy
i wish so badly that i was there
You’re over 1k subs. Hope you’re monetized! Great documentary!! 🌼
Happy, Joyous , and Free
Slow down and breathe for crying out loud. It's not a word race. Thanks for posting.
+MrRp25 it was a school project and it had to be 7 min tops.
what did you use to make this video? I have a project on this too. sos
from the time when i was young. time never forgotten, never to be relived, always remembered. till we to are the past, hoping to be remembered by the future.
Woodstock 1969.. everyone enjoying, mosh pit, purely fun, rock and roll🤘
Woodstock 2019. Standing like a log, holding phones, records the concert, taking selfies and phone dies, goes home, reviews concert and deletes video.
