" ... absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Woodstock ..."

[mogster]

"The Woodstock Music and Art Festival was a rock festival held at Max Yasgur's 600 acre (2.4 km²) dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York from August 15 to August 18, 1969. For many, it exemplified the counterculture of the 1960s and the "hippie era". Many of the best-known musicians of the time appeared during the rainy weekend, captured in a successful 1970 movie, Woodstock."

I didn't want to put in the Britney vid in the 99 section, until I found this:
Sha Na Na - Duke of Earl (Woodstock)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaamANbj8EM

Shows that coreographed dance was a part also in 1969. Watch the reactions of the people in the crowd, lol

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. Yeah, no one knew WTF that was all about

it was such a weird scene when they were on.

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

19. So Beautiful! Crying with joy!

Seeing Sha Na Na doing Duke of Earl just sent me back... So Fine - those guys in gold lame suits could Move, man! That guy in the middle was positively Elegant, the way he handled the mike and spun so fluidly, gracefully. And the stage was crawling with cables - not taped down or anything...

And the redheaded kid - so funny, just trippin', his jaw slack, with a little curl of a smile - probably high as a kite.

Damn that was a lovely era. We were more social, then, as a country. Kids just hung out all day together, talking and kickin', playing guitars and singing. Being. Thinking Great Thoughts, trading copies of Siddartha and Krishnamurti. I think the average person is much more lonely now than back in the '50s and '60s.

3. To the Greatest!

9. Brittany Spears was at Woodstock 99?

What the hell?

[mogster]

17. Ya

The commercialist aspect was high during the two later festivals.

[Ignacio Upton]

10. I fuckin' love Jamiroquai!

However, Woodstock '99 was just one big mistake and commercialization of the original (well, so was Woodstock '94, but the '94 event didn't turn into a riot/rape mosh pit like '99.)

[mogster]

14. Yeah, that's a good point

It's a big difference between the original event, that barely came about, arranged in a spirit of amateurish (but very charming) gung-ho, and the commercial glitchy events of 94 and 99. I think the people taking the initative had something else in mind, but then commercial forces saw that this could be exploited for profit. Anyway, I don't think you can repeat an event like this 'on order', it has to come about spontaneously.
Different generations, different ways of being alternative, maybe? Did you see that U2 vid some posts further up?
I have one foot in the 80's punk generation; nihilism and explosive 'un-music' as far as spohisticated performance go. And one foot in the cynical generation, the 90's children of capitalism. The third foot I have in the 60's... oh wait..
*Foot analogy aborted due to not enough feet*

Truth is, I'm influenced by several generations in the past, my own generation, and also appreciate the new comers of the present.
The 94 event was more of a spontaneous event than the 99, made in the spirit of peace seen from post-communism Europe. In 93 the future was so bright you had to wear shades because there was peace all over, and peace was progressing in the ME and also in the former Soviet union.

[femrap]

11. Wow...that really took me back to

some good times. Thank you so much!

[Morgana LaFey]

20. Me too -- almost an altered mental state just thinking about it.

Whew. Those times, I mean. I wasn't at Woodstock. Sigh.

[femrap]

25. I remember going to the movie, Woodstock,

with my three girlfriends. And I actually remember the first time I ever heard "Purple Haze." I was at the Ohio State Fair and some garage band under a tent started playing it...and I felt Whoa! This is something totally different.

I feel sorry for kids today...cuz I don't think they have a very nice culture to grow up in...we had The Beatles, Woodstock, Hendrix, good pot, Women's Liberation where breast implants were absolutely unheard of...I'm glad I'm old...I wouldn't want to grow up today.

[SalviaBlue]

18. This is fantastic!!!

Thanks for posting. I am going to have so much fun watching all of these over the weekend.

[troubleinwinter]

21. Thank you, Mogster, for the wonderful gift!

And also for the very special "Norway surprise" (oh, those wild and crazy Norwegians!) with the "very heterosexual dress"! :rofl:

Thank you, friend! :toast:

[mogster]

24. He was good, wasn't he?

LOL!
I'll post a comment with the url to this thread :-)

[blues90]

23. Makes me sad to go back to those days .

I was so hopeful back then and this country was such a different place . I was also scared because I was 19 and waiting for that greetings letter from the draft board . Everyone had to register and take the physical at 18 and then wait if you were 1A .

I lost a few good friends to that war , ones I still miss and to think they were only 18 .

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

26. kicking for the kids!

[tomg]

27. Great job and thanks for the links.

I always felt that we ( people in my generation- I was born in 49 and at Woodstock - my kids were at 2 and 3)had a choice at Woodstock and it came when Hoffman called on us to get all the bands and people and just start marching on Washington and freeing John Sinclair ( admittedly impractical) and Hoffman was a tad incoherent (as opposed to the rest of us who were oh so rational.) The choice came when Townsend knocked him upside the head with his guitar. Townsend has said that he didn't know it was Hoffman, and it is true enough. But a lot of us in the crowd did, and a lot of the crowd cheered when Hoffman went down.

The only reason I say this is because it is sort of easy for me ( and just about everyone I know my age)to over-romanticize the political activism and social consciousness of the 60s at the expense of the supposed apathy of younger people. We had one major motivation that they did not: the draft. I wonder how many of us would have marched on Washington without the draft sort of prodding us. I mean somebody my age eventually voted in Ron, George I and George II.

With that said, Santana really kicked ass
