#JimKerrMorningShow - เพลง
I was only 9 years old when Woodstock took place, but when I turned 12, I started playing guitar and haven’t stopped. I am now 62. Your dream and vision changed the world. We need more people like yourself. Rest In Peace, Michael. Woodstock will never die.
Michael Lang RIP. You changed the world.
RIP Michael Lang - Thank you for the vision of Woodstock.
RIP Michael, your immortal my friend, your vision left people with memories they will treasure forever.
Boy Michael still looks fantastic, he has to be close to 75yrs. old or more!
if he only would realize WILDSTOCK and so live forever.. the star rock legends are LIVE and the wildstock concerts (world wide wake up call IS REAL.. please share and allow Michael and group to come to the NOW and make it SO..

@showlogicprod Monterey wasn't THE first, as you correctly point out. But it WAS the one that the music world first took notice. And formed the paradigm_structure of all subsequent rock festivals for decades to come.
For GOD sakes wake up PEOPLE
The Mans GAY!
And he works out..too
You were really not too young - I was 15 and come from Wisconsin to be there. I admit, I was young but, I understood why we were there: the war, civil rights and the environment. Looks like we need another Woodstock today.
A fellow cheesehead 🧀 I agree!!!
another woodstock...instead you got 9/11.
Another Woodstock would be awesome but most of the new music now sucks. If they were playing rap and angry rock it would not go well with todays crowd.
for me Michael is a legend, I was 6y.0 when woodstock went on............ RIP, we all love you..........
I have watched Woodstock festival 1969 full document movie many times. Thank you Michael and friends you that happen possible 1969! Good regards Tuomo Finland 👍
I think the world need another 3 days of PURE peace, love and music
If I plan it in April, are ya'll coming? 😉
Sign me up man!

I wasn't alive for Woodstock 69 but I was 4 and 9 years old for both Woodstock 1994 and 1999
I really wonder how does it feel to know something you create changed history. This guy is living history
Mike still carries himself as a young hippie, Still has a youthful voice despite his older age.
Cool!!!!!
Thank you Michael Lang #RIP
I wasn't able to go to the first Woodstock but now I get the chance to get stoned while listening to some great music. Woodstock 2019 here I come!
@Noteman true
@Noteman They will yes, but also rock, pop, and classic acts. He said it himself. Wait till the lineup comes out before rejecting the lineup right off the bat.
@Noteman Don't base a whole genre around the shit artists. That same mindset created racism. There are wonderful hip hop artists making music today.
I was at stock 99..yes it had rap there..but with 3 stages like last time there will be plenty of music to choose from
dont go dude !!!
All the world needs is Jimi Hendrix
Indeed
Hell yea, I hope they add the star spangled banner the Jimi Hendrix version for tribute
Lansley Boy And johnny winter, and jerry garcia, and janis joplin, and etc etc etc.
☮️ YES! ☮️
dam straight ill vote for that
Ah the best 3 days and nights of my life!!! What a blast!
Please post proof pronto, pics preferred
@@joeambrose3260 Been two years no proof I guess.
A belated RIP to Michael Lang, who helped create one of the defining events in US history. The paradox of Woodstock is that the very aspect that ensured its fame - the eponymous documentary - also ensured its singularity. That film is really what made the show legendary, and so many rock shows since tried to recapture its spirit without success. It’s no wonder the 50th anniversary show didn’t happen. The 1960s are over. Just read the news and you’ll see.
This experience was definatly an eye opener for me. I traveled to Woodstock on a rented Greyhound with a bus load of friends from Belleville Ontario Canada. $24.00 for a three day concert, but turned out it was free when we arrived on I think was August 13th/14th
😅THANK'S FOR THIS DOC/ARCHIVES/INTERVIEW😅😂❤🎉 SEE YOU FOR NEXT DOC/VIDEO......WOODSTOCK, I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S MY GENERATION......😂 I 'VE 68 YEARS😂❤😅
I think all decades should be represented,,the 60's through 00's...
It would be great to have Santana, The Who back. For the new generation a reggea band, The Chronixx.
Causa Sui would definitely fit in
Santana confirmed to return!

Santanna was billed. The WHO is not the same without Keith Moon and John Entwistle. Not even close.
The vibe does not exist today,don't even try to re-live 1969.
I was 14, I can remember the huge impact it had on society in general, there were many opinions pro and con but overall a little thing that turned into a big thing very quickly. I knew a guy that was there, he said the cops were searching everybody coming out for drugs but not everybody going in because they just didn't have the staff to do both. So people coming out were throwing their stuff over the fence to people coming in.
I was so disappointed that they cancelled their 50th anniversary.
RIP Mike.
They shouldn't feel bad about Woodstock 50 being cancelled. It would've been a total disaster, anyway. Even with all the "re-dos" every 10 years, there will only ever be ONE Woodstock, and that is the "original" one in 1969. (Even though I heard that Woodstock 40 wasn't bad as far as anniversary ones went, since much of the original artists were still around to perform. 40 was the absolutely last chance). With half of the original artists either gone or retired (and all of them over-70), there's no point. The producers aren't at fault. Lang did fine. It's just not meant to be anymore. Different generation, different mindset. Besides, what passes for "music" these days is, in my opinion, raucous, computerized noise. I mean, Jay-Z and Miley Cyrus as headliners? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
Absolutely, it could never be re-created. It wasn't just a concert it was the spirit of the times(60's).
Que bien ver a este gran joven del ayer ( + 50 años ) , con buena salud y mucha simpatía
LONG LIFE TO MICHAEL FOR OTHERS 50 YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PEACE , LOVE and MUSIC FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the book "Barefoot in Babylon" Lang and Artie Kornfeld wanted to build a recording studio in Woodstock. They went to see John Roberts and Joel Rosenman to finance the studio. In the plans for the studio was a note to have small concert with a few acts, to help fund it. It was John Roberts who wanted to turn it into a big festival. Lang was not that keen on it, as he had already done Miami Pop. My point is that Lang takes most of the credit for Woodstock, when it never would have gotten off the ground if it were not for John Roberts. It didn't cost Lang a penny, and it was years before Roberts got his investment back. Lang doesn't even mention him. That's just plain wrong. I have read a lot of Books on Woodstock and "Barefoot in Babylon" (Robert Stephen Spitz) is the best. Highly recommended.
As I in my late years really start to look into what went on there.. It strikes me here and now why he doesn’t even mention the other names.. Why not ?
Woodstock 1969 - I was there... Some of my buddies and I decided the night before and we just went. I got there just in time to see the tall chain link fence go down...! I soon took a job selling hot dogs at a concession... all the food was gone in one hour. I made a small pay check for that. I saw a friend from my home town, Steven Tallerico who you will know as Steven Tyler of Aerosmith fame... He was in a very bad condition, if you know what I mean. The crowd continued to swell. I ran into a previous girlfriend and her sister who put me up in their tent. I stayed two or three days on then bummed a ride back to Westchester. I noticed a professional photographer on the stage take a shot in my direction just before I left and when the TIME Magazine special came out in December spotted my distant image although without enough facial details to convince anyone but myself.
Great story, I love reading people’s experiences from there.
You’ve gotta follow up on an in depth detail of what Steven was doing and wearing man, that’s rock n roll history that you have! He’s only briefly mentioned that he was there.
Michael Scott Lang ,,,born December 11, 1944 - January 8, 2022 died (aged 77) ,,,i cant believe he died this year,,there didnt seem to be any news report on it
Shameful that it got little coverage considering Mr Lang helped create one of the most peaceful and joyous events of the 20th century.
I got to meet MIKE in 1999 in ROME NY before the Anniversary began. Pleased to meet you, man, ********
Michael knew the brown acid was OK he took it & never grew old 😜😜😜
🤩 That's funny man 👍
IT WAS A LOT COOLER AND EVERYONE WAS ON THE SAME PAGE THEN! " IT IS NOT LIKE THAT ANYMORE"! THERE WAS A CERTAIN STYLE AND HIPNESS THAT DOESEN'T EXIST ANYMORE, AND IT WAS A LOT SAFER!
@james c I DON'T WANNA PUT A BLANKET INDICTMENT ON A GENERATION BUT...
@james c RAP IS PEOPLE WITH NO EDUCATION YELLING SWEAR WORDS! FUCK KINDA TALENT IS THAT? AND IF ITS COOL HOW COME PEOPLE GET MAD WHEN I TELL THEM THEIR MOTHER HAS A LICE INFESTED CUNT? JEEPERS!
I love Jim Kerr and Shelley Sonstein, Grew up listening to y
Them on WPLJ years ago. I also loved the fact how Jim mentioned Bert Sommer!! Right on Jim! Kudos to you!!
I still have my original tickets, you think they'll let me in w them???
I promoted a few small events , when I was younger , I cannot imagine doing a show , such as he is doing at his age.
I'm so excited for this!!!!!!
Same. Since Woodstock 94 went down I have been a huge fan of these festivals. I was disapointed when another one didnt follow 99 as fast as 99 followed 94. Pretty much gave up on another one happening. Then I heard this news. Super Excited wish I could be there. If not maby it will be on Pay Per View!
He got screwed because he couldn't get a license. It would have been an amazing week. The most legendary music festival that ever was and it couldn't be celebrated. Doing future Woodstocks is important, they keep the history going and the memory going of 69. It was sad not see the 50th happen. Total narrow minded officials that couldn't see how important that event was for American Music History!! They got scared because the 50th would have been bigger than 69 because of social media and the event itself.
Maybe they'll be a 69th Anniversary Woodstock in 2038!
Woodstock gets all the publicity but in fact, the Goose Lake rock festival (Michigan) was at least as good, and didn't have the rain and mud. The final act was Jethro Tull, their album "Benefit" had just been released. Wow -- we brought 'em back for 13 encores.
Woodstock was the pinnacle to all future concerts and rock music in general. No one is taking away from goose lake.
@@aveojohnee Quite right, of course. Still, I wish someone had filmed the 3 days of Goose Lake. That, too, would have made a cool movie.
@@tyrssen1 Would have like to seen/heard it.
that would have been VERY cool to attend.
I guess it’s not impossible for something like -69 festival to happen again ? But it’s impossible to try to re-create it, you can call it anniversary or whatever.. Still I must give my great respect to Mr. Lang and his partners from back then for his role in what turned out as one of the largest acts of unselfishness in modern culture. Something about people shined (and smelled) in that festival August-69. Rip Max.
I hope Michael will still be there in 2029 for the 60th Woodstock anniversary
Would love to been there
Foo fighters should play at Woodstock 2019
Hell yea...
Contrailz it’s rumored they are not sure how true
They are confimed as playing
Ew no
Omg yes!!!!!!!!!!
Please, if you do another one, for all that is holy, please, no rap or hip hop.
I AGREE
RAP AND HIP HOP DOES NOT FIT IN A CONCERT LIKE THIS!
@Jack Straw I think you misspelled (c)rap.
fuck off
umm, did you check out Woodstock 2? no? clearly.
Go back to your coffee, you hipster.
THERE WAS A GREAT WEEKEND EVENT AT LAUREL RACE COURSE, IN JULY OF 1969 AS " LAUREL FOLK FESTIVAL". WHERE EVERYBODY THAT PLAYED THERE , PLAYED AT WOODSTOCK THAT YEAR ALSO.
Haha I have been celebrating this ever since it was announced! People have asked me, "What is Woodstock?". I already have my plans, waiting for those tickets, at least one hippy will be there ;)
how much r they
I know Michael has passed away since this interview, but there's no reason they can't have another Woodstock. I know Woodstock 1999 was a disaster, but that's mainly due to the physical HOT concrete airforce base they were on, the scorching hot rare weather, and the bad planning. Not trying to knock Michael personally, but the planning and location choice were just awful. When done right, this concert could be epic. Nowadays, they have the planning of these events down and perfected like a simple equation. Just hire experts, don't get greedy, and it will be an amazing time.
Pls have a jim morrison and Jimi Hendrix hologram
Jim morrison wasnt even at woodstock that wouldnt fit
@@zach11590 Right. Just too bad he wasn't!!! (Jimmy). And Led, too!
Hendrix and Richie hologram!
Holograms are creepy, why would anyone even want to see that?
I was 15 in 1969. Lived a few hours away in Syracuse. I loved the music, but was never into the counter-culture scene, which I thought - even then - was unbelievably naive. As well as plain stupid. Most people I knew who did go there weren't into this hippie/counter-culture thing, either. They went mostly for the girls. And to hear great music.
Wow. Mike has carried his age so well. Hard to believe he's 70 plus years old now......
I WATCHED A CLIP**** A GUY BAUGHT THE WOOD FROM THE STAGE WHEN THEY TORE IT DOWN>>HE MADE A GARAGE>> WHEN THEY WENT TO SEE IF IT WAS THE STAGE THEY PULLED DOWN A PEICE OF PLYWOOD AND IT SAYED IN BIG LETTERS "FADED" Michael Lang ....
Black Sabbath!!!
Now you're talkin'!
Cool interview, ashame the powers that be stoped the 50th. Michael Lang was a cool dude so was Artie Cornfield.
The 50th anniversary should only feature acts that were at the original festival.
Erm..that's about 3 acts then..
And no cellphones allowed, sly stone at 3.30 night again and druuuugs. I hope that the crowd will not have so much cellphones holding into the air and that the festival be free again
There was another festival called Stomp in 76..It had a crowd like Woodstock. It was in Carroll Co Virginia near Pot Rock back in 76..I hear they may do another one but not sure...
Woodstock 50 is basically Coachella in New York with a couple bands sprinkled in that nobody will know and anyone that is old enough to know is too old to go to something like this
What's the lineup ? What's the cause ? What's the movement ?
He looks amazing! That's the power of LSD
Hahahahaha
D C That’s the power of money and never working.
What should have been the 50th anniversary fell apart like a really bad dream.
It would have been great to see them pull it off. Unfortunately the chaos of the 30th anniversary held in Rome was not forgotten by local governments. Watkins Glen is not capable of safely hosting this kind of event.
In my opinion Michael has milked the Woodstock cow dry!!!
You musta not been at the Phish superball festival at Watkins a few yrs back......ton of people, and no incidents....we even had a 3 k race sunday morning
@@johniorio7951
Correct, I was not. As you know the Phish crowd is both dedicated and respectful. More reminiscent of the original Woodstock concert.
Michael Lang looks incredibly well for his age. Must be all that nutritious hippy food and positive vibes.
I got an investor baby. Woo hoo!
Lov,
Cari
Disco Biscuits please !
The "atmosphere" and interest in everyone getting along, unfortunately is waaaay long gone. An attempt to have a festival like Woodstock, would be nothing short of a modern day "bloodfest"!
Wanna take you higher.......HIGHER
well a 50th had been the plan anyhow , from what i understand there was just no getting proper permits *bleh*
Hog Farm & Wavy Gravy are real counter-culture heroes.
Then the Stones went & spoiled it all by playing Altamont. They were warned by Bill Graham.
Yeah, I think they tried to reproduce W'stock, but failed....miserably.
the real problem was 'hiring' the hells angels as security.
The 50th anniversary should have been held in an Artie Kornfeld.
I would think you might get some disagreement with San Francisco hippies as to whether Woodstock "changed history", or maybe "changed history" more than the summer of love did (1967).
I did not attend either event, but have lived in New York as well as on the west coast. But the music flowered a bit earlier out there, and then was brought to Woodstock. The Woodstock lineup thought was amazing.
Does anybody know the ticket prices?
Seven dollars for each day
How much will they be charging for bottled water this time?
$69 in remembrance of the year of the original Woodstock.
They need to hold another Woodstock, perhaps instead of having it on a field they should hold it on at some disused airforce base
If you don't mind Michael where are the other three of your co-organizers of the original Woodstock, are they still around? . . . Benjie from the Philippines.
Shame you glossed over The Miami Pop festival which Michael Lang booked.
Many years ago I had the pleasure to have been drinking around Soho with Mitch Mitchell.
He originally played in a band called The Coronets with another chap I knew before he joined the JHE.
He was quite derisory about Woodstock apparently they took ages to get on stage, it was cold and Jimi, Billy and him were playing more by intuition because they could not hear themselves, and Mitch was not overawed by the extra percussion section which if you watch parts of Woodstock were playing out of time.
So back to Miami Pop Festival which was the JHE on fire!!
I have also talked to other people I know and it was apparently a pretty incredible moment for the JHE who hit the stage running, Eddie Kramer recorded both concerts and is on record about the JHE performance at Miami.
I am in no way criticising Woodstock which is a historical event of extreme importance but just wished the presenter had taken more time with the Miami Pop Festival which Michael was involved in and was the prelude to Woodstock.
Also in it's own right quite a spectacular line up.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Pop_Festival_(May_1968)
my grandma hitched hiked to woodstock from sf when she was 15 this fool said he couldnt cuz he 16
kevin beecher Guess he had more responsible parents.
JIMI HENDRIX FANTASTICO.FROM BRASIL.SOUZA.ABC.SP.
this is before fauci hit the fan
Sad this isn’t happening now. It’s really too bad.
The Wacken Festival 2019 would be much better concert than Woodstock 50th anniversary
wish it could have been at the old site in Bethel.
What happened to Yazgur’s farm?
I'll be there for sure ✌
They will not get any major acts. They’ll get what’s left of Canned Heat and a reunion of Sweet Water.
They will just seed the clouds again..man
At 11 my day camp counselor wouldn't take me to Woodstock wound up taking over her pottery shop instead
And now you are a famous Potter?
I always said that MICHAEL LANG needed 2 have been Jimis manager after lang booked him at MIAMI POP`68 then at WOODSTOCK `69. check out the COSMIC OMEN!!!!! IT RAINED!!!! heavily at both concerts with lang/hendrix in business together. THAT IS NO COINCIDENCE!!!!!!!
got news for you- rains every woodstock...just got back from another reunion at yasgurs, poured all mem. day weekend!!
I am 27 year old virgin, and I have never done psychedelic drugs before. I plan on changing that in Woodstock 2019. :)

@@luvsilly60 that's terrible 😂
I’m a 51 year old virgin and me so horny
There is a Big Difference between the Drugs then and Now...I'd avoid todays drugs...Much safer back in the 60's an 70's compared to the Poisins today
When you say "I plan on changing that," do you mean the virginity or the lack of psychedelic drug use?
It won’t be Woodstock without Jimi Hendrix Star Spangled Banner
Get John Frusciante to do it. Or Gary Clark Jr.
Santana hadn’t recorded? Santana was so fresh and new to the scene the could play their first album live for 500,000. That were in attendance
Lol they just released the line up 😂😂😂 someone needs to get fired
Yes.. there is no time..to get it done, or ELSE.... BUT SEE THE VIDEOS WOODSTOCK 50 CONCERT COUNTDOWN by paneaglesong..
that is time doesnt exist except as we agree to it.. so maybe we can BE IN TIME somehow and everywhere, IT CAN BE AND WE ARE LIVE
more than a myth or a control scenario, but still REAL not just a cosmic joke.. and so MAKE IT SO is a phrase ... PEACE LOVE MUSIC is another
BEING REAL is our reality.. If we had one benefactor more, like David ArmeGeddon perhaps (whose lost the universal recording masters in 2008 LA fire)
we might own up to what should be done .. for woodstock, the planet and the people ALL...smile paneaglesong
Get DMB!!
Mr. Lang I hope this teaches these leftists some compassion!
It's not the leftists who are supporting a man who locks children in cages and who wants to take our benefits to pay for the tax break he gave the rich, or who began a trade war and refuses to do anything about it despite farmers losing everything. Teach the left compassion? The right lacks both compassion and brains.

Woodstock at 50 would not have been the same as the original. This would have been typical of everything today, All about the money $$$$$$$$$$$$
And a sea of cellphones too.
J Mazz It was about money then too but they failed with organization and couldn’t charge people once they were already there. They were forced to make it free.
I hate draft dodgers but the music in the 60's was the shit.
As long as they give the people what they want i guess anything goes these days.
Isn't the whole point of ANY business enterprise 'giving the people what they want'?
I guess the Naysayers, Greedies & Blue Meanies all got their jollies shutting down another righteous dream!
