Ed, you were SO fortunate to be at this event, and we are all fortunate that you were kind enough to film it for those of us who couldn't be there. The videography was really super -- you can always do this for a side gig! I love Arlo more than I can say, for a multitude of reasons. To be in the presence of Woody's son and grandson -- even only a video presence -- was making me teary-eyed. To hear the songs written by father and son, as well as Bob Dylan, makes me so happy! Thank you so much, Ed!
Thank you so much for posting this! I drove 130 miles, only to arrive at the stage literally ten seconds before the end of Arlo's last song. Extremely disappointed and frustrated, I was hoping that someone would post his entire set, and you did it! Thanks again, and God bless...
@@Cweskos1 "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry." But at least I made it in time to see the screening of the documentary "Woodstock" later that same night! It was supposed to be shown on a fifty-foot screen set up on the historic field where the original festival took place, but rain was imminent (just like at the original), so they moved us into the concert pavilion (about 800 feet from the historic field) to watch it, so we stayed dry. Arlo's set was also supposed to be performed on the historic field, but because of the coming rain they moved him onto a covered stage next to the museum* (about 700 feet from the historic field). But first he performed just one song on that field, in order to fulfill a promise. And I was there the next day, to tour the museum and attend the concerts by Blood, Sweat and Tears (who, like Arlo, had performed at the original event), Edgar Winter (who had also performed at the original), and Ringo Starr (whose keyboard player had performed with Santana at the original)! *Yes, we old hippies are now museum artifacts!
@@dabigisland1 If it were possible, I would gladly trade you my having attended the 25th and 50th anniversary reunions at Yasgur's Farm for your having attended the original! (I am green, both environmentally and with envy.) In these very strange times in which we now live, more and more people are getting increasingly nasty, and it is extremely depressing. But whenever I reunite with my fellow citizens of Woodstock Nation, I get a sorely needed respite from all that. You folks never change, and I love all of you very much!
I was in Bethel for the 50th anniversary. But I couldn't get the tickets to see Arlo or the 50th anniversary screening. But I did get so see Ringo & the All-Starr Band, Blood, Sweat, & Tears, The Edgar Winter Group, the Doobie Brothers, and Santana

Far out! Much respect for Arlo doing a free show 50 years to the day.

Michael Walsh Then it was worth it!
Michael Walsh You were There I wasn’t. But I made it the first time. If I was smart I wouldn’t have let 5000 miles get in the way.

I was the opposite. I was only there for the one day, so you might have me beat. At least now you can see the Arlo's full set that day!
@@EdCali1 I was also told that Melanie Safka was there. Did you get to see her as well?

It was in some draft state, so I could see it, but you couldn't. Thanks for both of yours persistence. Try again and let me know.
You're right, try again. It was in some funky draft state.
Is that Carol King?
Carol Ide of Arlo's former band Shenandoah
Turn down the band, turn up Arlo's mic.
