    Woodstockwas not just an event, a happening or a concert with 400,000 people. It was a pivotal moment of realization for an entire generation, an epiphany, amoment of realization for the entire country. The hip movement started in San Francisco a couple of years earlier in the Haight Ashbury and the Summer of Love had spread across the nation. There were now millions of hip people with 400,000 of them converging on Woodstock.

    Woodstock was a statement to the world, “humanity had evolved”, coming together through Peace, Love and Spirituality. An event whose original intent was to make money became the largest FREE event in history. The hip movement had come of age and was recognized by the world. The principles of love swept the country and we had become the ‘Woodstock Nation”.

    Hundreds of San Francisco stars and musical luminaries will perform at this event to commemorate the original principles of Peace, Love and Spirituality. The Woodstock 40th will begin with a blessing by the American Indigenous People and several Beat Generation poets. There will be many speakers from the Peace Movement, the Free Speech Movement and the Anti-War movement along with many of the acts who originally performed at Woodstock (to be announced). There will also be a “Green Vendor Village” with merchandise highlighting the emerging Green Movement.

    Smash the Guinness Book of World Records Playing “Purple Haze”
    Guitar Players: Help set a new record for the WORLD’S LARGET GUITAR ENSEMBLE, acoustic and electric guitar, gathering in honor of Jimi Hendrix.
    Players are encouraged to register for this event at:​
    So bring your ax, be part of history and play “Purple Haze" with thousands.​

    Thanks so much, man! I really appreciate you posting this otherwise it's likely I would have never found out. I only live about 2-3 hours from San Fran so I look forward to making the trip.

    Though my main goal is to find a way to NY. It sounds like the promoters are trying to get back to the roots and have some of the original performers from '69 .

    :peace:
