WOODSTOCK 3 days of peace and music

Iocco1 asked:


Woodstock was a music festival, billed as An Aquarian Exposition, held at Max Yasgur s 600 acre (2.4 km²; 240 ha) dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York from August 15 to August 18, 1969. Bethel (Sullivan County) is 43 miles (69 km) southwest of the village of Woodstock, New York, in adjoining Ulster County. The festival exemplified the counterculture of the late 1960s early 1970s and the “hippie era”. Thirty-two of the best-known musicians of the day appeared during the sometimes rainy weekend in front of nearly half a million concertgoers. Although attempts have been made over the years to emulate the festival, the original event has proven to be unique and legendary. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest moments in popular music history and was listed on Rolling Stone s 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll.[1] The event was captured in a successful 1970 documentary movie, Woodstock; an accompanying soundtrack album; and Joni Mitchell s song “Woodstock”, which commemorated the event and became a major hit for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

N’oubliez Jamais Lyrics
Artist(Band):Joe Cocker

Papa, Why Do You Play
All The Same Old Songs
Why Do You Sing
With The Melody

Cause Down On The Street
Somethings Goin’ On
There’s A BRAND New Beat
And A Brand New Song

He Said
In My Life, There Was So Much Anger
Still I Have No Regrets
Just Like You, I Was Such A Rebel
So Dance Your Own Dance, And Never Forget

N’oubliez Jamais
I Heard My Father Say
Every Generation Has Its Way
A Need To Disobey

N’oubliez Jamais
It’s In Your Destiny
A Need To Disagree
When Rules Get In The Way
N’oubliez Jamais

Mamma, Why Do You Dance
To The Same Old Songs
Why Do You Sing
Only The Harmony

CAUSE Down On The Street
Something’s Goin’ On
There’s A BRAND New Beat
And A Brand New Song

She Said
In My Heart Theres A Young Girls Passion
For A Life Long Duet
AND Someday Soon
Someone’s Smile Will Haunt You
So Sing Your Own Song And Never Forget

N’oubliez Jamais
I Heard My Father Say
Every Generation Has Its Way
A Need To Disobey

N’oubliez Jamais
It’s In Your Destiny
A Need To Disagree
When Rules Get In The Way
N’oubliez Jamais

What Is This Game
Searching For Love Or Fame, It’s All The Same
One Of These Days You Say That Love Will Be The Cure
I’m Not SO Sure

N’oubliez Jamais
I Heard My Father Say
Every Generation Has Its Way
A Need To Disobey

N’oubliez Jamais
It’s In Your Destiny
A Need To Disagree
When Rules Get In The Way
N’oubliez Jamais

If you had the ability to travel back in time, where would you go and what would you do to alter Rock history?

Smiley asked:


hookerln - I see you point to some extent, as it’s quite obvious. But I’ve often wondered what kind of music Jimi Hendrix would have recorded/produced had he lived, or whether or not Led Zeppelin would have released another dull album, or…you get my point.
And by the way, funk was around long before disco.
