A gathering like this will never happen again. Where can you get a half million people together and have that type of unity?

How have we gone from the spirit of Woodstock to the world of war we see today? Love and peace to all boomers.

I was 11 years old and remember Woodstock being reported on the news in Great Britain. It seemed a fantastic experience, but I was too young and 3,000 miles away. I’m 66 now so those attendees must all be in their 70’s now. It’s a lifetime ago, but we still talk about it. The festival summed up the feeling of the age.

I'm 70 now lucky to survive this long. Burnt in my heart the love of the flower power generation. Drugs were pure and free. Humbled to have been part of the love child generation. Sly put on the best act. I wanna take you higher!!! Love and light to all involved in playing this pod cast. Peace.

I was in the Air Force at the time, stationed at Reese AFB in Lubbock, TX. A fellow medic and I rode our BMW motorcycles up to the 3-day Denver Pop Festival (DPF) during the last weekend in June, 1969, WAY outside our mileage limits. As more groups signed to perform at Woodstock, they were announced during the DPF. Because I had taken a 3-day "leave", I didn't have enough "leave time" to go anywhere in August, so I missed it. However, my roommate from Woonsocket, RI, went. He described the Woodstock event as "unbelievable!" In other words, he was blown away by his experience.

I was 19 and living in UK, Woodstock was huge, everybody talked about it for years. Sadly by now many attendees will be dead or like me in early, mid, or late seventies.

i went with 5 friends after seeing Led Zepperlin at the flushing meadows ny pavillion (65 worlds faitr). we drove to the monticello race track exit on the ny thruway and parked the car at the exit we then walked about 12 miles to the site! what a blast! i ran into so many friends from my Long Island home, it was amazing. The movie- "Taking Woodstock" was realistic as it could be and people should see it to get a taste of the scene. Out of 45 of us i guess 5 are left due to our wild lifestyles of "turn on, tune in and drop out (drop dead)".

A friend made it to Woodstock - "Hey Ziller, get your old man's Combie, we're going to Woodstock'. Nothing organised, just 'hey man, let's go'.

I went to Woodstock, rightly called the Bethel Festival despite Woodstock being acossiated and getting credit to this day for the event they rejected! Unfortunately the darkest side of the fastival was the garbage left behind! It seems wherever humans go mountains of garbage appear!

I was 17 and it was the greatest party I've ever been to in my life. The following yr. got in a bit of trouble and was forced to join the service. Ended up in Nam. Not such a good party.

I remember seeing a photo of a naked bottom in the 1969 article on Woodstock in a Time magazine read at a reading room in Palani a temple town in South India where I now lived as a sādhu meditating in the era of turning East. As a New York ex-pat - I arrived overland from London in 1967, Summer of Love. Satchidananda was a former mill manager from nearby Coimbatore and I knew his relatives. Now age 78, back in India for good. 😊

How thankful I am that I wasn't there in the midst of the rain, mud, filth, drugs, chaos, heat, shortages of food, water, medical supplies, the difficulties getting there and leaving, etc. i was home enjoying peace and quiet before heading off to college.
