I was a teen in 1969 living on the west coast and Woodstock certainly made headlines but it's significance has also very much grown over the years starting with the eventual release of the movie since then being kept alive by RU-vid. The idea that pieces of the stage were worth keeping for posterity would have been been laughed at back then.
After Woodstock entertained approx. 500,000 people in 1969, 4 years later there was the Watkins Glen "Summer Jam" in 1973 and more than 600,000 people were in attendance. The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers and The Band entertained the assembled group. I missed Woodstock, as I was only 14 years old when it was held but as an 18-year-old young man, I attended the Watkins Glen festival, and it was fantastic!
"Oh, my God! We found this incredible piece of history still intact after half a century! Of course, we chopped it up and sold it for a few bucks."... Unbelievable. The entire thing should have been given or sold to the musuem at Bethel. What a shame.
I found a chunk of plywood that Jimi Hendrix himself stood on, only problem is you are going to have to take my word on it - $500,000 [or best offer !]
Wow. I was only 11 wben Woodstock was on. . I recently moved to NJ and was able to stop and see where Woodstock. was. So cool to to just see it. iIt was a Saturday getting kinda late afternoon in Late October . So many people still there visiting. I hope to go back when weather gets warmer and visit the museum and see more.
I have a piece of the stage now I got it today in mail. I got one of their necklaces made from the stage’s wood. I’m a big music and Woodstock fan. And a big history nerd. Great find and amazing technology today. 😊♥️🇺🇸☮️
I was born in 1961 and selling little pieces of the stage is the kind of thing that generation was (mine too) against. Not the spirit of Woodstock at all. Bad on you. Peace from Montreal. Not far from Bethel NY.
