I caught that too. I was too young to go to Woodstock but in 1959, I was 2 years old. The reality was that I was 12 years old with uncool parents and I was too young to go
He starts out completely wrong.. I was there.. It was a great experience, but the weather sucked.. also, I've seen some of these pics already.. this guy gets stuff wrong.. do your homework..
My mother was at Woodstock 69 and has so many pictures of the event. Im so jealous of the fact she was there... she passed away 2 years ago and I miss her so much.
Sorry, half the photos have nothing to do with Woodstock, and others that seem music festival related are also not Woodstock. My future wife (didn't know her at that time) was at this event, driving up from South FLA in a Corvair, but I did not make it since I was otherwise occupied half a world away. Our kids love her stories and her pics, and we have a DVD of Jimi Hendrix's performance there where she can be see clearly in the crowd. Man she looked good when she was 22, been with her 46 years and she is even better at age 75.
I was at the festival, and some of the photos shown here, along with the video's shown here are not from 1969. I was one of the kids at the festival, I was only 12 years old and I was at the festival with my older cousins. Even though many people didn't want to move from their spot on the ground in front of the staging area, we all did roam around, especially when nature called. I was there for the entire festival, and it laid the foundation of who I've been throughout my life.Many people who were at the festival have changed over the years, but I still believe in Peace and non-violence.
I didn't make it to Woodstock, but that festival spawned many wannabes. Like the early 70s Diamond Head Crater festivals, a few of which I attended. Mini-Woodstocks. Except they were one-day affairs. I remember seeing Santana and Buddy Miles, the Turtles, Styx. It was rumored that Jethro Tull might play, as he had played in a Honolulu concert the night before. But that didn't happen. Oh well- I got to see the concert, as well.
2:20 "A bus that looked psychedelic" was in fact Ken Kesey's "Farther" bus, the start of it all. Millenials should leave the 60's to people who lived it !!!
As a millennial I can say that I knew more about Woodstock than this idiot. I would like to pass the torch of who messed this up to the next generation. The tech generation. I might not have been there for Woodstock but my parents were and they told me enough and reached me enough for me to know this guy is full of some dung. Tie downs, really!!!
you can tell the guy who did the video was not at Woodstock because he had no feel for the time. also he left out a lot of things that made Woodstock, WOODSTOCK. i would like to see a reunion of everyone who was there. i would love to see the VW van we went in!
@@bgtexdaddy Ten Years Later...Alvin Lee's new band sometime after the break up of Ten Years After ! I was hoping that Alvin Lee's collaboration with Mylon Lefevre back in the 70s would have turned him towards God, but Mylon was not living right then. When he came back to the states he got right. He wrote a Christian song called Without Him for his family gospel family group when he was a teen. The name of Alvin's and Mylon's rock album was On The Road to Freedom. I was an atheist when the album came out, and it was mainly soft rock, so disappointing. There were a few good songs on it, I did like the title track, musically. Cannot remember any other words in the song.
@@kimthurston9192 true enough but to see a bunch of them back than in a photo and than get the same group now together in a photo (even possed in the same way) would be very cool - and no not us kids playing in the mud!
@Josh Traffanstedt where you there? people where coming and going. the kids there (and i am talking about the kids of the kids) band members all over the place. hells angels here and there. i just wished i was older to really have gotten the feel of it
BTW, the couple on the Woodstock LP cover is of a local couple...from "Pine Bush" actually....not too far from the concert. They eventually got married.
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day!
What a pathetic document this is, starting with "1959" 0:06 . I was there and this reminds me in no way of the experience. It smacks more of the glib utter superficiality of 2020. I hope the current young generation have the opportunity to experience something as amazing and profound as Woodstock actually was.
The multicoloured garments were called the dyes, a very popular fashion then, n Ive never heard anyone ever mispronounce them!!!!!do your research before u present something as definite as a video to the public!!!!!
he passed away about 10 days ago, unfortunately. cancer. never lost that youthful look. there is a relatively new doc (about the real Woodstock)on YT, where he basically makes his last appearance.
It’s obvious the orator of this video hadn’t preread the copy. He repeated several phrases curiously and someone older needs to explain to him that what he referred to as “tie downs”, were actually what was referred to as (tie dye), A process of tying knots in clothing and then submersing that area in a specific color of die, alternating the colors, and rinsing the dyed product before untying the knots, giving the ultimate result of a multicolored pseudo psychedelic pattern or design. The still photos were interesting, and some of the info was as well, however, the delivery needs some work and it would help if the narrator was familiar with the subject, so as to give accurate info and prevent gaffs from diluting what otherwise, would be a pretty cool video presentation. Peace brothers and sisters! ✌️☮️✝️✡️☪️☯️💟
Familiar? This guy doesn't even know Woodstock was in '69 not '59! If he's a decade out with the date I'm wondering if he's 16 or 17? I was so blown out on that I put on closed captions to make sure I wasn't just mishearing it but no..captions said 1958 too LMFAO & he's not even trippin' unless he got the brown acid lol ;) Grace Slick said the Sunshine was really good she got. Then again the 'bear' was no doubt there lol
At 6:33, I believe the correct term is tie-dyed. Where you wrap a tee shirt or maybe a towel into knots and soak it in Ritz clothing dye. Done it many times! I remember one of the most controversial songs at Woodstock was The Vietnam song performed by Country Joe and the Fish. Imagine ten year olds singing this song on the school playground. That was me!😊
Yes, it was a catchy song for walking to/from school... "Be the first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box!..." And: "Give me an 'F' /F!' Give me a "U" / "U!"...
@@carlcushmanhybels8159 saw Country Joe when he was doing his Woody Guthrie 100 birthday tour in '12. strictly folk music. which I enjoy .didn't drop one f-bomb. and I got the impression he's a bit tired of being asked to. he wasn't at Woodstock to do a solo gig. he was ,like Richie Havens, put on the spot, to keep the massive crowd happy. that's how we got the "fuck" cheer. as opposed to the ''fish'' cheer. Country Joe & the FISH got to play in the rain. MARIHUANA!!!
In 1967, Country Joe & The Fish had an underground hit with (the correct name) "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag", done Jug Band style. It was the perfect anti-Vietnam War anthem.
@@scottdenoncour6418 Same with us guys. That's what I saw in the old yearbook. One, maybe two in the class/year. Now? 3 or four per classroom. Grotesque.
In the middle of a flu epidemic, we had a ball. The comment about air conditioning , I graduated from high school 1969. I never attended an air conditioned classroom. I lived in Tampa Florida so yes it got hot , people had air conditions at home but not the schools. Every time I come across this stuff I look for myself in the pictures. The really big social meme was the Vietnam war and being drafted.
@@ROZAKRIU yes old describes it , I was 18 . I left home in Tampa Florida to hitch hike to Bethel New York. I had seventeen dollars in my pockets , plenty of money for those days. I could always find some work if I needed more money. I am 70 years old now, there is no comparison in the times, the people or even the money to today.
@@ROZAKRIU you what just struck me , boys of the age we were today live in mom’s basement . No earning of their own , lego sets , video games and the worst no girl friend.
@@ROZAKRIU I remember when I turned 18, Vietnam was basically over, but my Dad assured me that if I didn't get my ass down to Main st. to Selective Service, to simply register, that some nice federal employees would notice it, and be more than happy to physically take me there. I went voluntarily.
I came of age in the eighties, but part of me is solidly of the sixties. Having been born in 1968, the 1960's culture lingered about in the early seventies long enough for me to absorb it. I love the music, movies, and culture of that time period. We had it right then. We had problems, but we had hope for the future. Love your brother, live a minimalist life, don't judge anyone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. Exactly who was it who said those things? Oh, right. Jesus.
I was there. Someone gave my husband 4 tickets and we took our friends and their baby. We had a truck camper so, even though we had to park far away from the stage, we lucked out to have a dry, comfortable place to sleep, food & water & beer. (We did run out of milk & I milked a cow, ) a flush toilet - as long as we didn't flush it too often. We shared some of our food but not water as what we had was pretty limited. A lot of people brought tons of weed or coke but didn't bring food. We had food but no weed. We traded a lot. When it was over & everyone was leaving we couldn't get out because where we were parked so we stayed and helped with the cleanup. Some guy came over to us & gave us $500.He said they were paying the clean up crew so he was paying us. OK. Back then my take home pay for 2 weeks was $169 and I just made $125 working half a day picking up garbage.
They didn't even really show Michael Shrieve when talking about the Santana drummer who was still peaking on LSD just before getting on-stage at 2pm Eastern. His performance for a 20 year old in front of a massive crowd was unforgettable. Sly Stone and Richie Havens were another couple of exceptional performances at the festival.
He said 1959! I had to listen to it twice. I know it was 1969 because I was there and I had just graduated from high school that June. It was a great summer to be sure! I see someone else caught the tie down instead of tie dyed comment! But he also talked about the chicks as they showed a picture of baby ducks! This guy is clueless!
I was there too. I was ten years old and I was supposed to spend the summer at my grandparents home in New Hampshire but they decided at the last minute to spend August in Europe and my aunt reluctantly agreed to baby sit me for the month. Then she heard about the concert and packed us up in her green bug and it took hours to drive there. My aunt made friends with another girl (my aunt was 20 at the time) who was there with her little sister, basically same situation, she was baby sitting her little sister for the summer while her parents were traveling. So they had pitched a tent and the little sister was 13 and said I was cute and if I had photos of what we did I could go to prison for it. It was decades before I learned that multiday concert was the famous Woodstock. I was ten. All I knew was it was loud, the lines for toilets took forever, there was funny smelling smoke everywhere and the most beautiful girl in the world was named Sunflower.
@@nunyabiznez6381 I was 13. but unlike you, I didn't have a cool aunt. no way was my Dad letting me go to a mud bath w/ hippies ,who, unlike seemingly most adults ,couldn't find a war they didn't want to send kids to. if you can't learn from Korea, you don't deserve a pasture full of kids to run off to a shithole in the jungle for you. and I'm fucking serious! besides, kids here found a shithole in the forest, w/ no artillery going off.
Lol. The summer of 1959! Yeah! I was there. Man, it was great! 1959! There were cows there....green grass.... a big hill. 10 years later, in 1969, there were tens of thousands of kids there and rock bands! Lol. But in ‘59, there were big cows! What a time I had!
My wife, newborn and I were on 84 our way to Washington, Pa to see my father who was in a hospital dying of a heart attack when we became trapped at the top of a ridge in the horizon to horizon six-lane wide traffic jam on both sides of the divided four-lane highway caused when a concert goer abandoned his car and was killed by a car. Following concert goers on both sides simply parked their cars on the highway and started walking. First the exit ramps became plugged, then the breakdown lanes, followed by the slow lanes and finally the passing lanes and its break-down lane were plugged. We waited, trapped for over 8 hours with a new-born and no food or water watching police and news helicopters flying up and down the highway while listening to news broadcasts advising the roads were clear. Finally bulldozers began pushing vehicles off to clear a lane. Yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of Woodstock.
I'm from Monticello new York i was there i was 15 Years old and it was something out of this world for an immigrant it left a lasting expresión now tha i'm 69
I was there. This is without a doubt the worst coverage of Woodstock I've ever seen. Where do they come up with these narrators. All over u tube, shitty narration by people no clue or talent for the job.
Do my eyes deceive me or is that a totally naked dude proudly standing there at 7:35? Sly and The Family Stone was the topic but I think the naked dude deserves a mention..

You know what I’m very disappointed in UA-cam 43 years ago. Yesterday was the assassination of probably one of the most influential songwriter, singers and musicians. John, Winston Ono Lennon, and the others changed music history forever, and I did not see one tribute on here from UA-cam.
Thank you! Tie downs, what a door knob. I hate tie dye, while my ex-wife loved it. One day I came from work after particularly uncooperative client site visit and she comes in wearing a new tie dye T-shirt. She’s holding it out so I could see it and says “do you like my new shirt?” No. “Why not?” “Because it looks like a rainbow threw up on you.” Don’t understand why that one didn’t work out.
@catmodelt You should keep going back, every year, until you figure it out. Look how many years you've already wasted. You'd best get on it. You only have so much time, left.
@@michaelswinehart2788 It was a satiric joke! Copertim knows the truth. He was quoting the narrator's big mistakes: that Woodstock was 1959 and the "Tie-Down" clothes.
Kids today blame the Woodstock generation for destroying the earth. That couple in the blanket were on the cover of the record. Last I heard they were still together and still have the blanket.
I turned it off in the first 10 seconds when he said 1959. What an authority on the subject. He only missed by a decade! Has anyone watched the whole video. I can't imagine
Nope, I lasted 5 minutes. Title's right though: nobody COULD have seen these Woodstock photographs, because many of them are not OF Woodstock.... Rip-off click bait!
and they were both outstanding!! saw SANTANA(Jeff Beck opened)in the 2000's I think. and in the early '70's, saw SHA-NA-NA w/ AEROSMITH opening. it had rained earlier (at Suffolk Downs Boston), and the local crowd only wanted AEROSMITH. Bowzer, of post Woodstock fame w/ them, started egging on the loudmouths, and soon found full beer cans being chucked at him. it got ugly fast. in all fairness, SHA-NA-NA did what they did well. 1950's teenage R&R.
2:23 photo is not from woodstock, not even close. pull tab on softdrink is one giveaway. starbucks coffee style drink with straw is second. overall quality of digital photo is the clincher.
@@salliecaulford4875 the pull tab style shown in the photo, the type that stayed on the can instead of being discarded, or falling into the can, came much later after Woodstock.. not even close. The straw in the lid for the hot beverage the same, much later. The fashions, the stadium seating, the quality of the photography is completely out of place. Do you seriously believe that photo of the two young boys @ 2:23 was taken in the 1960s? Or how about the guy on the cell phone at 2:53? Face it, the whole video is a collection of ripped off vintage shots mixed with ripped off stock footage. That said, Photos like melanie safka at 3:24 almost make the video worth watching.
@@4sknns i agree 110 % i do not believe that there was bleachers at woodstock # 1 . that pop can looks like a coke can ,never saw a green coke can in the sixties
My high school on Long Island took two bus loads of students to Woodstock. If you didn’t make it there the first day, forget bout it! The Long Island Expressway was like a big parking lot. My father didn’t allow me to attend. He said there’d be too many people. ✌🏽❤️
only a "boomer" could understand those days, pictures can't show feelings, was a much happier time, people make fun of us boomers today, but they will never know or understand the joy most felt , the world was a better place then, not near perfect, but better
Can’t believe I was only 2 years old when this famous festival came alive I was surprised to know it was in up state New York near Catskills Mountains. That’s originally where Iron Mike Tyson use to train in his very early years Cus Dmato 👍
It's Richie Havens - not Haven. The amazing thing about Woodstock is that there was NO violence at all. If you held this festival today, there would be multiple rapes, fights and murders.
Born 1945. San Francisco Artist 1967. This is awful. Our neighbor came downstairs with a huge camera on his shoulder shoulder. Where u going? Answer: Oh I have a gig at some music festival upstate New York. We had already been through the Be-in in Golden Gate Park.

I love seeing these videos about Woodstock and the positive values it expressed, I'm so sick of the recent attacks on "Boomers". But nobody ever talks about how many babies were conceived there.
There is no way the time , the people or the place will ever align again to create another Woodstock. I did an Atlanta Pop festival and it was great but!
I read recently that nobody ever came forward publicly to say they were born there. it's been said since the 2nd day of the festival, but still, nobody.
Even if I had been conceived there, I would not brag about it. All it would mean is my parents were so stoned that they didn't care that they were screwing in the rain and mud (and poo) Yep. Don't over-romanticize this thing. It was only "pretty cool". It only changed the lives of people that didn't have one at that moment.So they filled it in with "I was There".
@@cardio0007 you missed the point then. Show me a venue today that could put that many people together with out mugging, murder and chaos. Their was no water to speak of, food was scare as can be. I bought the last bottle of wine at the store in the way in , I walked another three hours to the festival site. Only when you got within a mile did you notice the mud on people and their clothing. Down by the stage mud was a fact of life. Drugs shortages of food water sanitation and no troubles . I had a very carefree,amazing couple of days m then I hitched a rude into New York City talk about a terrifying, uncivilized, rude place ! Bethal rocked , NewYork city seemed exactly like hell on Earth to me.
@@cardio0007 yeah, when you think about the cow dung that fell on that ground (a dairy farm pasture, right?) over the decades before Woodstock even arrived, wow. growing up, we kids who ''grew up" in it's aftermath never thought a lot about the highly unpleasant aspects of the event in favor of folklore, and playing the 3 LP set from '70 at high volumes.
The poorest video about WoodStock I have ever seen, as mentioned most of the photos were modern! The video should be taken and the people that produced it should be barred from posting anymore vids on UTube!
It was 1969. I just turned 18 and was an adult. My Dad said ," The only wood you're going to stock is in the woodshed for this winter. It's not going to be safe,too many people, no bathrooms and crimes are going to happen."

The rain was from Hurricane Camille that wiped out the central coast. The food or what they had of it was from Wavy Gravy and the Hog Farm commune. It was great.
I had the full VHS copy, wow, it was a ball, it's like you can actually touched the musicians, that tape had the best quality and the beginning with Richie Valens, you know the black guy with the long beard singing "Freedom" and he did it live, right there on the spot ,awesome; to Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner with his guitar, it was awesome. The notes from JH guitar were talking the words, with all kinds of bands and singers in the middle: Santana, Janis Joplin, Sly&FamilyStone, it was so many that I just got brain freeze, damn.
@@ginger1549 their would be to many shootings and gang bangers would ruin a Woodstock of today. Plus the many governments, local, state and federal wouldn't approve of such a thing
Thanks man I really enjoyed that. Brings back great memories of a time when people got along and grooved together no matter who you were or where you came from.
You're living in a fantasy world man. People didn't just all get along. That was the big lie. Many hippies had an idealistic fantasy view of what they were trying to do, but many just refused to deal with real life and just escaped through drugs and ignoring what was really happening around them, rejecting reality and substituting their fantasy.
Somebody needs to tell this gent that the concert in Bethel, NY. was in 1969, not 1959. I know, it's just ten years, but Jimi Hendrix was only about 13 in 59.
It's good to hear and see all these memories of Woodstock on UA-cam . I have written a screenplay which starts at this festival and develops into a generation spanning rock n roll romance. A psychedelic VW hippie bus is also featured. Atlantis Outpost by Richard"Von"White.
Not only did you get 90% of your facts wrong, at the end that guy that you just pointed out on the motorcycle in the vest wasn’t just a random guy, that was Marty Lang, one of the producers!
WOW THIS GUY IS CLUELESS. I WAS THERE WAS DRAFTED INTO MARINES, WENT THEN REPORTED TO P.I. , MY BUDDY AMD I RODE OUR BIKES THERE, PARKED THEM ALONG FENCE, IT WAS IN SAME SPOT 3 DAYS LATER. NO HARM. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I EVER DID. SEMPER FI.
I was also there and in the Army. Stationed in Baltimore at Ft Holabird, Army Intellience Command! Went in a MGB on a 3 day pass and was almost AWOL getting back.
As a person that lived thru this--- I can attest that this man has no idea what he is talking about !!!!

I was at the festival, and some of the photos shown here, along with the video's shown here are not from 1969. I was one of the kids at the festival, I was only 12 years old and I was at the festival with my older cousins.

I didn't make it to Woodstock, but that festival spawned many wannabes. Like the early 70s Diamond Head Crater festivals, a few of which I attended. Mini-Woodstocks. Except they were one-day affairs.

Because you tied them first than you dyed them. How you tie them creates the patterns.

I was hoping that Alvin Lee's collaboration with Mylon Lefevre back in the 70s would have turned him towards God, but Mylon was not living right then. When he came back to the states he got right. He wrote a Christian song called Without Him for his family gospel family group when he was a teen. The name of Alvin's and Mylon's rock album was On The Road to Freedom.
I was an atheist when the album came out, and it was mainly soft rock, so disappointing. There were a few good songs on it, I did like the title track, musically. Cannot remember any other words in the song.
@@kimthurston9192 true enough but to see a bunch of them back than in a photo and than get the same group now together in a photo (even possed in the same way) would be very cool - and no not us kids playing in the mud!
@Josh Traffanstedt where you there? people where coming and going. the kids there (and i am talking about the kids of the kids) band members all over the place. hells angels here and there. i just wished i was older to really have gotten the feel of it
I remember those days. Ppl were much more loving and caring than today.
More idealistic too
Go to burning man.
I would not have fit in. "Too Square".
BTW, the couple on the Woodstock LP cover is of a local couple...from "Pine Bush" actually....not too far from the concert. They eventually got married.
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day!
What a pathetic document this is, starting with "1959" 0:06 . I was there and this reminds me in no way of the experience. It smacks more of the glib utter superficiality of 2020.
I hope the current young generation have the opportunity to experience something as amazing and profound as Woodstock actually was.
The multicoloured garments were called the dyes, a very popular fashion then, n Ive never heard anyone ever mispronounce them!!!!!do your research before u present something as definite as a video to the public!!!!!
They were called tie dies. This phone computer keeps messing up. Maybe that's what happened to the narrator.
The guy on the motorcycle at the end is Michael Lang, one of the guys who put together Woodstock '69
he passed away about 10 days ago, unfortunately. cancer. never lost that youthful look. there is a relatively new doc (about the real Woodstock)on YT, where he basically makes his last appearance.
Looks a whole lot like Jim Morrison and some like his woman Pam. 😃
It’s obvious the orator of this video hadn’t preread the copy. He repeated several phrases curiously and someone older needs to explain to him that what he referred to as “tie downs”, were actually what was referred to as (tie dye), A process of tying knots in clothing and then submersing that area in a specific color of die, alternating the colors, and rinsing the dyed product before untying the knots, giving the ultimate result of a multicolored pseudo psychedelic pattern or design. The still photos were interesting, and some of the info was as well, however, the delivery needs some work and it would help if the narrator was familiar with the subject, so as to give accurate info and prevent gaffs from diluting what otherwise, would be a pretty cool video presentation. Peace brothers and sisters! ✌️☮️✝️✡️☪️☯️💟
I'm sure there were a lot of black rubber tie-downs there, also. tie-die never gets old.
☮️✌️💕
* tie dyed ... at times, by pre-twisting and securing fabric sections by rubber bands
Familiar? This guy doesn't even know Woodstock was in '69 not '59! If he's a decade out with the date I'm wondering if he's 16 or 17? I was so blown out on that I put on closed captions to make sure I wasn't just mishearing it but no..captions said 1958 too LMFAO & he's not even trippin' unless he got the brown acid lol ;) Grace Slick said the Sunshine was really good she got. Then again the 'bear' was no doubt there lol
@@JudgeJulieLit Yes I remember the rubber band trip. I feel in the mood for shooms right now..must be the topic ;)
I was almost 1 yrs old at the time and I know more about Woodstock 1969 than the narrator does. He needs to research it better!
Yeah, I was at Woodstock in 1959 and saw Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, the late Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, just to name a few…😊
At 6:33, I believe the correct term is tie-dyed. Where you wrap a tee shirt or maybe a towel into knots and soak it in Ritz clothing dye. Done it many times! I remember one of the most controversial songs at Woodstock was The Vietnam song performed by Country Joe and the Fish. Imagine ten year olds singing this song on the school playground. That was me!😊
Yes, it was a catchy song for walking to/from school... "Be the first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box!..." And: "Give me an 'F' /F!' Give me a "U" / "U!"...
It's RIT brand, and tie dye has been huge over the years and is still practiced everywhere.
@@carlcushmanhybels8159 saw Country Joe when he was doing his Woody Guthrie 100 birthday tour in '12. strictly folk music. which I enjoy .didn't drop one f-bomb. and I got the impression he's a bit tired of being asked to. he wasn't at Woodstock to do a solo gig. he was ,like Richie Havens, put on the spot, to keep the massive crowd happy. that's how we got the "fuck" cheer. as opposed to the ''fish'' cheer. Country Joe & the FISH got to play in the rain. MARIHUANA!!!
In 1967, Country Joe & The Fish had an underground hit with (the correct name) "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag", done Jug Band style. It was the perfect anti-Vietnam War anthem.
I was there, had the time of my life
Yuh, 2 million said they were there .
Do you really remember? I was there and I don't remember much. We did have to milk a cow to get milk for our friend's baby.
Melanie playing at the concert brought naturally the vibe they were working so hard to create. She's one of my personal favorite musicians.
Her voice is so powerful, better than Janis.
@Gary JacksonGood for her!
I love Melanie
Stop comparing.
Yes she was amazing. I commented about his narrative of her being nervous...ticks me off when they make up things just so they can yak on a video.
a fantastic work for every - who was young + with open mind in those days -- many thx + greetz from germany
Summer of 1959 huh? That makes me 10 years older than my parents told me I am!
Facts I take from Woodstock: women were so naturally beautiful in the 60s
Yes they were.
I agree
Look at High school year books from the sixties and seventies.
most grils today are way over weight just the opposite back then
@@scottdenoncour6418 Same with us guys. That's what I saw in the old yearbook. One, maybe two in the class/year. Now? 3 or four per classroom. Grotesque.
In the middle of a flu epidemic, we had a ball. The comment about air conditioning , I graduated from high school 1969. I never attended an air conditioned classroom. I lived in Tampa Florida so yes it got hot , people had air conditions at home but not the schools. Every time I come across this stuff I look for myself in the pictures. The really big social meme was the Vietnam war and being drafted.
@@ROZAKRIU yes old describes it , I was 18 . I left home in Tampa Florida to hitch hike to Bethel New York.
I had seventeen dollars in my pockets , plenty of money for those days. I could always find some work if I needed more money. I am 70 years old now, there is no comparison in the times, the people or even the money to today.

@@ROZAKRIU I remember when I turned 18, Vietnam was basically over, but my Dad assured me that if I didn't get my ass down to Main st. to Selective Service, to simply register, that some nice federal employees would notice it, and be more than happy to physically take me there. I went voluntarily.
Every one of those pictures have been shown thousands of times.
10:50 of my life I will never get back again.......
I heard him same Festival in 1959 ---what? Make that 1969 -- the Summer of Love!!!
I came of age in the eighties, but part of me is solidly of the sixties. Having been born in 1968, the 1960's culture lingered about in the early seventies long enough for me to absorb it. I love the music, movies, and culture of that time period. We had it right then. We had problems, but we had hope for the future. Love your brother, live a minimalist life, don't judge anyone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. Exactly who was it who said those things? Oh, right. Jesus.
The stock photography in between festival photos is unfortunate.
Right. It makes no sense. We don’t need another photo to explain a photograph
Right!!!! Super LAME!
I was there. Someone gave my husband 4 tickets and we took our friends and their baby. We had a truck camper so, even though we had to park far away from the stage, we lucked out to have a dry, comfortable place to sleep, food & water & beer. (We did run out of milk & I milked a cow, ) a flush toilet - as long as we didn't flush it too often. We shared some of our food but not water as what we had was pretty limited. A lot of people brought tons of weed or coke but didn't bring food. We had food but no weed. We traded a lot. When it was over & everyone was leaving we couldn't get out because where we were parked so we stayed and helped with the cleanup. Some guy came over to us & gave us $500.He said they were paying the clean up crew so he was paying us. OK. Back then my take home pay for 2 weeks was $169 and I just made $125 working half a day picking up garbage.
That's a great story, my Man
The Summer of 1959?
I'm even older than I thought I was!
They didn't even really show Michael Shrieve when talking about the Santana drummer who was still peaking on LSD just before getting on-stage at 2pm Eastern. His performance for a 20 year old in front of a massive crowd was unforgettable.
Sly Stone and Richie Havens were another couple of exceptional performances at the festival.
He said 1959! I had to listen to it twice. I know it was 1969 because I was there and I had just graduated from high school that June. It was a great summer to be sure! I see someone else caught the tie down instead of tie dyed comment! But he also talked about the chicks as they showed a picture of baby ducks! This guy is clueless!
I noticed the ducks first thing . Duh.
I know! How could he muff that one up? If it had happened in 1959, it would have been WAY different. That event defined 1969.
I was there too. I was ten years old and I was supposed to spend the summer at my grandparents home in New Hampshire but they decided at the last minute to spend August in Europe and my aunt reluctantly agreed to baby sit me for the month. Then she heard about the concert and packed us up in her green bug and it took hours to drive there. My aunt made friends with another girl (my aunt was 20 at the time) who was there with her little sister, basically same situation, she was baby sitting her little sister for the summer while her parents were traveling. So they had pitched a tent and the little sister was 13 and said I was cute and if I had photos of what we did I could go to prison for it. It was decades before I learned that multiday concert was the famous Woodstock. I was ten. All I knew was it was loud, the lines for toilets took forever, there was funny smelling smoke everywhere and the most beautiful girl in the world was named Sunflower.
@@nunyabiznez6381 Thanks for your story. I was a kid at the time too. 'Wasn't at Woodstock.
@@nunyabiznez6381 I was 13. but unlike you, I didn't have a cool aunt. no way was my Dad letting me go to a mud bath w/ hippies ,who, unlike seemingly most adults ,couldn't find a war they didn't want to send kids to. if you can't learn from Korea, you don't deserve a pasture full of kids to run off to a shithole in the jungle for you. and I'm fucking serious! besides, kids here found a shithole in the forest, w/ no artillery going off.
Lol. The summer of 1959! Yeah! I was there. Man, it was great! 1959! There were cows there....green grass.... a big hill. 10 years later, in 1969, there were tens of thousands of kids there and rock bands! Lol. But in ‘59, there were big cows! What a time I had!
Classic man, good one. High fives.
My wife, newborn and I were on 84 our way to Washington, Pa to see my father who was in a hospital dying of a heart attack when we became trapped at the top of a ridge in the horizon to horizon six-lane wide traffic jam on both sides of the divided four-lane highway caused when a concert goer abandoned his car and was killed by a car. Following concert goers on both sides simply parked their cars on the highway and started walking. First the exit ramps became plugged, then the breakdown lanes, followed by the slow lanes and finally the passing lanes and its break-down lane were plugged. We waited, trapped for over 8 hours with a new-born and no food or water watching police and news helicopters flying up and down the highway while listening to news broadcasts advising the roads were clear. Finally bulldozers began pushing vehicles off to clear a lane. Yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of Woodstock.
It seems like they could have found a better narrator for this video that had a clue about the concert and the times then.
I'm from Monticello new York i was there i was 15 Years old and it was something out of this world for an immigrant it left a lasting expresión now tha i'm 69
How beautiful is to highlight the good feelings and spiritual messages of this event.
This guy is clueless, mis-identified so much. 2/3 of the pictures were modern. Waste of time could not finish barf
Agreed
The narrator is clearly not from this era.
Do your research at the very LEAST, wish I would've checked the posts BEFORE watching this HACK !
Tie down? Sounds like something from camping or motorcycling.
Pretty pathetic video.
Boy that was rather painful.
It was the summer of 59......could not watch another second....lol gimme a break.....lol
Agreed...

Where do they come up with these narrators. All over
u tube, shitty narration by people no clue or talent for the job.
Do my eyes deceive me or is that a totally naked dude proudly standing there at 7:35? Sly and The Family Stone was the topic but I think the naked dude deserves a mention..
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day!
You know what I’m very disappointed in UA-cam 43 years ago. Yesterday was the assassination of probably one of the most influential songwriter, singers and musicians. John, Winston Ono Lennon, and the others changed music history forever, and I did not see one tribute on here from UA-cam.
Tie downs? Uh, it's Tie Dye. This guys a joke. 1969. Was the year.
Yea the narrator is not doing a good job. It’s 1969 not 1959.
I played that twice to hear it 59 no no 69 yes
Thank you! Tie downs, what a door knob. I hate tie dye, while my ex-wife loved it. One day I came from work after particularly uncooperative client site visit and she comes in wearing a new tie dye T-shirt. She’s holding it out so I could see it and says “do you like my new shirt?” No. “Why not?” “Because it looks like a rainbow threw up on you.” Don’t understand why that one didn’t work out.
Tie Down . . . What is a tie down . Typical Millennial ignorance and Disrespect . sad .
@catmodelt You should keep going back, every year, until you figure it out. Look how many years you've already wasted. You'd best get on it. You only have so much time, left.

The eighties that followed came pretty close

Tie dye (as in ink)
Bad weather was no big deal compared to being in Vietnam.
Kids today blame the Woodstock generation for destroying the earth. That couple in the blanket were on the cover of the record. Last I heard they were still together and still have the blanket.
I turned it off in the first 10 seconds when he said 1959. What an authority on the subject. He only missed by a decade! Has anyone watched the whole video. I can't imagine
Nope, I lasted 5 minutes. Title's right though: nobody COULD have seen these Woodstock photographs, because many of them are not OF Woodstock....
Rip-off click bait!
Actually, the youngest performer at Woodstock was Henry Gross of Sha-na-na. He was just 18 and Michael Shrieve was 19 at the time.
I seem to remember that Carlos Santana was 18 and his main drummer was 17
and they were both outstanding!! saw SANTANA(Jeff Beck opened)in the 2000's I think. and in the early '70's, saw SHA-NA-NA w/ AEROSMITH opening. it had rained earlier (at Suffolk Downs Boston), and the local crowd only wanted AEROSMITH. Bowzer, of post Woodstock fame w/ them, started egging on the loudmouths, and soon found full beer cans being chucked at him. it got ugly fast. in all fairness, SHA-NA-NA did what they did well. 1950's teenage R&R.
@@grantkruse1812 Carlos was 22 at the time.
Seen Photos...in fact many are from NOT Woodstock....I saved everyone 10 minutes
It’s often said that The Who were the only band that got paid for Woodstock, but this video seems to say otherwise.
The couple pictured together at 9:15 are still together today.
Why all the "other" non Woodstock photo overlays? It just distracts from trying to see the real photos.
21 seconds in and 1959? Not wasting anymore time on the rest of it.
3 seconds for me
2:23 photo is not from woodstock, not even close. pull tab on softdrink is one giveaway. starbucks coffee style drink with straw is second. overall quality of digital photo is the clincher.
soda cans HAD pull tabs in 1969
@@salliecaulford4875 the pull tab style shown in the photo, the type that stayed on the can instead of being discarded, or falling into the can, came much later after Woodstock.. not even close. The straw in the lid for the hot beverage the same, much later. The fashions, the stadium seating, the quality of the photography is completely out of place. Do you seriously believe that photo of the two young boys @ 2:23 was taken in the 1960s? Or how about the guy on the cell phone at 2:53? Face it, the whole video is a collection of ripped off vintage shots mixed with ripped off stock footage. That said, Photos like melanie safka at 3:24 almost make the video worth watching.
He also said it's 1959 in the intro.

My high school on Long Island took two bus loads of students to Woodstock. If you didn’t make it there the first day, forget bout it! The Long Island Expressway was like a big parking lot. My father didn’t allow me to attend. He said there’d be too many people. ✌🏽❤️
Wait! We were just told that Eddie Van Halen was first to tap the guitar strings. At 4:47 it looks like Jimi was doing it about 10 years earlier.
And doing it in the 50s no less.
Borrowed from Buddy Guy even earlier
Eddie was clearly.... not the first.
Jim I also learned from Buddy Guy!!
within seconds of the video the narrator claims 1959 as Woodstock's year. Peculiar.
only a "boomer" could understand those days, pictures can't show feelings, was a much happier time, people make fun of us boomers today, but they will never know or understand the joy most felt , the world was a better place then, not near perfect, but better
I loved this story. It happened before I was able to attend..🤷♀️❤🌺
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
Can’t believe I was only 2 years old when this famous festival came alive I was surprised to know it was in up state New York near Catskills Mountains. That’s originally where Iron Mike Tyson use to train in his very early years Cus Dmato 👍
A couple of corrections. It was 1969 and not 1959. And those are ducks and not chicks. Btw...i was there at woodstock.
It's Richie Havens - not Haven. The amazing thing about Woodstock is that there was NO violence at all. If you held this festival today, there would be multiple rapes, fights and murders.
Tie-down is what you do to a tent so it wont blow away in the wind... Color patterning fabrics is Tie-Dye.
Tie downs are straps too. Either way, he's way off.
Summer of ‘59? Wear glasses when you’re reading your script.
Born 1945. San Francisco Artist 1967. This is awful. Our neighbor came downstairs with a huge camera on his shoulder shoulder. Where u going? Answer: Oh I have a gig at some music festival upstate New York. We had already been through the Be-in in Golden Gate Park.

I love seeing these videos about Woodstock and the positive values it expressed, I'm so sick of the recent attacks on "Boomers".
But nobody ever talks about how many babies were conceived there.
There is no way the time , the people or the place will ever align again to create another Woodstock. I did an Atlanta Pop festival and it was great but!
I read recently that nobody ever came forward publicly to say they were born there. it's been said since the 2nd day of the festival, but still, nobody.
Even if I had been conceived there, I would not brag about it. All it would mean is my parents were so stoned that they didn't care that they were screwing in the rain and mud (and poo) Yep. Don't over-romanticize this thing. It was only "pretty cool". It only changed the lives of people that didn't have one at that moment.So they filled it in with "I was There".
@@cardio0007 you missed the point then. Show me a venue today that could put that many people together with out mugging, murder and chaos.
Their was no water to speak of, food was scare as can be. I bought the last bottle of wine at the store in the way in , I walked another three hours to the festival site. Only when you got within a mile did you notice the mud on people and their clothing. Down by the stage mud was a fact of life. Drugs shortages of food water sanitation and no troubles . I had a very carefree,amazing couple of days m then I hitched a rude into New York City talk about a terrifying, uncivilized, rude place ! Bethal rocked , NewYork city seemed exactly like hell on Earth to me.
@@cardio0007 yeah, when you think about the cow dung that fell on that ground (a dairy farm pasture, right?) over the decades before Woodstock even arrived, wow. growing up, we kids who ''grew up" in it's aftermath never thought a lot about the highly unpleasant aspects of the event in favor of folklore, and playing the 3 LP set from '70 at high volumes.
Apparently, the phrase "Black Is Beautiful" was a fashion statement about wearing black clothing. Who knew? lol
The poorest video about WoodStock I have ever seen, as mentioned most of the photos were modern! The video should be taken and the people that produced it should be barred from posting anymore vids on UTube!
It was 1969. I just turned 18 and was an adult. My Dad said ," The only wood you're going to stock is in the woodshed for this winter. It's not going to be safe,too many people, no bathrooms and crimes are going to happen."
Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day!
The rain was from Hurricane Camille that wiped out the central coast. The food or what they had of it was from Wavy Gravy and the Hog Farm commune. It was great.
Must have been crazy to experience Woodstock. To bad today it's gotten dangerous to even attend a small concert.
It could never happen again - it was based on loving one another not the mean, racists, political crap of today.
I had the full VHS copy, wow, it was a ball, it's like you can actually touched the musicians, that tape had the best quality and the beginning with Richie Valens, you know the black guy with the long beard singing "Freedom" and he did it live, right there on the spot ,awesome; to Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner with his guitar, it was awesome. The notes from JH guitar were talking the words, with all kinds of bands and singers in the middle: Santana, Janis Joplin, Sly&FamilyStone, it was so many that I just got brain freeze, damn.

Your comment is the best part of this video.
Thanks man I really enjoyed that. Brings back great memories of a time when people got along and grooved together no matter who you were or where you came from.
And they called it "The Summer Of Love" NOT "Black Lives Matter"!! This group has never openly said anything about Loving one another .
You're living in a fantasy world man. People didn't just all get along. That was the big lie. Many hippies had an idealistic fantasy view of what they were trying to do, but many just refused to deal with real life and just escaped through drugs and ignoring what was really happening around them, rejecting reality and substituting their fantasy.
This is as accurate to what I remember as showing a pic of a Peterbilt cabover and Box trailer, and calling it a VW Bus.
Somebody needs to tell this gent that the concert in Bethel, NY. was in 1969, not 1959. I know, it's just ten years, but Jimi Hendrix was only about 13 in 59.
Biggest mistake in UA-cam history when it comes to the year of the Woodstock festival and I want my MTV back the way it used to be.
“Tie DOWNS”? NOT.
They’re called Tie DYES
With all the ridiculous errors in this video, perhaps the narrator had too much Thai stick????
It's good to hear and see all these memories of Woodstock on UA-cam . I have written a screenplay which starts at this festival and develops into a generation spanning rock n roll romance. A psychedelic VW hippie bus is also featured. Atlantis Outpost by Richard"Von"White.
Lovely video! Thanks for sharing Viral Nater ❤
Not only did you get 90% of your facts wrong, at the end that guy that you just pointed out on the motorcycle in the vest wasn’t just a random guy, that was Marty Lang, one of the producers!

10:35 that's Michael Lang the main promoter. RIP Michael 🎶💕
1969...like, the year is most probably the most important thing. Woodstock epitomised the whole Summer of Love..good grief.
Love?? The most brutal time of my life. Worse, social engineers forced us to integrate with undesirables. It did not end well. We even lost that war!
the last picture of the guy on the motorcycle with the girl next to it. the guy was one of the promoters
Richie Havens composed his song “Freedom” on the spot
This presenter was clueless, making several gaffes, and many out of context comments that were laughable.

An absolutely legendary festival. The award for sticking out like a sore thumb compared to the other performers goes to Sha Na Na!
