SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I was 12 at that time .... Officially 11 and 1/2 ish
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I wonder if, in conjunction with that, they will have a 50th anniversary of Altamont as well: 1
apuszczalowski Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Heard about this but thought they said the original location was going to be used? Only performers from the original still around are Crosby Stills Nash & Young (Crosby said they haven't discussed doing it but would if Young said they will do it) and Santana I believe.

Actually, the following original performers are still alive and most are still performing: Canned Heat The Who Blood, Sweat and Tears CSNY Joan Baez Santana Country Joe John Fogerty (could do CCR tunes) Dead and Co. Arlo Guthrie John Sebastian

Steptide Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 It's odd having Woodstock in 2019. Rock music in general has died in recent years due to lack of albums sales and streaming services. Not a whole lot of new bands nowadays. I'm sure they'll have plenty of bands, but not alot of current rock bands that blow up radio nowadays

Incidentally, I think this is a terrible idea and I'm hoping there are some tactful anniversary celebrations in the town of Bethel. I'd much rather attend those. Something tells me this thing at Watkins Glen will be filled with Autotune and Millienials. No, thank you. 1
RaoulDuke79 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I hope it's better organized than Woodstock '99. That was a frigging disaster. 1
