Where any of you FOGs there?? :smokingbo

[Headbanger]

I was a puppy and parents were not hippies.

[indyrob]

I was still swimming around in Dads sack at the time.

[Fox]

I actually had a chance to go. However, I got a chance to travel through Mexico with a couple of friends, for the entire month of August, 1969. All three of us took the Mexico trip instead. We had a blast and never regretted going south instead of heading to NY.

[Boppa-Wasch]

Got drafted 2 days before the event. Had tickets!! Six of my friends went. One got pregnant. Dennis Bellanger, played base for Grand Funk early on, was in my platoon in basic. Talk about bad timing!!!!:peace: :dunno: :usaflag:

[Black Dog]

I was only 7 years old, so unfortunately, no. It would have been something to witness though.

[DocLogic77]

It's possible that I was birthed at woodstock.

[sarnone]

I was 18 and getting ready for college. On the preppie side so I had no desire to go. However, in my first couple of months at school, I deeply discovered sex, drugs and rock n' roll. Made the replay at Watkins Glen in '73. It is a blur to this day. Nobody was cognitive enough to take any pictures. There was a lot of rain, pyromaniacs and naked people walking around.....The Dead, The Band, Allman Bros., EL&P, Deep Purple, Rare Earth, Eagles......back then, this was not a spectacular lineup except for the first three.

We were about 600,000 drug crazy, motherhuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, I never tell my kids these stories.

[ATCDub]

I was three and my parents said I couldn't go. It would have been incredible to see live though.

[tobby4]

I was not even a thought at the time

[Wasch_24]

I wish!

[tobby4]

yea it would have been fun, that is for sure...

[caudio51]

bump for the new FOGs

[oneaday]

Damn there are 30 of us that didn't go. That's amazing, back in the day everyone you asked that question of replied "Oh I was there, man", I figured the entire east coast was there except for me. I would have loved to have seen Cocker, Jimi, Janis, CCR, The Band, Santana, The Who and even Country Joe all in one weekend. Looked like one hell of a party.

[caudio51]

Yea, I was surprised to see that too

[CWS]

BOTLs seem to be more honest. In a general crowd my age it seemes like everyone was there. :laugh:

[jwintosh]
