Its official: A Woodstock 50th anniversary concert is coming to the original site of the 1969 music festival in Upstate New York next year.
The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts confirmed Thursday that it will host a three-day event on August 16-18, 2019, titled Bethel Woods Music and Culture Festival. The pan-generational music, culture, and community event will celebrate the golden anniversary of the original Woodstock concert with a series of concerts, TED-style talks, and a We Are Golden history exhibit at the Museum at Bethel Woods.
"Fifty years ago, people gathered peacefully on our site inspired to change the world through music. As the stewards of this historic site, we remain committed to preserving this rich history and spirit and to educating and inspiring new generations to contribute positively to the world through music, culture and community, Bethel Woods CEO Darlene Fedun said in a statement.

Those look like ‘extras’ from the movie set of ‘Quest for Fire’.
The four partners John Roberts and Joel Rosenman, Kornfeld and Lang who were responsible for the the counter-culture of the 1960s found themselves fighting with each other over movie and recording rights, payment of the over $1 million deficit, and the various lawsuits resulting from the event..the financial bonanza Woodstock had promised them never materialized.
I enjoyed Woodstock from Can Tho, S Vietnam....Oh well.....
“Oh, people. People....”
Lol! Wouldn't need makeup or anything!
Well, don’t they?
YEP!! And the mediapukes will cover it from beginning to end with glee!!
Never went to any of the Woodstock events. No need to start now.
You should mix that picture with the others from Woodstock and see if anyone notices.
No Country Joe, no Woodstock.
“Gimme a ....”
Country Joe did it solo. Fish wasn't with him.
The purveyors of an anti American, and anti military protest song filth that was shameful in so many ways while our soldiers were dying in Viet Nam. Yet there was one stanza that rings true today in light of seemingly never ending US military intervention in the Middle East:
"Come on Wall Street, don't be slow, Why man, this is war au-go-go There's plenty good money to be made By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade, But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb, They drop it on the Viet Cong. "
only the last two are worthy, what do any of those others have to do with Woodstock?
looks more like now & then...

They will put on Woodstock #3, they won’t learn as we know, liberals are incapable of rational, logical thought...they’ll “know” it will be different. I just hope no one dies. No one did in 1999, miraculously, but in the first one, 2 people did. One got run over by a tractor as he was stoned and passed out and under a blanket on the mud.
Yep.....it wasn’t the rosy love fest they so often try to make it appear as. There were also over 5000 medical issues so much so the Gov declared it a disaster area. It was a muddy mess and stink. Not enough food so the military had to drop in food and water.
I'm a huge fan of Joni Mitchell and CSN&Y, but you're wrong on that one.
CSN&Y's cover of Joni's "Woodstock" was perhaps the only instance I can think of where anyone improved on one of her original performances.
In Monterey (Oct 3, 1970), he wasn’t allowed to spell that word, so it was just F-I-S-H.

We’ll agree to disagree on that one.
Frankly, I also prefer Joni’s jazzy version on her live “Miles of Aisles” album over CSNY.
One more thought on Joni...
I MUCH prefer Diana Krall’s solo cover of “A Case Of You” on her “Live In Paris” album to any of Joni’s (3) versions - it’s truly the definitive version of that song.
