Woodstock Now; An Aerial Tour - Bethel, NY 

Great piece of video and commentary, I've been to Bethel/Woodstock museum and grounds a couple times and It never gets old and a new memory Is made. Always something different I see, Life back then will never be again but at least It's preserved here so that we can all relive what was great. Thank You

It's sad to see the comments from jaded people saying it's been turned into a tourist trap. Instead of private land that you can't visit it has instead been purchased and has a museum educating people on the 60s and the festival and you can explore a lot of the original grounds. It's run by a non profit. You can see concerts in the amphitheater. Thanks to some visionary people this is a great site you can visit and see a lot of it how it was in the 60s. The Woodstock festival was supposed to be a for profit venture, it only became free because they had no choice.

We went over the 50th anniversary. Saw Arlo, Ringo, Edgar Winter, Blood Sweat & Tears and Fogerty…camped out at Yasgur’s farm down the road for 4 days. One of the best experiences of my life. ☮️❤️🎶

I've been here twice and it is a fantastic place to see music. So glad it was preserved for all of us to experience.

Woodstock is a reminder of the power of peace and love for one another in the darkest of times, Even today that message still resonates

What they have done to the sight is amazing, a lasting legacy for generations to come. True ! it looks a bit of a tourist attraction, but if it was just the field and nothing else, how bland would that be ? unless they held a Woodstock festival every year. I cant believe its now 53 years on, since those glorious 3 days in 1969. Makes me sad to think of all the young people who attended, that are no longer with us. Many went home too the draft ,never to return, but many were changed forever after their Woodstock experience. They learned about humanity and humility, and took with them a greater sense of caring. And it "did" define that generation, for all time. . .and we need all that now, more than ever. . .I wish I could have been there.

I am an aging hippie and still believe in the dream. Got to attend 20 Years After Woodstock Reunion in Los Angeles

Im so glad I came across this. Many reminiscences.

I so wanna go back! the first time experience was way way wayyyy more than I could ever expect ❤

So well done. Great soundtrack. Woodstock was historic in many ways ✌🏼

the voice overs are grand thank you!!

I just got back from Bethel Woods where I got to see the brick my kids dedicated to me ☮️ It’s a really awesome place to visit and memories flooded in that made me shiver.Gotta shout out to my friend Steve from Dana Point CA and his Jawa motorcycle that got us there ☮️

1:14 ''...We are gonna need each other, and help each other to work this out... ' ', 1:29: ''the man next to you is your brother''. This kind of things is what is missing among people nowadays.

My parents was there around the stage area! They have have great pics from it

As with Our Generation, the energies, the imaginings, the hope and plans for a future unknown... this place has changed with time. Some good and to serve others even those yet unborn and some could have just been left to be as it was. May we never lose what was found during those days and continue to bring Light, Love, Peace and Hope to the World and what it/we have become. July 2021

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

I’m just happy the Noo Yawk State Thruway is open now, man.

this is going on my bucket list !!!!what a wonderful place and time,,i'm 69 now,,

It is sad to me, that I was 10 years old in Kansas in 1969. For what I know about Woodstock is from videos on RU-vid. Love and Peace, that we don't have today 2022. I wish you could place the stage and where people joined to watch the bands. I can't visual it as it is today, it's confusing.

It was great hearing the PA announcements, but that "background" music was annoying as hell.

thank you for this....💙💙💙Absolutely LOVED the STILL PHOTOGRAPH for a reference of then,..& now.....I wasn't there,..but that's okay....my Soul can FEEL IT....💙💙💙

Cool video, but that non stop music loop in the background was outta control. I was ready to puncture my eardrums with a sharp object

I watched it with the volume muted.

Thank you.

I agree that background music is annoying. The rain chant from ‘69 whoaa ...oh oh oh oh better

It would be cool to see the old superimposed over the new.

Over these hallowed grounds a generation was defined.

That background noise is annoying!

was there in 94 at 25 anniversary ...camped there for 10 days , didn't cost a dime, total free show with lotsa Woodstock veterans playing .also was a ufo flying disc over our camp about 200 yards behind original stage in a little clearing . sober btw , ...not light in sky ,a metallic disc, bell shaped,25 feet across , no lights. no sound, right at dusk..close enough to see the windows that went across the top . maybe 75 feet above our heads … heard people in woods coming up trail, turned to yell for them to look ,turned back and it was gone.. saw it for a good 10 seconds. Woodstock is indeed scared land ,lota energy, cosmic place .especially when you realize that there is no past or future ,just the eternal now .everything happens all at once . I am heading back for 50th anniversary , nothing free this time ,but maybe this time I can catch a ride home.... -infinite creation dreams us into ecstatic creations of reality -for ever and ever...

The sight around the front stage was a lot larger than it is now because those trees at the top of the hill that weren’t there before.

Quite nice! Bravo! Thank you!

dude.,.... not sure if it was because you wanted to monetize the video? but this video needed a song. one full song, not the same 10 second tune repeated over and over and over again...

You can still see the shape of the actual area of the show, which is cool. I didn't see anything there, but it'd be cool if they built a nice little permanent amphitheater on the spot they can use to put on shows. Imagine how great it'd feel to be sitting out in the stars one night in the exact spot of Woodstock listening to some great music. I'd be like a dream. Maybe they have something they put up for events and take back down. Either way I'd love to see a show there.

I'm from the UK and this is one location I'd love to visit. I did post on trip advisor to see if any trips went from NYC to this memorable place, it does seem a difficult place to get to though.

Very Very cool!!! Thank you!

Only way to visit/have Woodstock these days is a time machine. Sadly, nothing like this can ever happen again. I regret being born too late. This site now looks like your average tourist trap. Magic's all gone.

Só quem era jovem em 1969, agora pode sentir a emoção de ver as imagens aéreas belíssima de Bethel onde foi realizado o maior, o melhor e mais louco festival de Rock do mundo, denominado Woodstock. Curti muito, eu só tinha 18 anos.

Woodstoock...que hermoso campo...Saludos desde Chile...😀

Great job!

Awesome.

The Woodstock festival site has its good and its bad sides. The good is that the concert site itself that you see in the old pictures has not been built upon and can be visited and walked upon. The bad is that the "museum" up on the hill overlooking the concert site has a totally un-woodstock vibe. It's better fit for a Long Island winery or wedding venue. Well, you can't win them all.

The actual field always looks so tiny from the air. But overall the entire site looks fantastic.

I'm from Wisc. and have made the trek to the site seven times. Yes you guessed it I'm a crazy Woodstock nut. It's great to finally see an aerial view of the site as it is now. But who's idea was it to put that crappy obnoxious music in there? I had to mute the audio. It was torture.

I was there for the 50th Anniversary!

very nice

Nice!!!!

Да были люди в наше время.....не то что нынешнее племя.......Ностальгия..............!!!!!!

What song is that? Is the title of the song To Much Acid Blues?

can we please do this again? I'd do anything in the world to get 400k people together again to have another woodstock

Didn't they have one in 1999

Woodstock teme, by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young" shoud be played, as back ground music" not that crapy music, thats nothing to do with the festival" and too repetitive" 😤😱🤢

Going to be seeing Limp Bizkit and Bones here for Loserville 2024 ‼️‼️‼️

Sacred Land Indeed!

we're going to make it a place that generation hated

Brasil Paraná Ribeirão do Pinhal

looks totally commercialized. i don´t think i would even want to go there.

Wood have been much better if Richie Havens "Freedom" was playing in the background instead of this incredibly annoying music ... WTF was that ???

Why are people compelled to insert themselves into something that would be beautiful- if they didn’t. Can someone re do this without that ? Music.

WTF with the crappy music, Woodstock was a once in a lifetime thing, never again!!!

I didn't like the music that accompanied the video it was too repetitious

They turned it into a fucking tourist trap!! What a shame!

Background music is awesome!

HAD TO MUTE!! Obnoxious music!! How about something FROM Woodstock?!

Looks like the younger generation, that has no idea what happened here. Built some touristy crap to make a buck.

What a lame repeating edit on the backing music! Awful and annoying!

I always thought that announcing the "sacrifice" made by the promotors, was just gratuitous and rather cringy. Too much preaching made to the masses, who were already well-behaved.

They should have left it as it was, just a field. Why does eveything have to turn into a a f*cking museum/corporate money making ugly monster, exactly what the original Woodstock WASN"T. Bullshit.
