We're lucky this was filmed for posterity, most of the huge festivals of the late 60's, early 70's were not recorded

::sigh::....in a hundred years the kids will have thousands of clips of the Britney's, Hannah what's her name and that "too cool" M&M guy, but there'll be little of the real music available.

....before anyone says it...THOSE DAMN KIDS!!!

Canned heat played the local blues featival here last week.

I was just a little young for Woodstock. I remember a friends older sister running off to a comune at 15. We thought that hippy stuff was just a little strange.

That's funny, I saw them here in Tehachapi in June.

I own Jimi's concert DVD from Woodstock. I bought it with only the expectation that I'd be able to see him perform but was very pleasantly surprised how good the sound turned out considering when it was filmed, it's outdoors, live, and well.... I was just very surprised.

Two degrees of Jimi Hendrix:

I saw the Monkees in concert (1986, 20th anniv. reunion tour)
The Monkees once toured with opening act Jimi Hendrix.
