| I was 17 years old when the concert was held and I missed an opportunity to attend by choosing to work instead. I have regretted that for a lifetime. As the years passed I always paid attention whenever I heard or saw something about it. Although I did not attend I believe I have watched & read everything about it as if I were there! |

My thanks and sincere appreciation to all who contribute to this site. You make possible a connection to the people, the ideals, the music, the harmony of that event for those who, like myself, could not attend.
I was just 11 when Woodstock’s magic weekend unfolded but even from my suburban, middle class childhood home, I had at least some vague sense of the things that the organizers, artists and audience were communicating. Ironically, my greatest interest in the event has developed in these past few months, sparked by Ang Lee’s film and becoming something of a personal obsession. I am enjoying as much of the music and event personal anecdotes as I can find via the net. I think the reason is my very poor health and resulting semi ’exile’ in my home; experiencing Woodstock through the eyes, words & music of others is, in a way, liberating. Freedom!  |

| I was at the Woodstock Festival, had to walk the last 7 miles to the stage, leaving my cousin and his friend behind with their car. Arrived at the stage area in time to see the end of Arlo’s set; then all of Joan Baez’ set, and tried to go to sleep in front of the stage, but couldn’t because of the light rain. Then they started making announcements from the stage paging people, so I had my 3 friends from New Haven paged and Kirby yells at me from 5 feet behind me! Crazy. We found a dry place under a truck next to the stage where Kirby went to sleep, but I just wandered around all night digging the extremely mellow, gentle, loving atmosphere. Sadly, my friend felt compelled by the bad conditions to leave before noon the next day, so we never saw any other music acts; but I got what I came for, namely, the experience! -And it will always remain one of the best and most important moments in my life. |

Hello
Just love your site !
I have been working in heritage preservation all my life, influenced so much by the Woodstock festival, and spirit.
I was 19, and a canoe ranger in Algonquin Park Ontario that summer, and so could not attend...but I was captivated by the whole event, and its after effects, which influenced my life, and thinking immensely.
I have been involved in organizing concerts, events and festivals ever since.
Congratulations on all your hard work at trying to keep the values of Woodstock alive, and for working hard to preserve this cultural landscape. Some times when a place, or event is so close to us in time, we tend to think that it is not �history�. Woodstock certainly was an important iconic event in contemporary history, with so many impacts.
Thanks again
Regards

“Hundreds of Acres to Roam On” - That was the catchphrase in the original Woodstock advertisement. It’s our hope that we have provided, exactly that, for you, through our web pages. Our objective for this website, is that everyone who visits, leave with a “little something” - maybe a sparked interest, a rekindled memory, or an assurance in knowing that ordinary people can make a difference. It is our way of preserving the legacy of “Woodstock.”
Please sign our guest book AND We welcome your thoughts and comments.
Thanks for stopping by, and we look forward to seeing you again, soon! |
