Yes, this could really happen. NY Daily News reports that Michael Lang, who helped put on the famous 1969 festival, is hoping to put on a Woodstock 40th anniversary concert in Prospect Park’s Long Meadow this summer. However, he needs to find $8 million to $10 million to pay for it by the end of the month. The event would be billed as a throwback to the original with bands like Crosby, Stills and Nash and Dave Matthews Band (different from the ’99 fiasco). Do you think this is a good idea? Would you go?

  1. I’m amazed at how many negative comments are posted here. I must be missing something.

    Also, to whoever thought that nobody from the original Woodstock is still alive, you’re mistaken. We still have a handful of musicians going strong –

    Crosby, Stills, Nash
    Neil Young
    Santana
    Richie Havens
    Country Joe
    John Sebastian
    Arlo Guthrie
    Joan Baez
    Most members of the Dead – (Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzman, Donna Jean Godcheaux)
    John Fogerty (who still puts on a great show without Creedence)
    Pete Townshend & Roger Daltry
    Joe Cocker
    Levon Helm (also puts on a great show without “The Band”)
    Johnny Winter
    Paul Butterfield Blues Band

    That seems like a pretty solid group of artists to me.
