Sure but nobody knew that this footage existed. It wasn't a finished movie or anything. Just the tapes. I would have liked to see more of the discovery, but I guess that's all there is to it: something like his kids found all the tapes and asked what it was....

We projected it onto the side of our garage in the backyard, with the audio going thru a little guitar amp. That's a recommended viewing option, although the neighbors might disagree.

I never really understood the magic of Woodstock.   Congestion, mud, garbage.....

Up until Woodstock, there were the hippies (sons and daughters of mostly upper middle class white families) and the usual bohemian characters as well as the politicized, anti-war and anti-racism activists in the counter-culture.

Then the counter-culture went mainstream and everybody wanted to become cool.   A lot of those folks pretending to be cool  were not cool. 

Peace and love?  Violent is the word I would reach for.....    Then the use of illegal substances stretched well beyond cannabis and inner, spiritual exploration with a few psychedelic drugs to a lot more dangerous party drugs.   Promiscuity became a synonym for 'enlightened'.

Here we are, 50 years later... well, some of us. Unfortunately, I was not present at Woodstock, but the whole world  felt the vibe of love and peace and the music lives on, most of it the best ever! I often wonder how many of the people who was there are alive today, and whether they changed their views on politics, and whether they brought up their children in the same spirit. The fact that Trump is America's president today is mind boggling. 

Were you there, or your parents?

I think that this could be a generational thing. Some of the teens and 20 somethings were born of parents too young themselves to have been part of the "Woodstock generation".

I think the whole Woodstock thing peaked in the early to mid nineties when they were celebrating the 25th and 30th anniversaries of the festival. When the Berlin wall came down, there was a feeling that the paradigm shift that was going on then was similar to the late 60s. I think that what is going on now is more of the type of paradigm shift that we saw in the 60s, but nothing could really duplicate the upheavals that were going on in politics and culture at that time.

That is what drove Woodstock to be much more than a concert, it seems to me. Like Steeler said, it wasn't really about the music. It was about the convergence of events and culture and the "moment" that came and went that summer.
 
I concur most wholeheartedly. Even in regards fo the music I can remember, at the time it was going on, saying that the real music was happening, not on the stage, but in the woods and campsites. Woodstock was a gestalt. My own remembrances, that I wrote in my Journal Woodstock, 40 years on…, address the surrounding events and dynamics of Woodstock. The music, the whole experience of the festival, was a direct outgrowth of the culture from which the music emanated.

Interesting thoughts, these, and I especially concur with your last sentence. Nevertheless, for the past many weeks one cannot read a newspaper, a popular newsweekly periodical, cruise the Web, listen to rock radio, visit a B&N, etc., without having something about Woodstock in your face or ears. I would suppose that one cannot even visit a mall where there aren't Woodstock displays in the CD retailer windows.

There have also been other events dubbed Woodstock, such as the one my son attended a few years ago, and a new cultural center debuted over the weekend at the site. I suppose if one doesn't read anything, doesn't surf the 'Net, listens to terrestial radio that caters to particular cultures other than ours, and doesn't give a rip about history, that it would be possible not to know something about Woodstock. I can understand (barely) not knowing anything about Monterey Pop and all things San Franciscan (Haight Ashbury/Summer of Love/Bill Graham/fill in the blank), but in relation to this historical "convergence of events and culture" (which it truly was), I'm at a loss when it comes to a complete lack of knowledge about it.

I just found all of this to be very, very surprising, and it causes me to place the notion in my "wonderment bin" when I stop to consider what's happening to the world today (all-to-soon-to-be geezer that I am). Not that Woodstock should carry that much weight, but it was an historical bellweather of the '60s in much the same way as the Beatles paving the way for the British Invasion, and the former's complete cultural influence on those who grew up during that era.
 

You are right, of course. There are a lot of people focused only on their own narrow existences out there, to be sure. It is sad, really, but I don't think that over the course of history there has ever been a completely aware populace. There have always been, and will always be, people that are not aware of much of the world around them.

I'm not sure it's solely "being oblivious", I think it speaks to an educational failure. My impression (and it is my impression) is that a great number of Americans are ignorant of their history - political, economic and cultural. My evidence lies in things I read and conversations I have.

I am often told that, for a Canadian I seem to know a lot of American history. It's true that I am by nature curious. It is also true that I went to school in Ontario, Canada, at a time when the study of history was considered important. I left high school knowing a lot about the history of the United States, partly because it was important to an understanding of the history of Canada. Today, on both sides of the border, history seems to be treated as a frill.

That's sad, really.

 
That's because we are only interested in some tasty waves, and a cool buzz.

So they sign up with ridiculously early birth dates, like 1901. If they worry about getting the correct Chinese year sign, they'll pick something like 1917.

But, how owld is owld anyways?
