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!

This is why the internet and RU-vid are so vital for our future......individuals like Len Merlo being able to tell his experience FIRST HAND of a legendary, historical moment in time. Imagine 50 years from now, those young individuals asking about what it was like to experience September 11, 2001........thank you for this upload and for sharing your memories Mr. Merlo

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. ✌️☮️

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

I was invited to go by some friends and something told me it was going to be an exhausting journey so I didn't go. I kinda half regret not going but on the other hand there was an army of hippies to hang out with at home. Lots of weed and whiskey and music. So we kinda had our own little Woodstock. Anyway, those were the days.🌼🌺

Slight problem: Jimi played Monday morning, not Sunday.

@@DeliRevv Good catch. Sometimes the dates can get a little fuzzy after 50 years.

They picked up Don Draper and brought him along to Woodstock.

@DavePocklington 4 месяца назад

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.

@HonJazzz 4 месяца назад

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)
