- Len Merlo is an artist, an educator, a grandfather, and he also experienced one of the greatest cultural events of the 1960's, Woodstock. Len and his friends from Elizebeth New Jersey embarked on a three day journey that unknowingly would leave a lasting impact on the rest of their lives. Although it is estimated that over 400,000 people attended Woodstock in 1969, this is his unique story of the events that took place over all three days of Peace, Love, and Music. Thank you for watching!

@@StarBoi3000 You’re welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed.
You sir, and others like you that are with us, are now living treasures. Please tell your stories. Thank you very much ! ☮️✌️
I was in Middletown, NY at the time. Didn't go after getting discouraged by the unbelievable traffic and later the mud ( very wet year - 1969 ). Also I was a bit on the younger side too. However, I've never lost the vibes. Still a hippie. ✌️☮️
@@smesui1799 Thank you for your comment. We’re glad you enjoyed hearing this story. Peace & love forever ✌️
@@HonJazzz ☮️✌️👍
For all of us who wondered what Woodstock was all about, thanks for sharing your experience!
Thats awesome.
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed.
That was delightful. Thanks for putting us together. What cool memories
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Although over 400,000 people attended Woodstock, everyone’s experience was unique.
I was up there two days ago just for a drive and Chip Monk and some of his crew were there having lunch on the patio a few tables over. Amazing day
@@strikefault Wow that’s great!
Living history!!
Slight problem: Jimi played Monday morning, not Sunday.
@@DeliRevv Good catch. Sometimes the dates can get a little fuzzy after 50 years.
Hendrix played on MONDAY morning
Good memory, thank you
He can't have seen Hendrix. The running order of all the bands for Sunday was well out. Hendrix didn't come on the stage until Monday morning at 9:00 am and played till 11:30. So if he was at work Monday, it didn't happen.
It’s been quite a few years since Woodstock 1969. It’s possible he went to work Tuesday morning and drove home Monday.
@@HonJazzz It must have been Monday, Memory is foggy, but I was looking down towards the muddy mess as he was playing.
Regardless, this video is a treasure for all future generations to see. I ask you, do YOU remember exactly what you did 55 years ago??? (much less yesterday)
They picked up Don Draper and brought him along to Woodstock.

*Second -sushant don’t cehh🤣
Haha
this guy lost a day .... Hendrix played Monday morning

@@ScarlettFire341 For this video we were more interested in documenting Len’s individual experiences. Thanks for the comment.
Inserted music hurts the video
@@ScarlettFire341 We appreciate your opinion
Tix were $ 6.50 per day
$6 in 1969 equals $51.84 in 2024. I
@@ScarlettFire341 Not too bad if I don’t say so myself.
