Woodstock' 99
After all, the music in the recording studio is different from the live music, and the greatest charm of rock music is its attractive beauty on the spot. A live rock concert is different from a singer's concert. One is fanaticism about idols, and the other is spiritual carnival. Among many rock concerts, the most memorable one is the concert in Woodstock, a small town of 1969. Thousands of people are intoxicated in the mud of the pasture. It may be heresy, and it is still thrilling. Decades later, "Woodstock" became a symbol of culture and the spirit of rock and roll.
Three days became eternity.
1969 August 15 to 17 is a weekend. A music festival initiated by two 24-year-olds is held this weekend. Originally, the performance was originally scheduled to be held in Woodstock Village near the Hudson River in new york, but due to the opposition of local authorities, they had to change the performance to a place in Bethel, White Lake, 70 miles northwest of new york. Organizers hope that this farm, which accommodates about 654.38+10,000 people, will have about 50,000 tourists. However, after the performance began, they found that their initial expectations were greatly underestimated. More than 400,000 spectators poured into the farm, and the tents and food originally prepared were suddenly in short supply. The organizer's mistake caused the performance to be extremely chaotic, and the heavy rain for two consecutive days turned the whole farm into a refugee camp. But in fact, it was this disaster that drew the most brilliant stroke at the music festival. All the people are in order, and there is no chaos in this kingdom with only 72 hours left. Everyone who attended the music festival remembers this sentence: "The people around you are your brothers and sisters." At the same time, the singers on the stage also brought them real intoxication. Almost all the singers who were very popular in the 1960s took part in this performance, including 365,438+0 artists such as joan baez, Paul butterfield, Grateful Dead, Jimmy HayEndeley Cox, Jefferson Pollan, janis joplin, Santana and Who Ten Years Later.
Although the unexpected changes in this performance cost the two organizers nearly $2 million, the impact and cultural shock it brought was not something that two million could buy. Its use of music to express cultural or social events reached its peak, so that no one could achieve this extraordinary cohesion through concerts later.
Until 25 years later, in order to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Woodstock Music Festival, Americans held Woodstock Music Festival again. Although the slogan "Peace, Music" was also used in this music festival, it did not achieve the expected results. Quite simply, this music festival is just a commemorative performance and a commercial operation. History can be copied, even the mud after the rainstorm and the sponsors' money can be copied, but the spirit of 25 years ago cannot be copied.
33 years ago, America. There was a quick and uneasy knock at the door somewhere in this country, so people heard it from all directions. 450,000 people, covered in mud, created a historic moment in a pasture. Woodstock has become synonymous with a cultural phenomenon. It's big, it's numerous, it's complicated, it's indulgent, and it's jaw-dropping. ...
Jimmy Henrik's performance is the most memorable program at Woodstock Music Festival. When he played home of the brave, the excited audience tore up the stars and stripes that guided the country to Vietnam.
400,000 young Americans gathered in Woodstock, and two amazing rainstorms made them crazy in the mud. Under the call of "love and peace", music festivals have become a peculiar anti-war way.
The anti-war revolutionary slogan "Make love, don't fight" resounded throughout the venue. Many couples are naked and even have sex in public back to Adam and Eve. In this way, they expressed their disgust and anger at the US government's war policy.
