Woodstock, 55 Years Later｜Vinyl Monday
We are stardust…we are golden…
Welcome (or welcome back) to the Vinyl Monday WOODSTOCK MINISERIES! This is usually my weekly series where I give the who/what/when/where/why and how I feel about classic albums in my collection. But for the next 3 weeks I’ll be examining the cultural impact of 3 days of peace and music, held 55 years ago this week. What better way to kick things off than reviewing the Woodstock film and soundtrack (1970)? Subscribe for more Vinyl Monday and vintage fashion!

This episode is dedicated to the Woodstock Generation:
to those we’ve lost; including Jimi Hendrix and Mitch Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Alan Wilson and Bob Hite, Jerry Garcia, Keith Moon and John Entwistle, David Crosby, Paul Butterfield, Max Yasgur, Michael Lang, and Bobbi Ercoline. RIP – it up, tear it up, have a ball.
to Michael Wadleigh and the men and women of his crew who so diligently captured history through their lenses,
the half a million strong,
their millions of children and grandchildren,
and all those today who keep the spirit of those 3 days of peace, love, and rock-and-roll alive. We are stardust, we are golden.

I get the feeling that Eric Clapton might be a presence in your life. 🤔

since Viet Nam was part of this sound track via cultural influence, I thought a working man's perspective of the war might enlighten, as related to me by a sailor who went by the name of sweet James. He first hauled over oil and mineral exploration equipment in two voyages, as great wealth was expected to be found in the golden triangle area. by the time the exploration results came back negative, the fighting for possession of the land had already started and sweet James put three of his children through collage with the bonus wages provided by war.

I turned 2 the day Woodstock began, so I don’t recall much about it. I was probably focused on Donovan’s “Barabajagal” album, or perhaps a Tonka toy.

John Fogerty talking about CCR's set and his decision for it not to be on the film and soundtrack I find to be a very revealing and honest account of what seems like most performers at Woodstock.

What makes me sad is that one day all Woodstock performers and attendees will be gone.

I was a little far from Woodstock (Okinawa) at the time so it never occurred for me to go, but I wish I did now.

Groups that played the same songs at both Monterey and Woodstock.. The Who, Summertime blues … but Country Mc Donald were singing Fixing to die rag AND wore the same jacket!

Just curious, I'm not too sure that's a ring from a cup on the cover as much as I believe it to be this weird ring that appeared on the cover that was in the shape of the diameter of the record album itself. This was especially common on older albums with cardboard covers.
But now that you've mentioned it: seven days 😆
PS also I had just finished eating grapes when 11:45 happened 😳

Blood, Sweat & Tears were not in the original Woodstock film but they but on a great performance from the footage I've seen. David Clayton-Thomas is an awesome singer and a total badass Canadian legend. At age 14 he had left home and was sleeping in parked cars and abandoned buildings and stealing food and clothing to survive on the streets of Toronto. He was arrested several times for vagrancy, petty theft, and street brawls and spent his teen years bouncing in and out of various jails and reformatories. He eventually turned his life around and blessed us with his brilliant singing with Blood, Sweat & Tears.

My friend Jimmy Carl Black (yes THAT Jimmy Carl Black) also lived in Woodstock, and one winter day his son Darrell accidentally sledded into the road right in front of Dylan's car. Dylan jumped out and yelled at him. To this day he can't tell the story without being shamefaced about it. Imagine being a kid and being cursed at by Bob Dylan.

Kismet? Oddly enough, the co-founder of a private Facebook group called "Woodstock 1969 Reunion" was the late Charlie "Mayor" Maloney who, like myself and a number of other group members, attended the cultural benchmark of our generation that you've done such a wonderful job of highlighting. While it's highly unlikely that the album you have with the name "Charlie" on it was his, there can be no doubt that he would have loved this introductory episode and was literally part of its topic just as he was in sharing his story with visitors at today's Bethel Woods Center for the Arts whose museum and concert arena are set on the 1969 festival's still revered grounds. Thanks very much! Looking forward to (and sharing) your next installments. ✌💖 🎹

You, Abigail must know hippie era was a social movement, a big protest against the oppressive USA system, against the USA political and military agression to other countries. The hippies do had an objective. They were rebels with a cause. Make love NOT WAR. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THE ANTI DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM THE GOVERNMENT WAS IMPOSING… CHECK. FACTS. GET DEEP. Peace & Love.

I was just set up selling my vintage clothing at a folk festival this past weekend and we all got caught in a downpour. It instantly made me think of Woodstock and how the rain didn't matter then, everyone was just happy to be there experiencing the music, the positive energy, and each other. I wish I could've gone then, but I also think that same positive energy still exists at a lot of concerts today. I love being in the pit and seeing how everyone supports each other.

As was noted by a reviewer 50 years ago (paraphrased) — "The Butterfield Blues Band's "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" exemplified the sound of the group. "Love March" exemplified the spirit of the Woodstock Festival." I agreed with that assessment when the live album(s) were newly released. Saxophonist Gene Dinwiddey's intro/vocal performance on the gentle, modest "Love March" is utterly charming. Paul Butterfield's hard-chagring uptempo lead singing and harmonica were what had made his group popular in the mid to late 60's.

Fantastic video! Does it drive anybody else crazy that they cut Michael Shrieve’s solo short on the soundtrack? It makes that version unlistenable to me. 😢

Maybe Abby’s best episode. Brilliant commentary.

As a teen in the 90's I was obsessed with Woodstock. I used to watch the movie religiously and dream of being there. Of course the idealization was far from the reality of it but it must of been pretty special to be a part of the defining moment of a generation.

That whole event without Santana, Richie Havens, TIM FRIGGIN' HARDIN, Airplane, Joe Cocker, and Jimi would have been a snooze fest. Sha Na Na shouldn't have even been there and they were almost on the same speed jag as Ten Years After. The P.A. announcements were a hoot!

Abigail I've been back in to collecting records since 2017, and have streamed countless music videos since that time but just this week your Woodstock 55 was recommended on my stream, and I'm so glad it was! I absolutely love everything about your videos! Even albums I know a good amount about, I learn many new things from your content given the terrific research you do. You also make the videos incredibly engaging and very fun, and I LoL several times every video. I rarely Like videos, but yours I have both Liked and Subscribed, and I look forward to streaming EVERY SINGLE ONE of your Vinyl Monday videos! Thank you for all you do to enrich the vinyl collecting experience!

Great Timing here, ma'am. Every year this weekend I look for groovy Woodstock commemorative content. Lotsa fun here
Until this video, I hadn't realized the album contained non-Woodstock performances. What the funk? 🤨
Never knew that. It never even occurred to me to investigate it. Feels a little…ungroovy. Thanks for a great video 😆🌼✌️

I don't have a Woodstock story, I have a today story. After seeing your wonderful reaction/analysis/love fest about the festival I felt the need to write my old friend, Michael Wadleigh. It was a great excuse to say hi. He wrote back that he …" honestly rarely think about Woodstock anymore." And that's because he and his partner, Birgit van Munster, have been activists and researchers on various important issues and topics. While it's true that the Woodstock Generation had no agenda (I speak from experience) there were certainly individuals like Michael who had plenty of agenda and acted on it.
