But I love the 1970 documentary film, which does a pretty good job of capturing the atmosphere, I think. Joni always said that she regretted not going -- as I recall she was invited, but her managers convinced her to stay in New York for an appearance on the Dick Cavett show instead. They were afraid she couldn't get there and get back in time given the transportation gridlock.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-71737868554248903312019-08-17T09:33:31.453+01:002019-08-17T09:33:31.453+01:00You were there!

If you look it up you will only see a totally different kind of festival that is held there now. For a few years after Woodstock there were several smaller type rock festivals held in many places around the US. My memory is that the music brought the people together but the highlight was the people as much as the music. I moved to California for two years after that weekend where I continued to see many big groups at the popular Winterland and other places. There were known acts at the Texas Festival but I am sorry to say I can not name them for certain because all the groups I saw run together in my memory and I don't remember which ones I saw where! That is sad I guess, but such were the times!

I was a brand new bride to a rather conservative, foreign born young man (opposites DO attract) and did not go to New York State that week-end. But, the memories of what we heard and saw on the news are no less potent. I remember that it poured rain and yet there were no people angry with one another because they could not find a dry spot. I remember that there were no arrests, no fighting, no thefts. Only peace. While the dreadful war continued, there was peace and love and order in upstate New York. And, the music! My god, what music! I remember, most of all, Joe Cocker! Nobody had ever heard of him and all of a sudden, his message was pure gold. And Janis!!! Wow! Gone too soon, she was. <br /><br />This was when people my age were beginning to grow up and we would soon come to realize that our government was lying to us, we could not trust them and they were sending our friends to be killed and maimed for no good reason. We were angry and looking desperately for direction to our lives and our way of life in the face of destruction. We unknowingly were trying to teach about peace and harmony and love. <br /><br />It was all over too quickly and we returned to war and protest marches and struggle for equality with great hope for a better future.

So many thought-provoking songs. It's almost impossible for this generation to appreciate just how life-changing events like Woodstock were. <br />We could only watch, and wonder, from afar.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-26452267562322682852019-08-16T17:45:15.240+01:002019-08-16T17:45:15.240+01:00Joni Mitchell was one of my and Greg's favouri...Joni Mitchell was one of my and Greg's favourite singers.

I do remember that we had a young priest taking us for geography lessons at that time as part of his teacher training programme. For one lesson, he showed us a short film of the San Francisco hippies. I am not too sure what we learned from that in terms of geography but it made a change from the usual text book lesson.JayCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373622852406554111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-91590926265871841352019-08-16T09:19:41.276+01:002019-08-16T09:19:41.276+01:00They were right up in my abdominal cavity.They were right up in my abdominal cavity.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-34376646073980376092019-08-16T09:18:37.800+01:002019-08-16T09:18:37.800+01:00Some things are better these days Briony.
