Do you know someone or knew someone who went to Woodstock?

I just saw a documentary about Woodstock on the History Channel a few weeks ago. It kinda made me wish I was there. The unity was amazing, and I couldn't believe that the only "violent" thing that happened there was some guy getting bopped over the head with a guitar because he wanted to jump on-stage. I think my generation really needs another Woodstock, just so that they will "get it," ya know? Something should have happened during these 8 years of war, just like in '69. But hey, the war is still raging; we still have time. :)

You must think that that woodstock you are talking about wa back in 1969. Suposing average age of people who were there was 20 to 25 at that time, while we are talking about an event 40 years a go .. so those "veterans" would have 60-65 years or more. I am not so sure so many people at that actual age are on the net ... Anyway, Woodstock '69 was a turn point for humanity. Had changed lifes, music, points of view .. and probably also helped to be created a special fbi/cia divisions to handle the anti-war issues :-P Anyway .. you are a 22 y old ? I feel proud of you ! So few young people of today days reach to aknowledge and appreciate things like woodstock '69 .. I was 5 at the time and also tousends of miles away .. but when I was able to understand what is happening around me, soon I find out about that festival I fall for it. One of my fav singers all-time are from those who were there .. Joan Baez, Country Joe McDonalds, Santana, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin and so on ..

I wasn't born when Woodstock happened but my boyfriend was there and the way he and others that I know talk about it, it was the concert to end all concerts. It had to have been amazing! For a lot of people it changed their lives. The people that met there, the people who had a trancendental experience, etc. My bf says there was even one baby born there at the festival and I am sure numberous babies were conceived during that event. It was probably the only concert where they announced over the sound system which acid not to take and had tents where people talked and walked people down off of bad acid trips.I think that there was a spirit at that event that will never be equaled at any other concert anywhere at any time.

I have not been. I really have no idea if anyone I know has been there. I think that it was great. With all the bad and ugly I think we need to have a Woodstock resurrection!!

Hi Bstuff No I don't know of anyone who went to Woodstock but with such a large crowd you would think someone would know someone who did, thats a good question I wouldn't be surprised if someone responded back to you here on Mylot saying that they either were or knew someone who was because as I stated earlier that crowd was so huge it looked like half the world was there LOL

i don't know anybody who has attended a woodstock concert. man, i would really love to attend one. i think it was woodstock '96 that i saw on tv several years ago and everybody was like having fun and people were going crazy. it will really be a great experience for me.
