Throughout 2014, we asked our fans to share their memories, photos and stories from the timeless gathering back in â69. Among the the many gems we received, here are some of our favorites: âConsidering that we actually were âhalf a million strongâ, it was quite a statement of my generationâs frame of mind (with or without drugs) that so very few incidents occurred during those wonderful 3 days. So happy I got to be thereâŠchanged my life forever. Still a hippie at 63!ââ Lenore Madden âMy friend Bob and I drove through mobs of traffic on Friday to park within a few miles of the festival grounds. We trekked in by foot. By the time we made it, the fences were down, our tickets were unnecessary, and the music was on. But what stopped us in our tracks was the massive size of the crowd, with all its energy and makeshift madness. Through thirst, hunger, rain and song, we bonded as one huge organism. Three days later, after Jimi brought those of us who stayed to a rousing finale, we drove home to lives that would never be the same again.â â John Bowman âMy ride was a vintage VW Bug. The one shown in this picture, and the little umbrella tent, just to the right of it, in front of the red VW Micro Bus, was our home away from home⊠â â Will Smith âMy family had a summer home in Kauneonga Lake, White Lake Homes. We heard there was a concert to be held up the road from us. We were told 50,000 would show up. 500,000 actually did. Although we didnât have tickets we were able to easily attend. Roads were jammed. The town ran out of food. Having a home there, we were in luck. We had food, and could bathe. The rain turned everything into a muddy mess but what an event. Glad to have attended.â â Elliot Brender âGlad I stayed to say the leastâ â John Chappina âI was their with my dear belated brother Robert Howard and I was 17 at that time and he was 21 in his then brand new VW Bug . What great memoriesâŠâ â Joseph Howard âI remember the calm voice of the announcerâŠhe was our only source of news, information, lost children, bad drugs, towers in danger of falling because of high winds. He was so calm and steadyâI was only 16 and was never afraid.ââ Lorraine Gerbino Sylvain...
