Thread: What are you listening to right now

I was too young to attend at the time, but it would have been nice to be there.

What started off as a musical festival 40 years ago on farmland near Bethel, N.Y., ultimately became a symbol of an enormous movement within America’s youth culture.


Woodstock, a four-day series of musical performances in August 1969 that attracted about 500,000 people to watch performers such as Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker and the Grateful Dead, was a pivotal point in American history that marked a break from the tradition-based society of the 1950s, said Gary Hoppenstand, an MSU professor of writing, rhetoric and American cultures.

Link: The State News: 40 years after Woodstock

Satellite Radio / satellite TV in the US is having "Woodstock Weekend" 40th anniversary.
72 hours of the best rock & roll show ever .. except Monterrey Pop / Isle of Man / ?? ...

I've set my Tivo to record all 72 hours .. I've listened to perhaps 3 or 4 so far.

interesting interviews .. such as Peter Townsend (sp) whopping Abby Hoffman in the head with his guitar when Abby stepped to the mic during the Who's set..

More to watch (1:52) in this video than there is to listen to,….still it’s got a pretty good beat.

By the way,…..when you open a vimeo video if you look towards the bottom right hand part of the screen (of the video) you’ll see the volume control and right next to it you’ll see a “fan” like figure with arrows pointing in an outwardly direction,…….if you click on the fan, you’ll open the video up to full screen. To get out of the full screen, just hit your escape key.
