50 years and this song still stirs up so many feelings. Thank you for having been brave enough to sing this knowing there would be consequences.

[@stephenchapman9198]

Remember in london in early 70s , me and my mates got into joe s dressing room , we had been refused admission to is gig for being to drunk! He sung 2 songs for us . great night great man , a late thanks.

[@system1912]

[@RadarProductions]

[@catholiccowboy8545]

[@joycesky2583]

Are you fucking kidding me??? I can’t believe I found Country Joe STILL singing one of my favorite songs from Woodstock!!! Yeah I’m STILL an old Hippie smokin some good green and I’ll NEVER CHANGE...Don’t want to!!!

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

I'm 58, but I sympathized with much of what hippies preached. Posting January 4, 2022. Peace out!

[@jaminova_1969]

Still relevant in 2023! Dad made it back but Uncle Joe was KIA! "Never forget!"

[@johnpauloreyes630]

Still feel the hippie spirit ❤️☮️

[@On_Dust]

I hope you realize how lucky we are for Joe McDonald playing for us.

[@hasancarlos1648]

Loved listening to this when I was in Iraq.

[@MadMajor666]

but this is a anti war song. why the hell do you went to iraq listenning to this? oh yeah.. oil

[@spongecooper3810]

@Major C There are plenty of anti war tools that became huge recruiting tools. Like that song “war what is it good for” and the movie Full Metal Jacket.

[@davisworth5114]

@@MadMajor666 we didn't get any oil out of Iraq you dope.

[@angusmeigh5141]

During the 2003 Iraq war people should have protested against that war in massive numbers like they did against the Vietnam war!

[@markhowards420]

@Peterpaul Andmaez a-wall ? It's awol - absent without leave...

[@BasedBrainrot]

imo joe macdonald is up there as one of the most underappreciated guitar players to ever live. fucking legend

[@jangidgetgillihan3775]

Love this song forever! Thank you, Country Joe!

[@DirkjeA]

How could anyone not like this? I think it is so great to see this wonderful musician perform still as if he was in his twenties. Hé mr. McDonald, my greatest respect to you. You really made a difference and not only in th USA but also in Europe, for instance in The Netherlands were I am from. We knew what this song was all about and it's importance. Again, it is great to see you are still alive and kicking. ❤️

[@johnmcquilkin]

As each each passes Country Joe McDonald's performance at Woodstock becomes more relevant. When we think of Woodstock we think of this song and Country Joe!

[@DerTodKommtImmer]

Great to see the OG doin his baby!!!

[@alfredenisz4775]

I first heard Country Joe in my Freshman year in college in 1968. This was before I attended Woodstock.

[@JohnHazelwood58]

my mum was 15 when she went to woodstock ... she loved it! ♥ ... made me a hippie as well! great area!

[@alexander20991]

It was a time , it was a feeling , it will never be that way again . We were young and bullet proof or so we thought , Bless Joe MacDonald and all our other heroes who helped us get through it and live to grow up / old . ☮ God Bless !

[@ismaelrodrigueziii6398]

I first saw this guy on the Woodstock film. He looks quite different but he appears to have aged well and his music playing is just as good.

[@rfurbacher]

[@johnnyp146532]

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay area when this song came out was pretty cool. And it came out right before I went into the military. It would’ve made a great cadence. Thanks country Joe, maybe catch you at the Fillmore up in the sky one day.

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

Hello Joe! Whataya know? How are things in Kokomo? Sorry, couldn't resist. Wonderful to see you and to know that you're still kickin'. Peace.

Country Joe and bandmate Barry Melton came to Vancouver to support the Georgia Straight underground newspaper. 1969. So yes, he was the real thing. A hero.

[@Apodicticus]

Back during the administration of George W, a bunch of us attempted to put together an IMPEACHAPALOOZA event -- never got anywhere, BUT, the only performer who actually responded to our request (through his agent) was Country Joe. I'll never forget it -- THANKS JOE!

[@saltybildo4415]

Country joe is the man

[@richarda7346]

Better than ever Joe !

[@rasheedazar]

If only this monumental anthem could outlive needless wars. At least it will survive alongside, like forever, man.

[@crappocrappoproductions-ak9403]

I was waiting for him to close with “alright”. It was a treat to hear Country Joe singing it again.

[@danielwilder6185]

Fantastic!! I am a woodstock hippie and I was 13 years old when woodstock was first getting some advertisement I imediately made some plans and decided that the only way I could ever go ws to just go. to run away from home (Austin TX) so I did. I hitch-hiked all the way from Austin TX to Pennsyvania where I got stopped hitch-hiking by the state police. They arrested me and called my parents back in Texas. Before my dad got all the way to pa to get me I escaped custody by leaving when they let me go outside in the rec yard. My dad was super pissed. It took 4 more days of very paranoid under-age travelling, but I made it and never regreted one minute of the mud or the nowhere to pee or even the unforgiving rain and pissed off atitudes
