Did anyone here go to Woodstock

[MrMikelobe1952]

I would like to chat w/ any Lit members who were at Woodstock. (The original one. The real one.) I know there are many members of our generation. I just haven't talked to anyone who was there in a long time.

I wish! I wasn't old enough. You can bet I would have been there if I were older. I'm envious. Would love to hear some stories from it.

I've always heard that if you can remember it, you weren't really there.

I wasn't there, but I'd be curious to hear stories, too.... why don't you post this in the playground?

Woodinville

No,

I went to this one though, almost a West Coast version.


On July 25, 1969, Boyd Grafmyre stages the Seattle Pop Festival, held at Gold Creek Park in Woodinville, northeast of Seattle. Over the next three days, 25 musicians and groups perform, including Chuck Berry, Black Snake, Tim Buckley, The Byrds, Chicago Transit Authority, Albert Collins, Crome Syrcus, Bo Diddley, the Doors, Floating Bridge, The Flock, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Guess Who, It's A Beautiful Day, Led Zeppelin, Charles Loyd, Lonnie Mack, Lee Michaels, Rockin Fu, Murray Roman, Santana, Spirit, Ten Years After, Ike & Tina Turner, Vanilla Fudge, and the Youngbloods.
Tickets for the event went for $6 a day or $15 for all three. More than 50,000 rock fans attended over the three days. Since crowds were larger than expected, extra water and food had to be hauled in on Sunday. Sanitary facilities were inadequate, but every attempt was made to meet county requirements.

Nearby neighbors complained of traffic and the hippie atmosphere, but Chick Dawsey, owner of Gold Creek, noted that spectators were orderly with very few exceptions.

"I disagree with their movement 100 per cent," said Dawsey, "but some of us adults better get the hell closer to them. They respond very much to kindness, we older people better learn this -- If they need a drink of water we, the establishment, should go out and offer it."

Thanks for the expressions of interest

But if I use this thread just to tell stories, then it will no longer belong in the Personals. It will have to move to the Playground where my request will undoubtely get lost.

(OH, it probably will anyway.)
Suffice to say that I did not have sex there.
(although I did see some naked women, which I'd seen very little of to that point)
but most of the rest of the stories have little to do w/ erotica.

well in august 69 I was headed there but if you remember the thruway was shutdown and me and several friends with it.now in 94 I was lucky since I live only 5 miles from it.and this summer I went to the original site which is now a very expensive ampitheather.actually I live in woodstock and the origial site was here but the village fathers objected to to dlyans proposal to host it on his old farm just a few miles from here.imterestingly john sebastian stayed here and lives for all intense purposes lives a few places from me..while woodstock is gone the rainbow people live on!I enjoy it here.a few years back my son comes home saying guess who I played golf with pops?turns out it was alice cooper ..and its not unusual on occasion to go to the market and bump into ulman and a few other celebraties.quite a unquie place..
