Location: Cherry Hill, NJ | Wow! I've been away from the board a few days and missed this post. I attended the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, as it was first named and still have my tickets. That's because of the overwhelming attendance, it became a free concert. I drove up, from Northern New Jersey, in my 1961 Oldsmobile 88 with 2 friends. When we got there Friday night in the rain, we were told to set up camp anywhere we can park. The Fri night concert ended early, because of the rain.
On sat morning, we went to the stage and sat on cardboard on the mud and had great seats. Looking around at all the people was amazing. It was then we realized that kids from all over the country were into pretty much the same thing, music and being groovy.
Santana blew everyone away, their first east coast big gig. Country Joe's performance, got everybody in the spirit. I remember seeing, Canned Heat, the Dead, Creedence, the Who, Sly. CSN&Y was great, because they just released their first album, and everybody was anxious to see them. Because the concert was non-stop, throughout the night. We couldn't see all the acts, cause once you left the stage area, it was along distance to walk from the camp grounds.
When my kids were in their teens, I used to pride myself showing my framed tickets to their friends when they came to the house. They would say, "wow your dad is so cool" Actually, I was just really groovy. |
