The Concert of Concerts... Now I have been to some awesome concerts and festivals including Coachella, Lolapalooza, and Bonaroo. I have also seen on video Glastonbury, and many individual concerts that rocked. But I must say I wish I could have experienced Woodstock Live. I was looking at a poster of mine that my uncle gave me, and original from woodstock that I have in a frame. Heres the Line Up!
Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Richie Havens, Sly and the Family Stone, Tim Hardin, Nick Benes, Sweetwater, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, The Whou, Jack Harrison, The Band, Jeff Beck Group, Blood, Swea & Tears, Joe Cocker, Crosby Stills & Nash, Iron Butterfly, Jonny Winter, Ten Years After, and Jimi Hendrix. No tell me how you gonna fuck with a lineup like that. WHat an event. Heres the doosy for 3 days tickets cost 18.00! One Day tickets were 7.00 each! crazy! Never will there be a concert to match this caliber Unless Parliament, Prince, Micheal Jackson, David Bowie, Rage Against the Machine, Crowded House, Fishbone, Sade, Carole King, Herbie Hancock, Patrice Rushen, The Roots, Smashing Pumpkins, and Outkast do a show together! Which will never happen! Carpenters bend wood, fletchers bend arrows, wise men fashion themselves.

Brother I believe you're opening a door that many would prefer remained firmly closed.
When you compare the ticket cost of that concert to what some of today's "performers" will charge you, a head shake might be the minimum reaction. It was simply a different time. Here's an interesting numerical breakdown on Woodstock: http://www.woodstock69.co..._stats.htm As further evidence, take a look at some of the shows presented by one of the premiere venues of that day, The Fillmore East in NYC... April 26-27 1968: Traffic Blue Cheer Iron Butterfly May 10, 1968: Jimi Hendrix Sly & The Family Stone July 19, 1968: Jefferson Airplane H.P. Lovecraft February 21-22 1969: Mothers of Invention Buddy Miles Express Chicago May 23-24 1969: Sly & The Family Stone Clarence Carter Rotary Connection Dec 31, 1969: Band of Gypsys The Voices of East Harlem April 1-3 1970: Santana Rahsaan Roland Kirk Tower of Power May 21-23 1970: Leon Russell Taj Mahal Donny Hathaway http://www.fillmore-east....wlist.html Not only were they musically diverse shows (thanks to Bill Graham), they ran 2 shows a night (8pm & 11pm) with ticket prices of $3, $4 & $5!!! When they closed in 1971, the ticket prices had only gone up 50 cents. Think about that the next time you shell out your hard earned cash for some questionable "artists". tA  Tribal Disorder

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 TA, you definitely said a magic keyword which is Bill Graham. This man was the promoters of promoter back in the Late 60's & Early 70's. | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 I would like to know how the prices compare after being adjusted for inflation. Did you know Irving Plaza was recently renamed The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza? There was supposed to be a screening there of the Fillmore film last week. | |

I suppose it was the least they could do after that historic building's (The Fillmore East) sad treatment. tA Tribal Disorder

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 According the Wikipedia entry on Woodstock (not always completely reliable): Tickets for the event (sold in 1969) cost US$18 to buy a ticket in advance (which would be US$95.58 in 2005 with inflation factored in) and $24 to buy a ticket at the gate for all three days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock | |

Still a bargain when you consider Coachella this year was $249 for all three days. spelling [Edited 6/19/07 16:39pm] | |

Wait, now that I'm looking at the lineups for both Woodstock and Coachella, maybe it comes out even since the latter featured a lot more acts over the three days on multiple stages. | |

we have a free concert with that same title here in Detroit each year. so when i saw your thread, i was like hmmmm, who knows about the Concert of Colors on the org. sounds like the concert you're speaking of was its inspiration though.
ours was birthed by an Arab-American community based organization and is now a collaborative attempt for people to experience diverse artists from different cultures around the world. This year Hugh Masekela will be one of the headliners. They've had everything from Chinese orchestras, Native American folk singers, Detroit techno artists, Burning Spear, and the Neville Brothers to name a few. it's quite a, well, colorful event. | |
