WoodStock 35th Anniversary

I have the DVD. I can imagine the body odor from the hippies. I also noticed a lot of brand new cars. Spoiled hippies. I wonder how many are now soulless capitalists?

Joe, You da man! You not only own a one owner Baldwin Motion chevelle, that was the premier muscle car factory of the 60's, but also you are WELL versed on the happenings of the era! And last but not least...you are a Goumba!! I nominate you for The United States Muscle Car, and historic decade of the 60's president. Living in N.Y you will be a shoe in.

It was a historic event of the late 60s' and I doubt it will ever happen again.

Didn't they try a Woodstock-like event at the former Griffiss AFB in New York on the 25th or 30th anniversary of the '69 event? I seem to remember that between the (angry) grunge bands, the (angry) metal bands, the sky-high price of food concessions ($8.00 water), and too few out-houses, the whole thing literally went up in flames in one big riot. They even had a huge mud pit and that scene went downhill fast with people throwing mud at the musicians on the stage. The police finally waded into the riot and started arresting as many of the hell-raisers as they could cuff together. VH1 did a documentary of the event and interviewed one of the rioters who had been convicted and imprisoned. Instead of admitting he had done anything wrong, he was only angry that he had been caught.

The Rolling Stones' 1969 Altamont (California) concert after Woodstock sealed the fate of huge, outdoor free concerts. Woodstock '69 was definately a one-time occurance.

Hey guys how about the Monterey International Pop Music Festival. June 1967. I was there as best I can remember.

How did Hendrix sound at Monterey ??

[427TJ]

I think Monterey was the first place Jimi set his guitar on fire. I think it was his first big show and he just blew everybody away. The movie documentary shows Cass Elliot (Mama Cass) in the crowd during the Hendrix performance and the look on her face was something along the lines of OH MY GOD.

Those Vintage Guitars --do make a nice fire---
I was watching a program called Antiques Road Show last year and a fella brought his Fender Strat Guitar to the show to be appraised--It had been autographed by JIMMI HENDRIX written across the Guitar face----Think they appraised it at $25k to as high as $50k at aution---
