Nope! Woodstock was actually meant for some of The Baby Boomers.

It's not that she opted to go on the Dick Cavett Show instead of playing at Woodstock. She was booked to appear on the Cavett Show the Monday after Woodstock and her managers made her stay in New York for fear that she wouldn't be able to get back from Woodstock in time to make the Cavett Show taping. She was very upset about this, and it was in her New York hotel room that she wrote "Woodstock" while watching news reports of the event. If you listen to her own version it has a very mournful tone, rather than the celebratory sound of the CSNY version, because she was sorrowful she wasn't there. The ironic thing is that both CSNY and Jefferson Airplane played at Woodstock yet made it out in time to appear with Joni on the Cavett show. So she would have made it in time anyway. Stephen Stills appeared on the Cavett show with the mud of Woodstock still caked to his boots and jeans.


That's right .... I forgot that they were the other two featured guests on his show. I know I've watched that show on youtube and recall Stills  wearing the same poncho as at Woodstock.

Who cares if there is? Naked bodies are not some terrible immoral thing. We all have them.

Yes and its not a big deal but I dont think anything can be as good as the original woodstock.....

Back then, 50 years ago, you could prance around naked and especially wade in the ocean. I would show the pictures but we're trying to keep this as PG as possible. ;)

There are quite loads of crotch shots but I don't know if you could, you might. It was just a time to be free and let your hair down.

Actually, Cat, this is Woodstock 6, not Woodstock 3.

1969
'79
'89 (The Forgotten Woodstock)
'94
'99
2019

But '69 (for obvious reasons), '94, and '99 are the ones people remember.

As for guests, you think CSNY could quit fighting long enough to get back together?

Original Woodstock performers (still alive):
Grace Slick/Starship (Jefferson Airplane)
Joan Baez
The Who
Melanie
Arlo Guthrie
Country Joe McDonald
John Sebastian
CSNY
Santana
Mountain/Leslie West
The Dead & Friends (The Grateful Dead)
John Fogerty and/or Creedence Revisited
Sly and the Family Stone
Canned Heat (The original two lead singers, Alan Wilson and Bob Hite, are both dead)
Robbie Robertson
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Sha Na Na

Originally in talks to play Woodstock '69, but didn't play for one reason or another:

Jeff Beck (The Jeff Beck Group broke up)
Iron Butterfly (Special guest Doug Ingle?)
Led Zeppelin
Jethro Tull (Maybe Ian has lightened up about hippies)
Paul and Ringo
Bob Dylan
The Stones
Sadly, two members of The Who have passed on, Keith Moon and John Entwhistle.

Will Martin Scorsese direct a feature on the concert?

will there be a stream

No doubt the tickets will be expensive?

will there be a stream


Who knows but it sadly wont make it better though :(

I'll go if there are good enough artists I want to see. I remember being in Buffalo during 99 Woodstock. A complete sh!tshow from what I saw on the TV.

Who knows but it sadly wont make it better though :(


You can always watch the live concert from 50 years ago.

Lots of original Woodstock performers (and other from that era), no surprise there (except Country Joe McDonald is still alive? I hope he reprises his Fixing to Die Rag. "1, 2, 3, yeah, what are we fighting for?"). And a healthy mix of classic and contemporary artists.

I see that Miley Cyrus is on the bill. I guess that settles the question as to whether or not there will be any nudity at this Woodstock.

Awful lot of no-name acts on the lineup though...

Highs in the upper 80s/lows in the 60s

It's almost a given that Melanie is gonna sing "Beautiful People." We definitely need that song in 2019.

Never understood what's so shoking about nudie pics, it's just a human body. Maybe if you're like 6 I would see why, but otherwise...

Well, there’s that too.

Woodstock just got shot down by The Man, man.

Woodstock 50 cancelled by investors

On Monday morning, Billboard published a statement from Amplifi Live, a Dentsu Aegis division, that read in part: "Despite our tremendous investment of time, effort and commitment, we don't believe the production of the festival can be executed as an event worthy of the Woodstock Brand name while also ensuring the health and safety of the artists, partners and attendees. ... As a result and after careful consideration, Dentsu Aegis Network's Amplifi Live, a partner of Woodstock 50, has decided to cancel the festival. As difficult as it is, we believe this is the most prudent decision for all parties involved."

Frankly, I'm glad this happened. Woodstock was a one time event, case closed. It cannot be recreated, given that so much of what it was happened by accident and serendipity. To have it simply reduced to a "brand" is anathema to the 60s ideal that spawned Woodstock in the first place. Michael Lang has been living off of the fumes of Woodstock for the past 50 years and he needs to give it a rest now. If they want to have a big concert go and have a big concert. Just don't call it Woodstock.

I agree...... Music is crap now.... Not worthy of "WOODSTOCK"

Woodstock 69 was fabulous
Woodstock 94 was ok

The rest sucked!!!!!!! (I dont just say that cause of digital...... The music isnt as good,etc.....)

Shoot. And here I was planning to see more shocking nudity from Miley Cyrus.  :P

I agree...... Music is crap now.... Not worthy of "WOODSTOCK"

(I dont just say that cause of digital...... The music isnt as good,etc.....)


I couldn't disagree more... unless you only mean crap like Justin Bieber and not good music like Halsey, BTS, Billie Eilish, Blackpink, Bahari, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Khalid, Normani. Just because it's not as good as old music doesn't mean "It's not good, period." Or maybe I just have a higher tolerance for it.

I think it's a good idea that it was canceled, it's impossible to create nostalgia that once was from 50 years ago. That was 1969, we're heading into the 2020's and most of the artists that were there in 1969 are now either have passed away or just declined to be at the event.

Yeah I think that Woodstock should be left as it is really. No more rehashes, just let it be that one time event that happened in the 60's!

Exactly!

Just re-release the Martin Scorsese's movie


Just a correction---the "Woodstock" movie is not Martin Scorsese's movie. I don't know how that meme started. Filmmaker Michael Wadleigh made the film. Scorsese, whose career was in it's infancy at that point, is credited as only one of seven editors involved. A rather minor role.

Here is an article from Fortune magazine that makes very valid points about why this  so-called "Woodstock 50" will not and should not take place:

You just can't create the magic from what it used to be 50 years ago, like the saying goes, "Leave the memories alone".

I repeat yet again, Martin Scorsese never made any film about Woodstock. Scorsese's main career didn't begin until the early 1970s. He wasn't anybody of any note in 1969, and certainly would not have been a director of a movie about a major event like this. The famed "Woodstock" movie, released in 1970, one year after the concert, was made by Michael Wadleigh. Scorsese is credited as one of seven editors of Wadleigh's film, which is a very minor role to say the least. It certainly isn't HIS film by any means. Neither can one just "watch the original 1969 concert", as is sometimes put forth here. The movie condenses a three (four, actually) day festival into three hours. And it does it well. But it's just a small distillation of the entire mammoth event. Do not confuse it with something like Live Aid in 1985 which was broadcast from beginning to end on MTV, and survives in it's entirety on videotape.

Likewise, the triple "Woodstock" album that was released  (and it's followup, the double album "Woodstock 2") is just a cross section of some of the performances.

HOWEVER, in conjunction with the 50th anniversary, an audio CD set is being released of the ENTIRE concert. 38 CDs, 432 songs. I never thought I'd see the day. Of course, it will retail for close to $400.  :o

Thanks, with all these years come by, I always thought he directed or was one of the directors of that film.

You might be confusing it with 1978's "The Last Waltz" which is a Scorsese production from beginning to end and is widely considered one of the best concert documentaries. I never thought it was as big a deal as everybody makes it out to be, but it's certainly a decent watch. Some of the  "Last Waltz" performers including The Band (who the documentary is about) and Neil Young played at Woodstock also.

John Sebastian dropped out? What a bummer. I was looking forward to him opening up the show, singing the theme song from Welcome Back Kotter.

On the other hand, this provides more time for Miley Cyrus to extend her set.

Today officially marks the 50th anniversary of the first day of Woodstock.

I have figured it out (with the help of an article I read-I think in the Washington Post). Woodstock was just a magical moment. People who didn't go to it, WISH they did and there were a few people who CLAIMED to have gone when they didn't. Yeah, there were problems-the rain, the mud, the traffic, and fact that a few people died, when they turned it into a free concert p!ssed off the people who had paid, etc. But what made it magic was the fact that most of the people there were tired of the war and they wanted peace. That was the theme of those 3 days. All of those people pretty much lived in harmony that weekend.

Over the years they tried to recapture that magic but it never worked for several reasons. First and foremost is because they tried to do it to make a buck. In 1999, they sold water for an outrageous price. The water system wasn't working too well so you couldn't really get water out of the water fountains. The bathrooms weren't working right either. And those so-called "mud people" who were frolicking in the mud puddles, they didn't realized that there was human waste in those mud puddles.  8-P  And then there were the sexual harassment/rapes.

The original Woodstock was never about the money. Every one after was ALL about the money-it was never about the peace and the music. That is why they can never recapture that magic.
