Have it on video though, does that count? ;)
Not unless it's the HD Director's Cut on Blue Ray DVD with the stuff they didn't have time for in the original. (;->)
I remember all the excitement about WOODSTOCK too. I was also 17 and my parents would have had KITTENS if I had hitchiked all the way to New York to get in. Then, I wouldn't have had any money for tickets anyway. Would have like to have gone for all the WEED smoked there, but at the time, I was a STRAIGHT Ham Radio NERD doing 2M AM DXing and trying to romance a beautiful girl. I only heard how great it was AFTER the fact. Wasn't that crazy about music at that time either. Music was listenning to DX coming in!
("Straight" back then meant NOT a "HEAD", as in POTHEAD)

Even in that time weed was easy to get then.
Never felt the need to use it, don't even drink alcoholic beverages.
Woodstock. The sex orgy that broke out into a 24/7 concert.
You so need to GTFOML! :rant:Quote:

Sorry 'bout that Chief. Purely unintentional, just thinking of how boring most of the movie was and expecting the added music sets in the DVD. Then I was terribly disappointed, I was downloading it at the time and when it FINALLY came through (nearly 100gb) it had damaged files and the par 2 files supposed to fix them farked up too.
"Even in that time weed was easy to get then."
Weed flowed like water until Nixon came along, then things gradually went downhill until it became too expensive and too risky to bother with. Frankly I miss the days when cops just didn't give a crap.
"Never felt the need to use it, don't even drink alcoholic beverages."
I never felt the need either, just simple desire, unlike alcohol it's not addictive. I can take drink or leave it, really don't care but weed is cool, or was anyway.
The best part of the era was the music, not just acid rock but blues, soul, progressive rock/Jazz, underground and basically the whole ball of wax. Those were the days when friends and I built top end speaker systems (scientifically, not just slapped together) that peed all over commercial units, tube amps, vinyl records, top end everything mix and match units, each of us trying to out hi-fi the other. What buy? Scrounge and trade with a few peanuts to sweeten the pot, sound systems constantly upgrading. BTW, again I mention losing my record and tape library not to mention a lot of vintage sound gear to a flood BUT little by little I got it back and then some digitally. "And then some" means recordings I only heard on Alyson Steele's Night Bird show on WNEW-FM NY, stuff you never heard of but occasionally I stumble upon.
Welcome to another edition of Stereo On The Radio In Mono. I call tonight's program Nautilus, you can call me Captain Stereo, for I am about to take you on an expedition 20,000 leagues beneath your mind. Sit back, relax, smoke' em if ya got 'em and ride the music... if you dare. <evil laugh with echo>

1969? I remember it being a typical year for a 4th grader like moi. Dad bought me a cool radio that had the short wave bands. I heard some AM hams yucking it up on 75M. I thought it was cool. I realized that someday, I could get on the air and talk about roller inductors, and enlarged prostates.
