listening to Woodstock music tonight

[OwnedByFerrets]

1. If you have a Blu-ray player, pick up the new Woodstock

It has great audio. Richie Havens and Ten Yrs After are worth the price of the disc.

[hippywife]

2. Thanx for the earworm...

and I'm not being snarky or sarcastic. I'm really saying thank you and meaning it. :hi:

[livetohike]

3. Thanks! Nice warm up for the 40th anniversary

:hi: I'm having the "All Hendrix" afternoon today :-).

[marzipanni]

4. Newport Folk Festival 50th anniversary live on NPR August 1 & 2

5. Rhapsody has the new 2-CD "Jefferson Airplane: The Woodstock Experience"

If you don't have an account, you can listen to 25 songs per month for free:

...and this CD has 24 tracks. Looks like the 2 CDs include the 2004 remaster of the "Volunteers" album plus the complete 13-song live set from Woodstock.

6. Amerigo...

I consider you the music maestro of this place. I think something special should be done for the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock. A seminal moment in my life. And, I wasn't there. Much to be discussed. I'm about to start Michael Lang's book. We're what. A little more than two weeks away? Tell me what you're thinking.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

7. Simple...we hold Woodstock for 24 hours right here in the Lounge instead of on Yasgur's Farm

We re-post the list below (from Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock_Festival#Performing_artists_and_sequence_of_events) on the anniversary day and everyone participating in the thread gets to go to YouTube and hunt down the songs, checking for dupes before they do, and just like Woodstock, we jam from sunup to sundown.

They wouldn't have to be performances from Woodstock, but obviously, bonus points and high-fives to the people who post those clips.

THAT'S what I'm thinkin'...

8. God damn! You are the man, Amerigo.

Now, we get it to the masses. I'm looking forward to one hellacious weekend. Picking up the DVD on the 'morrow. Fuck. I've never seen that order of acts before. I've heard that Sebastian was thrown in on Friday to stall, because of the late arrivers. Yet, David Fricke of Rolling Stone, vividly remembers his tied-dyed shirt on Saturday. Now, I see the truth. Thank you, fine sir!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

9. Well, it was a community event, first and foremost...

...and how cool would it be for DU...also a community event...to use history as a blank canvas to remix and repaint what was probably the single greatest concert of all time?

:toast:

[Condem]

10. Somehow, Amerigo, in this summer of anniversary's...

the moonshot, Manson, Vietnam. This is the one I remember. As I close in on a half-century on this earth- those four days are something special. The first album I ever listened to. Just getting pumped for it.

[handmade34]

12. I didn't make it to Woodstock

but did enjoy a number of knockoffs shortly after. Jefferson Airlane, Richie Havens, John Sebastian, Arlo Guthrie and others... those days are memorable

[Amerigo Vespucci]

14. Grace Slick: "This is morning maniac music, people...BELIEVE IT."

And Joe Cocker. Holy shit, his performance still turns my face inside out.

:toast:

[handmade34]

11. I vote yes

[Amerigo Vespucci]

13. OK, well, let's fire it up at 11:59 PM on Friday August 14th...

...and keep it lit until 12:00 AM Sunday August 16th.

There's no way the entire performance can be posted in 24 hours, so there's no way we'll run out of great music.

We can also post photos of the performers, classic psychedelic posters from the era...

...it could turn into one legendary party thread.

:toast:

[Condem]

15. Nope, Amerigo.

5:07 PM, Friday, August 14th. Til Monday August 17th. Might as well go all the way.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

16. You know me, I'm in there until the tumbleweeds start rolling in

As long as people are participating, I'll help emcee.

:toast:

[Condem]

17. It would only be fair that you kick this gig off. It's decided.

Your honor, your Honor.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

18. Gimme a few minutes here, I'm working on something for the event

I'll post it when I'm finished.

:toast:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

19. OK, what do you think:

[Condem]

20. Love it!!!!!!

Maybe a PSA in GD as we approach the historic event. Something along the lines of "bring your tents, sleeping bags, tie-dye, and bag of weed.....and, don't forget the brown acid." Great idea, Amerigo!

[handmade34]

21. Love it!

now we start the marketing campaign

[Condem]

27. kicking this.

Let's get a time frame for some PR. Suggestions, please. By all means, Amerigo's design MUST be in all threads.

[gmoney]

26. I bet Sweetwater was pissed...

"Richie Havens...
8. Freedom/Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child
* Swami Satchidananda - gave the invocation for the festival
* Sweetwater
1. What's Wrong
2. Motherless Child"

"Aw, the dude just did our best song! Let's switch it from first spot to second..."

[ThomWV]

22. One of my alltime favorite bits of music.
