As I’ve aged, I’ve become more and more aware of how much I truly love and appreciate the people who’ve been real friends. Now at nearly seventy I look back at who’s still alive and who have passed away, and I’ve come to the realization that I must let them know how I’ve always felt but never expressed it to them. If you feel like I do about your lifelong friends, perhaps you should send this song to them along with your thoughts. Our generation will always be remembered for great music with great meaning. This song says it all. Pass it along.🙏🙏🙏

I as well. The music at that time was the world moving. As time, bands and the last grasp of the real world as it truely was.. became by saving money over takin or preceededed by tech. grew. to drop the real meaning of ther time or perception for the love of money. Today special effects and other doctoring of the "Todays Music" no work at all. Effects and flashy gfis. Just vocials. Sing a song and we'll handle the rest. Used to be just a solo act of a person or band. It hit your heart and body as a personal experience.

[@gib59er56]

deb, check this out, Joe opened for Led Zeppelin the night before he was here at Woodstock. My mom was there in the mud. She clearly remembers Joe Cocker and The Who, Alvin Lee`s Ten Years After, Santana, and a few others. Alot of it she does not remember. They were probably too stoned. My uncle went with her and friends right after he got back from Vietnam. Talk about culture shock!!?? He came from blood and gore to peace and love!

[@presidentjames9811]

​@@gib59er56 Wow that sounds wild. What a surreal experience, two different worlds colliding for that man. What a time to be alive, it seems like that era with Woodstock was definitely a pinnacle of human enjoyment. Can't wait till we have an era like that in our time. 😄☮️ Probably will happen when psychedelics become legal in the US.

What can I say? This music .... from the 60s & 70s... and the early part of the 80s --- is unique in the history of the world ... not just the USA... The whole world of young people back then was in turmoil in seeing how the gtownups were treating each other and others; the environment, the planet ... a complete f*cking mess.... 50 Years down the road.... the same shit different milllemium God bless music .... the music that inspires the soul and heart of young .... Please go on....change the fucking world .... Take the torch and continue the labor of love .... there is nothing else to fight for ....

[@scotthunt2479]

What I didn't realize before is that several members of Joe's band in this performance went on to play with other notable musicians. Henry McCullough went on to play guitar for Paul McCartney & Wings, while Chris Stainton (who was magnificent playing organ in this song) later was keyboardist for Eric Clapton. Fabulous musicians, every single one of them.

[@niletoo]

when I first saw this 80000 yrs ago, I thought it was a wild jam, now 50 yrs later I see what a controlled and on time performance it really was.

[@RustyB22]

The background singers seem alittle nervous (understandably) but this is such a well rehearsed performance it is truly mesmorizing. This is truly a blessing to see/hear on my phone whenever (sorta) I want.

It’s so nice to see other people say it’s so emotional it brings them to tears! I remember when The Wonder Years made its debut and my Daddy getting so excited over the theme song they’d chosen.
