PBS: Woodstock Revisited 'THREE DAYS THAT DEFINED A GENERATION' ...
A few night's ago I thoroughly enjoyed watching this Americam Experience Woodstock documentary that focuses on the event itself much more than the great music that was played there by Richie Havens, Ravi Shankar, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Carlos Santana, the Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, Sly and the Family Stone, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Joe Cocker, The Band, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Sha Na Na, Jimi Hendrix, and many more ...
>> WOODSTOCK: THREE DAYS THAT DEFINED A GENERATION (2019) | Official Trailer HD [2:01]
In August 1969—against a backdrop of a nation in conflict over sexual politics, civil rights, and the Vietnam War—half a million people converged on a small dairy farm in upstate New York to hear the concert of a lifetime. What they experienced was a moment that would spark a cultural revolution, changing many of them and the country forever.
With never-before-seen footage, WOODSTOCK: THREE DAYS THAT DEFINED A GENERATION tells the story of the political and social upheaval leading up to those three historic days, as well as the extraordinary events of the concert itself, when near disaster put the ideals of the counterculture to the test. What took place in that teaming mass of humanity — the rain-soaked, starving, tripping, half-a-million strong throng of young people — was nothing less than a miracle of unity, a manifestation of the “peace and love” the festival had touted, and a validation of the counterculture’s promise to the world. Who were these kids? What experiences and stories did they carry with them to Bethel, New York that weekend, and how were they changed by their time in the muck and mire of Max Yasgur’s farm? Directed by award-winning filmmaker Barak Goodman and written by Goodman and Don Kleszy, WOODSTOCK takes us back to the three days that defined a generation. <<

At the beginning of this century my wife and I drove to a good friend and business associate of mine's funeral which was held in Woodstock proper where he was buried. A few years earlier he and his younger 2nd wife had purchased and resided in a large restored farmhouse on several acres less than a dozen miles south of Woodstock where she stabled her horse. Nice country living for a man who managed a Metro NY Major account sales territory but died while still in his 50s.
