Woodstock - 1969-08-18 - Bethel, NY (SBD + AUD)

It’s our 4th and final day of music from Woodstock. On Monday morning, August 18, 1969, Jimi Hendrix played his first live gig since the breakup of The Experience in July of that year. He also turned in one the most well known performances in rock history when he played the Star Spangled Banner near the close of his set. Incredibly,less than 30,000 saw this performance, as it carried into Monday morning, by which point most of the half a million string had headed home.  Those of you following this blog know it was not the first time Jimi had played our national anthem, as it was included in several other concerts that year (see our Jimi post later this month for more details). This version of the Star Spangled Banner, however, played near the very end of a rock festival which symbolized the changes our country was going through in the late 60’s, became a lightning rod for controversy and debate. Exactly what message was Jimi trying to deliver? No one will ever know, but one thing is for certain, Jimi’s rendition is truly an iconic moment. By the way, this download includes 3 CDs of bonus material which  are no detailed above in the set list.

Woodstock - 1969-08-15 - Bethel, NY (SBD)

It was billed as an Aquarian Exposition (this is the dawning of the age of Aquarius), as 3 days of Peace and Music. It became 4 days of Peace, Music and Mud and closed the NY Thruway. As the song says, by the time “we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong, and everywhere was a song and a celebration”. The anti war, hippie, flower power, anti-establishment counter cultural revolution that was brewing among the youth of America was on full display at Yasgur’s Farm. More than anything, it was the moment that defined a generation, and continues to resonate with people a half century later. Michael Lang, one of the four young men who produced the festival, once said "That's what means the most to me – the connection to one another felt by all of us who worked on the festival, all those who came to it, and the millions who couldn't be there but were touched by it." More has probably been written about Woodstock than almost any other musical event in history, and I most certainly could never do justice to describing the events, emotions, impact and legacy of those 4 days. What I can do, however, is post some of the incredible music that was made at Woodstock in 1969. Thanks to our friends at the Woodstock project, we can bring you 33 CDs filled with music,  interviews, newscasts, and much more. Today we have 7 CDs from Friday, August 15, 1969, 5 decades ago today, featuring among others, Richie Havens and Joan Baez. Download these, then come back over the next 3 days for the rest of what Rolling Stone called “the most important event in rock history”.

Woodstock 1969 Celebration - Please Read This

Starting later today, we'll bring you 4 days of music from the original Woodstock festival, held August 15 to 18, 1969. It is a 30 CD extravaganza, pieced together from numerous sources by the folks at the Woodstock Project. All thanks go to them. This is not, by the way, the 38 CD limited edition set (I think just 1969 copies were produced) from Rhino that was recently released.

That said, what I'm about to post does include some official material, but its impossible to really cull that out. While we don't usually post anything official here at So Many Roads, we will make an exception in this case but we are taking the following precautions as a result:

• Links will posted in the comments under each post, not on the main page
• Links will be hosted on WeTransfer and expire in 7 days - once they are gone, that will be it - no re-posts - ever

Enjoy the tunz and grab them while you can.
