I was 17 years old in 1969 and piled into a rusty 1964 Plymouth Belvedere with 4 friends. The car had an 8-track tape player hanging from a bracket under the dash. Cassette players were new and CDs were not invented.
We drove from Detroit to Woodstock and got high most of the way. We arrived on the 2nd day. The state police had the whole area blocked off. They would not let us in. We were forced to turn around like many others. We did manage to pick up some skinny hippie chicks for the ride home. We were all terribly cramped in that car but it was fun. We pan-handled change for gas money. Gas cost 18¢ to 21¢ per gallon depending on location. We could fill the tank on $4.
I had to experience Woodstock on the screen of a drive-in movie many months later.
After Woodstock, there were countless free concerts everywhere. Most were outdoors. I was fortunate enough to see Jimi Hendrix perform three times before he died.
Sorry I couldn't give a more exciting story.

I'm like you...I was born 30 years after my time! You can still have that Woodstock experience, though, although it won't be quite the same as Woodstock I'm sure! You can go to festivals around the country like Bonnaroo in TN where you can camp out and still get as close to that experience as possible!

I missed Woodstock but made it Watkins Glen in 74. Saw the Band, Allman Brothers, and Grateful Dead. It was incredible. So many people and took forever to get there.

No, I was only14 but I remember the posters advertizing it. I'm glad I didn't make it because it rained most of the weekend and the services were atrocious. Believe me, you wouldn't want to have been there. No big screen like today's concerts so you wouldn't have seen anything and rotten sound. Enjoy the movie. And don't take the brown acid.

One of my former music instructors, David Cohen... he played with Country Joe and the Fish... was there. I missed it by two years.. I wanted to attend Altamont in Livermore Ca.. years ago.. My parents would not let me go.. I was in a body cast.. Probably better I didn't go... From my understanding.. It got violent..
