Sobering to look back and relize this was the high point of civilization. From then on we became more knowlegable, more techno, more in control, more wealthy - and less human.

This musician had a major role in ushering in communism to the USA and Canada. More Government to help us stay safe was his duty. Don't be fooled.

Much is just the same. Young people of the age of those in the vid are partying and enjoying life just like in this vid. Other people are doing what they have to or what they can. Even many young people have same beliefs as the hippies in the vid.

Such an amazing glimpse into the past. 1969 really was the year for music.

[@rowbom]

1969 was an epic year for music and youth culture

[@codyherman2977]

I lost my virginity in my truck while this song was on. Oh to be 12 again lol. True story but I was really 17. This was my favorite song to listen to while smoking a joint and driving around town. If you can jam out to this song your ears are broken. Those are the days I miss the most. Being a stress free teenager with no responsibilities, spending each day with a cool buzz looking for a girl or party to get into. Most nights were spent sitting on my tailgate in the woods with a group of friends gathered around the fire passing around joints and drinking until you either get lucky with a girl or pass out all while some great classic rock is pumping through the speakers. If I had a time machine I’d spend my whole life in those days.

No artists that's identical or similar to Neil Young. Only the ones influenced by him could take a single note from him. But, Neil Young's THE real deal.

[@oppothumbs1]

This is the real, cleaner Woodstock. A happy holiday retreat from Crazy Horse and mud. Steve and Neil's guitars take us down to the wire just look around 'cause anyone who helped you out can let you down look out now as the voice is now the choir can you feel it getting down to the wire? Neil is so cool and cool looking to me with a mysterious and introspective aura about him and still a great sense of humor. The best songwriter of those times along with Dylan. Those times will never come again. Neil and Bob are good friends too

I forget the bass players name, but all praise to him, 'cause he binds it all toghether. In a magical way, he makes it move. And it's also funny to see how they all flock to Neil's guitar, magnetic, 'cause that's where it's sprouting from.

Crosby loved being onstage with Neil, its the massive overshadowing to his ego he hated...

[@oppothumbs1]

So true. I mean Crosby has what ? written 5 good songs and Neil has 60. Stills was off to a great start but something happened "there what it was ain't exactly clear" but he lost it to a great degree. Stills' wrote the brilliant Upside Down.
