Too bad...I would have loved to see them pull this off.

I did an MS150 ride to Woodstock 25. The second day poured and they pulled most of the riders off the course because of lightening. I was one of 23 riders who finished. We got to to Yasgers Farm only to find mud rain some lousy music, and no food. Our change of clothes had been shipped to Woodstock firehouse where we got trucked. There about 150 bikers stripped down and we meandered until we found our dry clothes. It was an interesting weekend because the National Guard that was supposed to be assigned to support the ride got called up for? Yes Desert Storm! God hopefully blessed them!

I did not, but my brother had bought several tix for the infamous Powder Ridge Music Festival.

We didn't attempt going once we heard the news.

I forced my kids to watch the Netflix Fyre Festival documentary. I wanted my daughter to see how "influencers" work and that there is truly no reason to be influenced by any of them.

This and all the other "lets try and recreate the Woodstock experience" all fall flat on their faces
I wasn't quite old enough to go the the farm in 69 but my cousin and several of my older friends made it
You cannot create a once in a life time experience
Leave it be

If you can remember going, then it means you weren't there, man.

Came close. Had plans to go, then work and a summer class took the fun away. The friends I was going to meet did go, but not sure how I would have found them.
Did go to Watkins Glen in 1973. Even more people there. Pretty miserable by day 4.

 

[White Dwarf]

Been to Tanglewood a couple times. Close enough.

I met a girl from England in the city one weekend in the 80’s who happened to be a nanny in Woodstock. I ended up visiting her a couple of weeks later and we hooked up.
So I am playing the “ I got laid at Woodstock” card.

 

[Madmannsucks]

Yeah, let's face it. I doubt this anything to do with creating an experience. It was cancelled due to one thing(IMO)…..Money. Couldn't pull it off. This should have been in planning for 2 years.

Went to Tanglewood once. Got slipped some bad Merlot.

 

[CL82]

i did.

Hahaha ... of course you did.

Went to Tanglewood once. Got slipped some bad Merlot.

I think I was at that concert. Fortunately I heard the warning and stayed away from it.
"Hey man there's some bad merlot flowing out there... "

(Not sure but the guy on the left may be Fishy.)

 

[Jaker]

I saw Neil Young at Tanglewood.

Any boneyarders go to Woodstock?

Yep....got there on Saturday around noon by driving north on Route 9W, west over the hill and then south to within 3 miles of the site (I-84 was closed west of the bridge at Newburgh). Walked the rest of the way carrying 2 cases of beer with my buds. Stayed all afternoon and left around 12:00 am Sunday morning, hence missing the early morning rain. What an unbelievable day and education. After seeing scrawny ugly guys with the hippy babes bathing nude in the ponds along the road while we were walking, 3 of the 4 of us decided to become hippies that fall! It was truly an incredible 12-hour experience!

[very ESPN ad read voice]:

“Woodstock 50

Brought to you by:

Northrop-Grumman, a family company, bringing the world peace through strength since 1955

And

Exon-mobile: it’s a gas, man.”

Holy crap, I did not know that even existed (I was -9 at the time). Now I got something to do other than my job today. Many thanks!

I was at both Woodstock 94 and 99.

94 was one of the coolest memories of my life.

99 was an out of control disaster. I hated it. I left day-2. Exhausting heat, overcrowded, human feces everywhere. And the bros were out of control. It was like the exact opposite of 94 for me, which was rainy - but awesome.

They were going to charge $400+ a ticket for this, so.
