I was born in 83' .. I wish I was alive during Woodstock! It looks amazing! Like so fun and free and probably full of the best music ever made.. Janis is one of my favorites! Mannnn.. What a time to be alive.
Don't feel too bad because I was eleven and I wasn't old enough to go. I guess my older siblings should have gone and taken me but we couldn't afford to see elvis for ten bucks.
I am a late Hippie. I was 13 when this happened. But it was the blueprint for my ilfe. However we had a really hard time in the 70s keeping up the spirit of peace and love. Everybody said that beeing a Hippie was "out" which I refused to believe till today. Beeing kind and postitive is always "in".
This all brings up many feelings and memories! I almost went to Woodstock. Instead drove too Florida in rain to register for 1st year of college. But! I made up for not being there. Started playing guitar and played in some great bands in Boston. Then became a photographer. Been published many times including 5 music magazines. And have two books. Even photos in the Smithsonian from 9/11. So I took that Woodstock spirit and used it in my life. Finally made it to the 50th at Bethel Woods and Yasgurs Farm taking photos. Then my Mom passed away the next week. I guess i went full circle. Even got to meet Michael Lang at Yasgurs Farm . He seemed to be at Peace with everything. And hats off to Elliot Landry for all the great photos. PEACE! PS. Some of my 50th photos did make it into a great local paper in Northampton Ma.
Much appreciated video. I knew photographer Jim Marshall was at Woodstock but not Elliot. Excellent work, sir, one frame at a time. No motor drive, no autofocus, no checking on the back of a digital camera to see if you got things right, just a couple old Leicas you could probably go to war with. Wish we could see more. Great job.
I don't think anyone who was at Woodstock (and I was there for the whole thing), returned home and continued to be the same person they were before it. It was a transformative event, in my then, young life.
Beautiful! Elliott Landy's photos are spectacular & iconic and we're so grateful for his capturing the only photo of our founder, Swami Satchidananda, opening the Festival with his words of peace and encouragement! Thank you Elliott and thank you TODAY for sharing this video!
Another Woodstock like that one unfortunately won't never happen again. Nowadays we are living dangerous times, greedy politicians, racism, hatred among people, lack of love and peace, sharing and so on. For me, that festival set the example.
I was 6 Months old...... I have always had a connection to woodstock! The pictures of Janis are just Beautiful! I would of loved to see some Pics of Jimi Hendrix
Lots of history there, I was 5 but people camped on our lawn! My mom was friends with “Maxie” who’s land it was on. Her brother (my uncle) was a medic there and is in a few somewhat famous pictures. There is a really cool museum there now (Bethel Woods) and well worth a visit especially on a concert day.
I have this photo I took of Wavey Gravey at a Festival in the 70's. Made copies to hand out at the 50th. At Bethel Woods and Yasgurs Farm. The thing that many folks said about the photo. WOW! Look at all the people watching Wavey and not one cell phone! Something I did not even think about!
VERY IRRITATING Snickers commercial! Definitely DOES NOT make me want to run out to the store to purchase any! However, I truly enjoyed seeing the Woodstock photos! What a great time in America!
So that’s the way it happened. And if it didn’t happen it’s nice to know why it didn’t happen so in the future if we want to keep doing something we need to know why something stopped in the past if we want to keep it going. It's Only Going to get Larger as the World Shrinks with an ever increasing pace , The fantastic speed with which the world is shrinking there is sure to be an even Larger Celebration of Love and Peace :) QC
Cool pictures, man. Makes me wish I had been there. To bad I was born in 1962. I was a child of 7 almost 8. I do remember the moon landing that happened later that summer.
Did Elliot Landy take the pictures that were used in the LIFE Magazine Special that came out months later...? Because if he is, then I saw him a few days after the end of the show with his camera up there on the stage pointed and snappen in my direction and I found myself in the special, but of course, the details of my face are not sufficiently detailed to convince anybody but myself...! It was a very big and professional looking camera that I saw...
Elliott is not the Official Photographer at Woodstock; Henry Diltz is the Official Photographer - (nor is he one of two official photographers as he says.) Barry Z Levine also had full stage and helicopter access as still photographer on the Academy Award winning film WOODSTOCK. Elliott is hard to believe in more ways than one - see the Diltz related comments below.
Elliott was not the only photographer for stage access at all time, Henry Dilts was the official photographer who had full stage access, so did Barry Z Levine, Still Photographer on the Academy Award winning film Woodstock
My curiosity about Woodstock is exceeded only by my delight in not having been there. Festival of music...mud, filth and BO. The thought of being surrounded by 400,000 unwashed hormonal teenagers/hippies is bloodcurdling.

I'm from 96 and I'm so sad i couldn't be there

I'm glad I stayed a Hippie my whole life .. peace 🌹

That's what the world needs today in 2020, a bit of peace, love and understanding.

Thank you this . These pics are great and give such a great example of love. Thank you for sharing 🦋
Thank you for sharing these photos, your thoughts and memories.

What a cool connection 50 years later :-)
Swami came on at night Richie Havens opened
Photographer Henry Diltz also had full stage access. He and the producer of Woodstock Michael Lang have created a book of photos about Woodstock.
I wish we could have more Woodstock.
Woodstock can NEVER be duplicated,duplicated.🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽

You can, Woodstock is a state of mind, peace ☮️ love ❤️ and music always 🕺🏿💃
4:16 Grace Slick was hot in the day!
Seeing everyone sharing & being kind was "take away" for this 16 yo, too!
Nothing but peace drugs and great music. That crowd set the example for all outdoor festivals. Too bad altamont ruined it 4 months later
I wish I was there. I was only 2. Thank you for sharing such beautiful moments!
I was 6 Months old...... I have always had a connection to woodstock! The pictures of Janis are just Beautiful! I would of loved to see some Pics of Jimi Hendrix
I’m a little behind you. I was born August 13th. Kinda cool
I've been a hippie all my life. To young for Woodstock though.Still like the music...
Agreeing to be kind to each other, agreeing not to be greedy
Back than was how it should be,
Amen awesome video the greatest memories 💋👍💐🌻🌷🌼🥀🌸💐🌹🌷🌻🌺

Henry Diltz was also a photographer at Woodstock, I have seen his slide show, quite amazing.
Sometimes u say WOW that Woodstock clip,,, WAY TO SHORT ! 😎 BUT THANKS FOR THE MEMORYS
I wish could have been there.
Awesome photos!
Brilliant work.
And not a cellphone in sight

nor any obese people
Who watched Woodstock at the drive in movie sitting on the hood of a vehicle?
VERY IRRITATING Snickers commercial! Definitely DOES NOT make me want to run out to the store to purchase any! However, I truly enjoyed seeing the Woodstock photos! What a great time in America!
No cell phones,....bet everyone was actually talking to each other.
It is great to see the artists on stage, but the crowd was the real story .
More please!
That weekend made history Like Max said "3 day of music and fun"
Right on ✌️
The photo of Joe Cocker is so iconic. The composition and colors are amazing
I turned 4 the day Jimi Hendrix played.
I was only eleven years old but I wish I could have been there.
Wow! Thanks, I love the photo of Janis, you captured her essence, if I had to explain who she was I'd show them your photo. Namaste
That was interesting
Too bad the 50th did not go off. Would have loved to be apart of a celebration of the good ole days.
Probably for the best, it would have been a massive disappointment.
Good god grace slick was such a massive babe! Shwiiing!!
Yes she was. Groovy chick
Love the Janis,would Love to have a Copy! ✌♥️
Laurie H. Happy 50th, Abe

I said that while looking at the(now) framed Woodstock poster my dad grabbed out of the mud as he was leaving 😉
You'll find it will be faster if you walk!

Peace Out 🇺🇸 💙
If you look closely in the crowd photo I'm on the left wearing a white t shirt.
Did Elliot Landy take the pictures that were used in the LIFE Magazine Special that came out months later...?

Very good speachmr.cameraman)
Janis. Was a beautiful woman. She was the real deal
That pic of Joe Cocker is epic !
trublu71 Indeed!
I don’t see any fat guy/woman.
There were 7 one was pregnant so doesn't count
Elliott is not the Official Photographer at Woodstock; Henry Diltz is the Official Photographer - (nor is he one of two official photographers as he says.)

Elliott is hard to believe in more ways than one - see the Diltz related comments below.
TWO official photographers. Couldn't they have gotten away with ONE?
No! I been to smaller Festivals. Where sometimes I have seen well over 50 photographers with photo permits!
This guy looks a,little like an old roger daltry of the who
Roger Daltrey looks like an old Roger Daltrey.
Came here because of school
giv mig svarene rn
@@zophia5439 kan ikke huske dem
without a doubt the most fried person was Joe Cocker
You obviously haven't seen Tim Hardin
He gotta little help from his friend(s)?
freedom peace and love because the node of the mooen was actually in PISCES when WOODSTOCK happened
What if you were right in the middle of that crowd and you really, really had to go have a crap?
I've thought about that many times.
“ DONT TAKE THE BROWN ACID “
