I was born in 83' .. I wish I was alive during Woodstock! It looks amazing! Like so fun and free and probably full of the best music ever made.. Janis is one of my favorites! Mannnn.. What a time to be alive.
I'm from 96 and I'm so sad i couldn't be there
Don't feel too bad because I was eleven and I wasn't old enough to go. I guess my older siblings should have gone and taken me but we couldn't afford to see elvis for ten bucks.
I'm glad I stayed a Hippie my whole life .. peace 🌹
👍❤
Bless you.
I am a late Hippie. I was 13 when this happened. But it was the blueprint for my ilfe. However we had a really hard time in the 70s keeping up the spirit of peace and love. Everybody said that beeing a Hippie was "out" which I refused to believe till today. Beeing kind and postitive is always "in".

This all brings up many feelings and memories! I almost went to Woodstock. Instead drove too Florida in rain to register for 1st year of college. But! I made up for not being there. Started playing guitar and played in some great bands in Boston. Then became a photographer. Been published many times including 5 music magazines. And have two books. Even photos in the Smithsonian from 9/11. So I took that Woodstock spirit and used it in my life. Finally made it to the 50th at Bethel Woods and Yasgurs Farm taking photos. Then my Mom passed away the next week. I guess i went full circle. Even got to meet Michael Lang at Yasgurs Farm . He seemed to be at Peace with everything. And hats off to Elliot Landry for all the great photos. PEACE! PS. Some of my 50th photos did make it into a great local paper in Northampton Ma.
4:16 Grace Slick was hot in the day!
Nothing but peace drugs and great music. That crowd set the example for all outdoor festivals. Too bad altamont ruined it 4 months later
Much appreciated video. I knew photographer Jim Marshall was at Woodstock but not Elliot. Excellent work, sir, one frame at a time. No motor drive, no autofocus, no checking on the back of a digital camera to see if you got things right, just a couple old Leicas you could probably go to war with. Wish we could see more. Great job.
I wish we could have more Woodstock.
Woodstock can NEVER be duplicated,duplicated.🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Another Woodstock like that one unfortunately won't never happen again. Nowadays we are living
dangerous times, greedy politicians, racism, hatred among people, lack of love and peace, sharing and so on. For me, that festival set the example.
You can, Woodstock is a state of mind, peace ☮️ love ❤️ and music always 🕺🏿💃
I don't think anyone who was at Woodstock (and I was there for the whole thing), returned home and continued to be the same person they were before it. It was a transformative event, in my then, young life.
changed ME -showing how the (likely) impossible was POSSIBLE!!!
Man Wish I was there!!
Photographer Henry Diltz also had full stage access. He and the producer of Woodstock Michael Lang have created a book of photos about Woodstock.
That's what the world needs today in 2020, a bit of peace, love and understanding.
Thank you for sharing these photos, your thoughts and memories.
I've been a hippie all my life. To young for Woodstock though.Still like the music...
Thank you this . These pics are great and give such a great example of love. Thank you for sharing 🦋
Agreeing to be kind to each other, agreeing not to be greedy
Sometimes u say WOW that Woodstock clip,,, WAY TO SHORT ! 😎 BUT THANKS FOR THE MEMORYS
I was 6 Months old...... I have always had a connection to woodstock! The pictures of Janis are just Beautiful! I would of loved to see some Pics of Jimi Hendrix
I’m a little behind you. I was born August 13th. Kinda cool
Beautiful! Elliott Landy's photos are spectacular & iconic and we're so grateful for his capturing the only photo of our founder, Swami Satchidananda, opening the Festival with his words of peace and encouragement! Thank you Elliott and thank you TODAY for sharing this video!
What a cool connection 50 years later :-)
Swami came on at night Richie Havens opened
I wish I was there. I was only 2. Thank you for sharing such beautiful moments!
Amen awesome video the greatest memories 💋👍💐🌻🌷🌼🥀🌸💐🌹🌷🌻🌺
VERY IRRITATING Snickers commercial! Definitely DOES NOT make me want to run out to the store to purchase any! However, I truly enjoyed seeing the Woodstock photos! What a great time in America!
Henry Diltz was also a photographer at Woodstock, I have seen his slide show, quite amazing.
No cell phones,....bet everyone was actually talking to each other.
Lots of history there, I was 5 but people camped on our lawn! My mom was friends with “Maxie” who’s land it was on. Her brother (my uncle) was a medic there and is in a few somewhat famous pictures. There is a really cool museum there now (Bethel Woods) and well worth a visit especially on a concert day.
Seeing everyone sharing & being kind was "take away" for this 16 yo, too!
Back than was how it should be,
Brilliant work.
Awesome photos!
I wish could have been there.
And not a cellphone in sight
I have this photo I took of Wavey Gravey at a Festival in the 70's. Made copies to hand out at the 50th. At Bethel Woods and Yasgurs Farm. The thing that many folks said about the photo. WOW! Look at all the people watching Wavey and not one cell phone! Something I did not even think about!
nor any obese people
More please!
It is great to see the artists on stage, but the crowd was the real story .
I was only eleven years old but I wish I could have been there.
Who watched Woodstock at the drive in movie sitting on the hood of a vehicle?
Right on ✌️
Did Elliot Landy take the pictures that were used in the LIFE Magazine Special that came out months later...? Because if he is, then I saw him a few days after the end of the show with his camera up there on the stage pointed and snappen in my direction and I found myself in the special, but of course, the details of my face are not sufficiently detailed to convince anybody but myself...! It was a very big and professional looking camera that I saw...
Wow! Thanks, I love the photo of Janis, you captured her essence, if I had to explain who she was I'd show them your photo. Namaste
Love the Janis,would Love to have a Copy! ✌♥️
Cool pictures, man. Makes me wish I had been there. To bad I was born in 1962. I was a child of 7 almost 8. I do remember the moon landing that happened later that summer.
That was interesting
Good god grace slick was such a massive babe! Shwiiing!!
Yes she was. Groovy chick
I turned 4 the day Jimi Hendrix played.
The photo of Joe Cocker is so iconic. The composition and colors are amazing
New york state thruway is closed ,man!!!
@67psych3
I said that while looking at the(now) framed Woodstock poster my dad grabbed out of the mud as he was leaving 😉
You'll find it will be faster if you walk!
Very good speachmr.cameraman)
Too bad the 50th did not go off. Would have loved to be apart of a celebration of the good ole days.
Probably for the best, it would have been a massive disappointment.
If you look closely in the crowd photo I'm on the left wearing a white t shirt.
So that’s the way it happened. And if it didn’t happen it’s nice to know why it didn’t happen so in the future if we want to keep doing something we need to know why something stopped in the past if we want to keep it going. It's Only Going to get Larger as the World Shrinks with an ever increasing pace , The fantastic speed with which the world is shrinking there is sure to be an even Larger Celebration of Love and Peace :) QC
Laurie H. Happy 50th, Abe
That pic of Joe Cocker is epic !
trublu71 Indeed!
Peace Out 🇺🇸 💙
Elliott is not the Official Photographer at Woodstock; Henry Diltz is the Official Photographer - (nor is he one of two official photographers as he says.)
Barry Z Levine also had full stage and helicopter access as still photographer on the Academy Award winning film WOODSTOCK.
Elliott is hard to believe in more ways than one - see the Diltz related comments below.
This guy looks a,little like an old roger daltry of the who
Roger Daltrey looks like an old Roger Daltrey.
TWO official photographers. Couldn't they have gotten away with ONE?
No! I been to smaller Festivals. Where sometimes I have seen well over 50 photographers with photo permits!
Came here because of school
giv mig svarene rn
@@zophia5439 kan ikke huske dem
Elliott was not the only photographer for stage access at all time, Henry Dilts was the official photographer who had full stage access, so did Barry Z Levine, Still Photographer on the Academy Award winning film Woodstock
freedom peace and love because the node of the mooen was actually in PISCES when WOODSTOCK happened
Janis. Was a beautiful woman. She was the real deal
What if you were right in the middle of that crowd and you really, really had to go have a crap?
I've thought about that many times.
“ DONT TAKE THE BROWN ACID “
I don’t see any fat guy/woman.
There were 7 one was pregnant so doesn't count

My curiosity about Woodstock is exceeded only by my delight in not having been there. Festival of music...mud, filth and BO. The thought of being surrounded by 400,000 unwashed hormonal teenagers/hippies is bloodcurdling.
and they raised a generation of kids who still live in their parents basements..... yep.. dope is good.
