This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. It's not easy to pick one clip, and I'm glad we have a few days to showcase the best ones. Here's The Who's iconic performance of "My Generation".
What other Woodstock clips would you like to see up here in the coming days?

and this is one amazing performance. So real, so passionate...ok, so yes there were drugs...but so soulful.
Santana
What is your conceptual, continuity?
I agree 100 percent. Santana rocked -- the guitarist and the band. Best set of the festival. Loved Michael Shrieve's drumming.
BID
20? year old Michael Shrieve, the incredible drummer and BARELY 16 year old Neil Schon. With Carlos and the band. Schon was at my high school, two grades below me at the time, when he ditched to go to on the road and for this with Santana! San Mateo, CA is still proud of him! *G*
Can't believe wiki and elsewhere list Shrieve as the youngest!! Schon was!
I always thought Shrieve was only 16. I stand corrected. Anyways, "Soul Sacrifice" and Ten Years After's "I'm Going Home" are my faves.
Er...ah....Neil Schon didn't join Santana until 1971. He wasn't at Woodstock! Watch the Woodstock footage. He WAS, however, with Santana at the final Fillmore concerts.

Freedom
In 1966 or 67, when I was still in elementary school, the WHO came to our local high school and did a concert. My mom took my older brother and his friend to the school and dropped them off.
I had never seen such a mob in my life. I could hear Roger Daltry singing "My Generation" through the open gym doors. I tried to sneak in with my brother, but my mom grabbed me and said "no you don't"!
If I would have just been a little quicker. Damn!
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
hell. We won't be fooled again
Union Catholic HS in Scotch Plains, NJ. but I think it was 1967/68 when I was a freshman at a neighboring school. I later saw Black Sabbath at UCHS in 1970.
Amazing.

interviewed Arlo Guthrie on CNN's American Morning today (Thursday).
He admitted to being a Republican who thought Sarah Palin is "fun". He's against the government stimulus and health care reform. He wouldn't say whether he voted for McCain!
Holy Crap! Woody must be spinning in his grave.

I seem to have heard a rumour that video of Woodstock in the can is now being made available. Quill was one of the lesser known bands that played (releasing only one LP on Cotillion). Very psychedelic outfit: song titles such as "Shrieking Finally" and "Thumbnail Screwdriver". Would love to see a video from the vaults of them.
includes performances never before seen!
Joan Baez: One Day at a Time
Country Joe McDonald: Flying High
Santana: Evil Ways
Canned Heat: I’m Her Man – On the Road Again
Mountain: Beside the Sea – Southbound Train
Greatful Dead: Turn on Your Love light
Creedence Clearwater Revival: Born on the Bayou – I Put a Spell on You – Keep on Chooglin’
The Who: We’re Not Gonna Take It – My Generation
Jefferson Airplane: 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds
Joe Cocker: Something’s Coming On
Johnny Winter: Mean Town Blues
Paul Butterfield: Morning Sunrise
Sha Na Na: Teen Angel
Well, cest la vie.
"3/5 of a Mile in 10 seconds"? That should rock!
Joan Baez singing Joe Hill - so sweet, so mellow, so good.

...is there still nothing of the Band at Woodstock? I remember reading an interview with Robbie (before he was toot buddies with Martin Scorcese), in which he said one of the film makers told him the Band's stuff was *musically* the best stuff recorded there. But it still has never been released on film. Why not?
as I searched Youtube. My guess is that there must be some legal issues between band members and labels?

'twas beauty killed the beast...I vote for Won't You Try. Woodstock is a really fine Airplane performance, typifying what Ben Fong Torres wrote about them- that they would noodle, and not connect and meander and then finally soar, "and when they soared, they took us to places we never knew existed and to which we could never return again". Yep, I was 17, I was there from wednesday thru monday morning, and I get weird every summer about this time, no bones about it...Damn, I love Jefferson Airplane. What A Kingdom It Was...
who with one short performance, single handedly started the nostalgia craze
"Handsome Johnny"......which he co-wrote with Louis Gossett, Jr., by the way!
AWESOME!
freekin awesome
I'd like to see film of Janis Joplin at Woodstock. Grace Slick, Santana, and Ten Years after are all good; I wouldn't mind seeing them either.
...even though, like CSN and a lot of the album/film, it was heavily overdubbed in the studio.
Being overdubbed
..music/musician there. Or anywhere, while he was alive. What a loss.
RIP.

Here is a fun flash piece that tells a bit about Woodstock the festival:
http://www.aartpack.com/aartpack/woodstock/
A talented friend has been working on it for sometime and just finished it.
Lots of great suggestions.
As far as the Who is concerned.
I'm thinkin Live at Leeds. Magic Bus.
To bad that there's no footage available.
Young Man Blues works for me too.:)
