God how lucky I was at 11yrs old....Thank u Jimi Hendrix 4 giving me such a great memory!!!👑✌❤🌎

This is amazing! I grew up across the Hudson River in Red Hook (Dutchess County. August 16 I turned 11 yo! The Grateful Dead played on that day, and in 1977 I got on that bus! 66 years young now, still rocking as a sober, organic plant based chef/ educator/ consultant. Blessings to all who attended and of course to farmers who saw and felt the love, and planning team for not giving up! In gratitude! Chef Al in Oregon 🌈🍉🙏🦅🌲

Thank you for releasing this comprehensive behind the scenes documentary on Woodstock. Since attending Woodstock in 69, I've devoured months and months' worth of books, movies, videos, and, of course, the recorded music. As well as being interviewed on this topic by NYT and many friends. If someone asked me what one video should they watch to get the best idea of the behind the scenes of pre through post Woodstock, this video may be the single best one to watch. Of course, many others contain some of the same material and are focused more on the actual performances and musicians. This video displays the "miracle" dedicated individuals it took to make it happen, and why we will unfortunately never see it repeated again. Thank you for taking me back to the garden one more time.

[@ronniedurie7752]

This was very well done! Better than I've seen anywhere. I tried to go in 69 but once my Mama got wind of me wanting to go it was LOVK DOWN! So I lived with that void in my soul for 40 yrs!. Then I went there for the 40th Anniversary and had the best time and I relived 1969 that whole morning until The Band Played last!!! The Museum there was so nicely done and I met some of the best fellow music lovers there! It was every bit a spiritual feeling and you could still feel the spirits of over 400,000 music Lovers still on that farm!!! I'm 70 now and I still wish I could go back to the 60's and just stay!!! Thanks so much for this Documentary!

[@garydodson3858]

I read about Woodstock while in Navy Bootcamp. Bummed out that I had missed the event of a century. Then the movie game out, I was in San Diego,. My friends were telling me it was being shown at a big theater with a Dolby sound system. By the time I had free time to go, it was over at the theater. Finally, months later, another theater was playing Woodstock and Let It Be at the same time. I went. Truly loved both films. Every chance I get to see the film and documentaries, I don't pass them up. It was an event to change the world. I'm sure it changed me. Much love to those who put it together. Likely, not to ever happen again. Sadly, a lot more hate than love in the world.

I was nine in 1969 and when my mom brought home the Woodstock album after it came out and I listened to it I couldn't wait to be a hippie and in the 70's that's what I did. I wanted to somehow capture for myself what I saw at that festival. It was nice while it happened. Today's world could use some innocent Woodstock love. Alas, but not to be.

In addition of going to Woodstock, I used to go into New York from NJ and go to the Fillmore East. Several times a month. Too many bands to write about here. I realize now how blessed my musical experiences were. Back then I thought it would last forever. (Teaser: One Fillmore show: The Allman Brothers, Love, The Grateful Dead (with Pig Pen in the band).

[@thomaslapham9350]

On August 7 myself and 6 friends raided the deli I worked at with what we figured would be enough food and drink to get us from Redwood City CA. To Woodstock NY. We had zero tickets but we’re all concert veterans and had traveled great distances to see concerts. I had a 58 Chevy truck that ran well and off we went leaving at midnight. We ended up with a couple more peeps when we left so 6-7 were riding to New York in the bed of a P.U. All made it but me. I hit a train trestle while cutting through a field in hopes of gaining time. We passed hundreds of cars before I hit the trestle . Incredibly , no one was hurt. All but me packed up the food and drink left and off they went toward the mass of sound and people! Without going into detail I had mass problems with the tow truck crew followed by the local troupers. Nuff said. Since then I have watched every bit of information on the concert. This is the best story I have seen presented that deals with how close this concert was to not ever taking place. Stuff Behind the curtain. Holy shit Crazy . Absolutely amazing this actually happened. My friends got hold of my parents and my dad came to New York and got me out of jail. All my friends had an unreal great time and hitched home w/o a problem. Time of their lives…7 days of Hell for me. Anyway, great video. Thank you.

[@DionSt.Michael]

[@nisiunavoce1264]

I was there, really, and as a participant of that momentous event, I've been interested in the history and backstory ever since. This was by far the best documentary I've seen. Much of what has been reported over the years seemed more based on the movie than the actual timeline of events. Thanks to whomever was responsible for putting this up.

[@martinledger]

It was a moment. Popular culture history. There was good, there was bad. But there will never be anything like it again!

[@tootiejamba]

I never knew this documentary existed. It's fantastic. Interviews look to be around 1993. It was Sept 1985 and I was 19 when I made my first pilgrimage to the Woodstock Festival site in Bethel, NY. My friend and I had decided to go camping out there somewhere and drive around until we found the field. No concrete plans as to where we'd camp, or even where the field was. We drove past the field and newly erected monument off West Shore Rd several times without seeing it or realizing that was the hallowed field! I remember we were up in the fields off Best Rd (off West Shore Rd) and my friend said, "what's the white spot on the field over there?". He spotted the monument from half a mile away, so we drove back there and got out and WOW! We found it! Remember, there was no Internet back then. No easy way to get information on anything. Everything was word of mouth and luck when it came to this sort of thing. All we had was a NY state map and a year old article from the Hartford Courant on the 15th anniversary to guide us. Anyway, we ended up staying at Happy Days Campground. Great place. I went back 2 years in a row, and then was at the 20th reunion in 1989, then went back while on a business trip in 2004. That time I was shocked and disappointed that they were developing the site for the museum and Bethel Woods. No more peaceful field. No more silence and soft breezes to sooth the soul. The site would be forever changed. I haven't been back since, but want to show my wife the area.

The decade of the 60's... was a tumultuous time in our history! "Woodstock" became the opposite of all the hatred, murders and sending of our youth to Vietnam to fight a senseless conflict we should have never been in. In many respects, Woodstock showed that ppl could come together even in a sea of humanity and somehow get along and make it happen... if only for short period of time! IMHO! Went to "August Jam" in Charlotte Motor Speedway in 1973 while in the Marine Corps, but it sure didn't compare to "Woodstock" by a longshot! Great documentary!

[@stevenotte3447]

To see the challenges, for the idea becoming reality, faced by everyone involved was enlightening. Now, if world leaders and politicians could learn the woodstock-way, it'll be over the top for all of humanity, teaching our children well, peace, love, no warmongering !

[@gavintuesday4959]

I would seriously hope not. Woodstock was a monumental disaster in terms of organisation and finance. They lost millions and only some promoters made money via the film They managed to avoid worse disaster solely because of the mentality of the public who decided to behave themselves and look after each other . Also, most people were off their faces on acid and dope. Imagine if they were on cocaine like today ? Their objective was to make a profit. They failed miserably You are too stupid to insult . Oh by the Way, some of these people were involved in Woodstock 1994 and 1999. The latter was a monumental disaster

One of my clients was there. He ‘borrowed’ his family business’s van on a whim and drove from Indiana to NY not even knowing any details. He drove right in to the artists backstage area with no one stopping him - cops even cleared the way for him! The reason why? His “company van” was a Coca-Cola van and they thought/ he convinced them he was an important vendor!! 😂😂😂 I never knew any of this til he was featured in a 25th anniversary retrospective in the local paper. When he got back no one would believe him and his friends. Except his dad. He was mad- not for ditching work, but for taking the van without permission! 😂 What an epic road trip. He said at first he couldn’t figure out why he was getting through while others were abandoning their cars. His buddy said, “We’re in a brand new Coke truck you idiot!” So from there they grabbed uniforms to put on from the back and told the cops at checkpoints they were contracted to serve the artists and urgently needed to get backstage. 😂😂😂

Thoroughly enjoyable documentary! I've watched and collected everything that I've been able to find about Woodstock, but I've never seen this! So many new stories and anecdotes that I've never heard or knew. As I was becoming a teenager in the early 90s, I became obsessed with 60s hippie culture and music. At that time, there was very little I could find about it aside from the music. In high school, a friends girl friend mention that her Dad had gone to Woodstock. It turned out he was a big acid head back in those days and couldn't remember much of anything, but he showed me the double VHS tape of the movie that I had previously not know had existed. He let me borrow the movie which I immediately consumed, watching wide eyed with obsessive fervour. Most of the music on the movie I had never heard before, and was completely blown away by. I filled 2 cassettes tapes recorded from the VHS of every piece of music on the movie, and listened to them for years. Over the years I've collected everything that has been released, even a collection someone put together in the 2000s of every moment of audio that had been recorded of the whole 3 days. Pretty Wild. I was sad that the 50th anniversary event fell apart, but I still bought the t-shirt as a memento. For years, every August I would watch the movie again on the anniversary. A bucket list item for me is to visit the original site. I'm thrilled they have made it a memorial area and even put a concert venue there. Woodstock will forever be a part of who I am as a human.
