Melanie 20 Years After Woodstock Reunion 1989

[@thoranderson9958]

When I was 11, I heard lay down. Fell in love with her voice, as I listend, started to understand what she was saying. My introduction to the love generation. From her, I learned there is more than one, or another, but all. Many have said this, but none with such eloquence or beauty. Thank you.

[@MysticalMalissa]

RIP beautiful soul! I will never forget you at Bethel in 89, singing with you and Richie around the fire was one of the biggest moments of my life. Love and light to you. Thank you for being you!

[@lucyfaiella7220]

❤❤❤❤❤ ALWAYS LOVED MELANIE... JUST GREAT 👍

[@just1mansopinion]

Put Melanie in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame posthumously. It's an unbelievable shame that she wasn't inducted in her lifetime. Such a generational icon and talent! RIP beautiful soul. Cheers\=/\=/

[@valescobar5987]

Thank you. Yours make me sit back and just smile as a sense of peace surrounds me. Even when sung by you today, 30 yrs later. Thank you

[@valescobar5987]

An obvious shock at her passing Thankfully we still have her music. .Melanie was one of a handful of artists whose music left a lasting impression on a very young me. RIP Melanie RIP.

[@jeanniebaker9929]

Beautiful Melanie. This brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful people we need to come together again and stop letting the leaders of countries divide us as they hide safely behind their walled fortresses and armed guards. We need leaders who want peace and law and order not wars.

[@bkyardmechanic5010]

She is beautiful on inside and on outside. Lay down lay down love it. Ty Melanie

[@cliffdavis5244]

Love this❤️ Melanie’s singing voice is so soft and soothing! Beautiful!

[@axeelll]

fantastic - beautiful - great

[@dante777666777]

Heart and soul right here

[@brendanobern5535]

Melanie personifies a brief, magic moment that I was just old enough to remember; a new era of peace and harmony seemed actually possible. An age of innocence. What followed can only be described as cruel. Her spirit of innocence never succimbed. Thank you, Melanie.

[@kiwidinok888]

I was 9 years old when I first heard Candles in the Rain ~ Lay Down. Never forgot the words to any of her songs

[@earlseppala17]

so many wonderful comments dearest, im just another fan yet I imagine we all hold you up for ever dear Spirit as you well know from those days long ago when the music didn't die yet and then we were one again and everything back then before John left...my God dearest thanks for this I love you in the way of the corner of Haight/Ashbury where we first met...

[@scottewell9743]

Gawd ! What a sweety ! Just gotta love her !🎶🎶🎶🔥

[@christopherheaton1040]

I love Melanie. Such a wonderfull person. I met her once in Manchester and she invited me to her hotel for an after show party. Highlight of my life!

[@gdub999tub.]

She projects something that I can't even describe... Amazing.

[@johnangeloni2091]

I love her messages and voice she will always have a place I'm my heart

[@hansjohan3150]

So sad, so few people watching and listening this legend.

[@scottewell9743]

Rest well my friend! Love ya ❤

[@jackandblaze5956]

While listening to her song about her kids saying "oh mom, you're universal love is such a drag"....I'm thinking that when her kids look back to this time, they realize that she was probably the absolutely coolest soccer mom on the planet.

[@earlseppala17]

very nice Ovation you play dear

[@roberthanson579]

The vocals on Lay Down are spine tingling.

[@alnicospeaker]

YES! I wondered who else could sing it now that she has departed for higher realms?

[@danielpenn1734]

Sweety, your voice is not gone . We love you

[@tangobango9653]

Melanie is a national treasure.

[@paulpullini2067]

Love it. Where has this World gone? I was born in '71 the tail end I needed 15 more years on me.

[@mrsjourney22]

Welcome. I'm glad you made it.

[@danfurtado8034]

what a voice!!! no words can describe how much this touches me.

[@Randerson1958]

I ADORE Melanie I have since I was a teenager in the 60's what a Groovy era that was..The best era in my opinion..I was fortunate to have been a part of it...

[@doreenpinkerton1987]

So wonderful, what beautiful music. Such a sweet spirit this gal has, and a lovely team. Melanie is so artistic and talented in her creativity and unique style, filled with passion. She really supports togetherness and love! Thanks for sharing!

[@crazeedogs]

What a beautiful soul and how lucky were these people.

[@felipemercado8144]

I was 12 years old when I first heard this music from melanie which it was lay down lay down and candle in the rain I am from Nicaragua and friend of us brought this record to managua back in 1970, when she came back to Nicaragua from San Francisco California she brought this record to my nice and nephew and they star listening and was there when I heard it and really like friend of them came to united States when they were little with their parent and aunt, they send it to them and now I am 60 years old guy and I still listen this music through via yu tube.and still like very nice music Melanie.

[@ctguy1955]

I was fortunate to see Melanie live on stage, and I was standing at the center stage. Of course; I was 15 at Powder Ridge, and She was the ONLY one on the list that showed.

[@tradewins]

Nice to see someone acknowledge that. My friends and I drove up to Powder Ridge and found that the organizers had no money and no clue...yet there were thousands of people there expecting another Woodstock...but there was no potable water, no food, and the mood was turning ugly fast as people realized there wasn't going to be a concert. Melanie heard about what was going on and decided - unlike all the other scheduled performers - that money didn't come first on this occasion..and she showed up and played out of the love in her heart, and prevented a bad scene from becoming a complete disaster.

[@Justice-fe2xl]

I was her in New York. Small venue. Very sweet, and she sang so very beautifully. Just Melanie and her guitar.

[@josephmcardle9637]

By good luck I was part of that crowd that walked down Route 17 and on through the open gates of the Woodstock Concert. Melanie's music and poetry were imprinted on my brain. Happy to see that the spirit of that time goes on. Thanks for the posting.

[@j.dolanbyrnes2110]

I was on that crazy crowded highway as well. Tonight in Upstate NY I will see her again. She's so amazing!

[@gra6649]

She has the softest most beautiful eyes that I've seen.

[@leonardturner1136]

Great to see this,many thanks

[@markwright5426]

The voice.. soo beautiful

[@marialuciakaufmann4591]

J'aime Melanie depuis 1969 - Woodstock et son album "Born to be", son interprétation de Mr Tambourine man, et puis "The Saddest Thing, Beautiful People!

[@Kellyd2024]

Oui!

[@just1mansopinion]

Thank you for posting this treasure!! Cheers\=/=/

[@RandyR]

Far out, I was there. It was a magical weekend. Found most of the concert on a double DVD. Took me a long search. I am out there in the crowd somewhere

[@1mudholder]

Where was it held ?

[@lizzey7844]

When I was in high school all young girls had her album and wanted to look like her, her music touched us, it was so special. If only there was a rock n roll hall of fame for all the artists that inspired love and beauty in the world for young girls and boys growing into adulthood...So few out there that did this after the 60's- most just inspired sex and now only those that inspire sex and satanism are in the music industry.

[@hlodowing5561]

The Dream "can't must die"!!! Many, many Thanks sweet MELANIE, thanks sweet JONI, thanks sweet, JOAN : "I LOVE YOU"😊😊😊!!! The Old boy Today, remember again!!! Woodstock '70- Woodstock '89- The show must go on!!! A long Life to you, : HLodowing '55😊

[@ConfusedGoldfish-du7pq]

[@harrydelange1821]

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

[@andrewdale3695]

If this doesn't blow you away you have no soul

[@bobj5357]

She's still adorable.

[@RandyInCT]

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this!

[@bozolady18]

Thank you! We are out here!!

[@Gullyrats]

Thnxs Most pleasing, have followed Melanie for near 50 years, Wow just realised some tracks here MElanie sounds like indigo girls, they do a version of Mark Knoflers ROMEO & JULIET. All Brilliant.

[@groovyguru5314]

Absolutely wonderful!!!

[@beos22]

Thanks for sharing! Great performance and "Feeling"

[@tracidavis8991]

Thanks for this! amazing LADY

[@finnpetersen1066]

Wonderful 'n' beautiful!!

[@billywelliver4917]

Hi, you have the most relevant song for today: stop, I don't want to hear it". I hope you pass it on. I am in Portland, Oregon but a Florida native. Please share your music.

[@douglaskerins6030]

bless you Mel, I remember

[@corrybrouw-smetsers9858]

Gaaf nog niet eerder gezien..Top

[@PolHesher]

Amazing!

[@RavennaAl]

Woodstock. If you weren't there you don't know what you missed. And if you were there, you were probably so stoned that you can't remember it anyways.

[@zienonb3861]

I was there. It has been highly idealized by people who weren't. The concert was attended mainly by middle and upper middle class white kids who were in college and thus 50% of them were safe from the draft. No one would expect any trouble from that socio-economic demographic and none happened. There were bad trips aplenty. Psychedelic drugs were openly sold inside the boundary, but I got to see what happened to one of them who walked outside that perimeter. They were jumped by the New York State Police and hauled away.

[@davidstoney6667]

Kudos and 'Happy christmas'...always...

[@richardsmith6488]

What is it about Lay It Down? Makes me well up. Every version she sings.

[@douggriggs1499]

I was a bit disappointed in this version ... but I nearly always am whenever a group sings one of its big hits live ....

[@safkariet6671]

You're in my 💜

[@RandyR]

Since I was there an have the double DVD, I wonder if You Tube would allow me to upload it. I am not getting monitezed on my channel yet by choice. When I can get the time to add more videos, then maybe

[@joun2086]

wonderful :')

[@TristanandIsolt]

The Tribute to John Lennon is a great song. My first time hearing it. Is it called Soldiers of the Heart?

[@TheNashjim]

Yes the song is called Soldiers of the heart. Not written by Melanie.

[@TristanandIsolt]

Thank you much.

[@christophernewkirk9557]

The turnout is sad. Of course, this WAS during Reagan. Melanie is the voice I grew up with. This hope, this beauty. It is not lost.

[@OutGayMusic]

Go see her perform live now if you can. If you think that crowd was small 20 years ago, I was surprised how few people - a small dinner-club's full, in New Jersey (her home state!) - would pay to see her 3 years ago. The woman needs us all to return her love.

[@jitsu1109]

If this was in 1989, I think technically it was during Bush Sr.'s term.

[@americanpatriot9865]

Geeee .... It must have been Reagan’s fault for the poor turnout.... dope

[@1mudholder]

WTF does Reagan have to do with it ?

[@hmackie6823]

She has to be near genius

[@johnnybgood58]

I love you Mel

[@RandyR]

This is longer than what is on the DVD.

[@TheNashjim]

Randy R, I posted what I had.

[@richardsmith6488]

Wow.

[@hmackie6823]

u-tube her on Johnny Cash's show...Johnny is astounded by her

[@mosesmosestv]

Who could possibly vote this down?

[@ssy12335]

The original Stevie Nicks.

[@Nazarfest]

Привіт з України розуміння себе та процесів що відбуваються в всесвіті дякую за вашу творчість ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@pattyruggless7471]

I.was there.

[@davidstoney6667]

again,I had to Come-Back...lmsao

[@lbmill77077]

💖💕❤️

[@blahdeblah1975]

Before music was corporatized.

[@MyMomo17]

Wow I just thought Kelly Clarkson looks like Melanie.

[@jarodcarnarvon5198]

She looks good actually with the weight she put on when she got older.....

[@jarodcarnarvon5198]

Woodstock 1989??? That don't sound right, LOL

[@wdharvey1]

I always liked Melanie. BUT: looks like therewas a competetieion between her and Stevie Nicks! (Now, don't go cracking on my Stevie....I'll cut you!)

[@mgunde]

small crowd.

[@christopherheaton1040]

I love Melanie. Such a wonderfull person. I met her once in Manchester and she invited me to her hotel for an after show party. Highlight of my life!

[@nkel6111]

did she get the munchies far too often

[@bradleystevens1211]

horrible. Candles In the Pain By listening.

[@larciabella]

She's working it .....there's no choir behind her but she's working it.

[@snewpdoge9911]

Obviously BS was not a part of that time.
