Meet the couple from the iconic Woodstock album cover who are still together 50 years later

"This world needs more Woodstock!" has to be one of the greatest quotes EVER!!! I LOVE this clip!!!

Wouldn't that be nice? Thanks Sean

[@mgmassey174]

Absolutely..we do need more peace and agape love.

@james c - thanks for listing these. There is also the Electric Forest festival at the end of June in Rodbury Michigan.

[@daviddorward7684]

Especially like ths comment and sentiment. I did not attend but remember the event well. With all that seems to go on in the US today (I am Canadian) there certainly needs to be more Woodstock in 2019.

Bobbi is one intelligent, warm woman with all kinds of depth. Peace and love to all.

The Vancouver Sun, CTV and the National Post have published texts with photographs of Jessie Kerr (with the very same prescription glasses) where she explains what really happened.

Im 65, heading to Bethel Woods July 8 for Jewel & Train concert. I was only 12 in 1969 so too young to be there. But by time I was 14, its music was played at my high school cafeteria every lunch period and thats how I learned about the music. We all must thank Max Yagur. Without him, no concert. May he rest in Peace.

No kidding, i often look at the many well known pics of that weekend and that one especially, and often wonder who they were and are they still around. And here we go, now i know. Great video, so enjoyed meeting these people through pixel. And hope you two have many, many more happy years together. PEACE.

[@curbozerboomer1773]

But kinda sad too...they are just a little too typical of older Americans now....basically, way too fat and unhealthy-looking.

[@AuroraBoarder1]

I was an 8 year old kid recently transplanted to the ghetto when Woodstock 1969 happened. I didn't even know about it until 2 years later. I'm glad I live in an age where I get to enjoy it in retrospect; my brother gave me the DVD for my birthday, and on August 18th 2004, I flew from Hawaii to LA to see Incubus in concert.

[@beautifulsmall]

I went to stonehenge in 1985, the world has enough love .we all need a place to be free in. maybe the lockdown will let us all find beauty in the spaces we have and more in the spaces outside, the parks and gardens , even the street, every seed needs water.

The photo is @2:14. How cool is that! And for something (Woodstock) that seemed so self-centered and self-destructive, this is a marvelous story of endurance and profound love & commitment.

[@klaasj7808]

im glad they mention their friend every time, even now he passed away. they also mentioned him in 2009. Vietnam vet, just came back. He is in the background on the ground, maybe fighting his demons, maybe some flashbacks.

[@harveydharma8188]

. Said Woodstock experience, yes I agree , was like being put into a time machine and a powerful bolt lightning stayed real long hitting the ground non-stop; the passion of everybody else on stage were altogether profound. Love and Respect. And another yes, it was like a holy grail that defined what it feels like --- when being freed by the golden years of rock music. This was an authentic masterpiece work of art.

[@TheRockerxx69]

Lovely !!!! Bought the 3lps in 1970. Now l know who had the cover shot

[@spiritof6663]

RIP to Bobbi Ercoline, I thought it was charming and inspirational that she and her husband re-created the famous pose every morning when they woke up and every night before they went to bed. Their story is a beautiful postscript to the festival.

[@karmikmike2878]

i work at Bethel Woods......the site of the original Woodstock, although not this year due to the virus.... all shows cancelled or postponed till next year...... i had the pleasure of meeting these two(Bobbi and Nick Ercoline), two summers ago. They were historical liaisons to the site, and would give tours from a golf cart, to any artists and their family members or friends, or tour staff that wanted to see the site and get a history lesson about the original event back in 1969. I got to meet and talk with them when they offered me a ride in their golf cart from the backstage area up to my car that was parked in the stagehand parking lot(yes, i am a stagehand there)after a brutal load in, which completely tuckered me out.......normally, i would walk up to my car after a load in.................in their golf cart, they kept a copy of the original vinyl LP (with the photo of them on the cover), which they would show to whosoever they were giving the tour to, while explaining all about the event. Needless to say, i loved talking to them and was thankful for the ride up to my car ...... i hope to see them up there again next year ......

[@scotttempple541]

[@baks2797]

There is wayyyyyyy to much anger in todays world to have ANYTHING like Woodstock.

[@indientis6003]

and too much attention-hungry selfish people who'd destroy the experience in seconds nowadays.

[@Peppers19781978]

Even back in 1999 we saw a huge difference. How greedy and horrible people could be. Candles handed out to support women who were abused. People decided to use them to set things on fire. People looted. There were assaults, women raped. You had the same person behind this as the original yet it became far more about corporate greed. Ripped the fans off with expensive food and water...and not enough water. Held at a airforce base on concrete. It was as opposite from 1969 as you could possibly get and 23 years later there hasn't been another, never will be again.

[@opinando68]

Those were better times. I wish I could go back in time!!!

[@longrider42]

There can never be another "Woodstock" The music would not be the same. And the reason's those people went to "Woodstock" was and its hard to explain. But if you look at the year of 1969, things where so different back then. I was 7 years old. But I remember seeing stuff on the news about Vietnam. I do want to visit that place before I check out.

[@dolphin19521]

Another Woodstock now would never be like the Woodstock I went to in 1969. People are different now and I don't think there would be the love and peace we had then.

[@Peppers19781978]

Sadly there will never be another. There was one in 1994 but the one in 1999 was as opposite as you could get from the original and the same person, Michael Lang, was behind it. Violence, assault, rape, looting, burning things down. Attendees ripped off with high food prices and lack of water...which have only skyrocketed. This was 1999. Sadly now it likely wouldn't be any better. It would be a like $500 a ticket, $6 bottles of water. It can never be the same as 1969 in today's world which is more divided than even in 1969 thanks to the internet and social media.

[@johnallenismynameandmusici2796]

When I started going to concerts in the Cleveland area it was $2 to get in. Then gradually it went up to like $5 and we were saying, "Nobody's going to go at that price." Kind of funny now. But $18 for 3 days of music was about right although it did seem expensive at the time. Little did we know. I've heard of people paying $1000 for a ticket to see Paul McCartney. There was no bigotry in those concerts. It didn't matter what color or race you were, we were all in it together. The music really kept us going from day to day and it was a terrible time, especially 1968. In 1970 they killed 4 and wounded 13 in Ohio and that was about the end of everything good.
