Woodstock Page #10

You go walking down the street

where all the cars were coming in...

...and it's just the first day,

and it was just beautiful!

Everybody is free.

Everybody is talking.

Everybody is really nude.

I don't think, uh, people

come here to get uptight.

They come here to dig what's going on.

And even if they don't get

into a festival, it's just a groove...

...being with all the people.

You know, you realize all over the

country, they're coming together.

You realize that you're not

the only people in your city...

...who are doing the things you are,

but they're everywhere.

We're taking over!

I think the body is beautiful.

I think skinny dipping is just beautiful

if, if you want to do it, if you can do it.

Some people can't, because all their...

...their environment made them,

you know, feel that it's wrong.

Even though they know in their

subconscious that it's right...

...it's kind of normal and natural, but

we've been made to feel that it's wrong.

Row, row, row!

"Row, row, row your boat,

gently down the stream..."

"...merrily, merrily, merrily,

merrily, life is but a dream."

No, I haven't done

this too often before.

Get it pointed in the right direction!

Well, did I miss any big spots?

Your cheekbone.

Here?

Why don't you tell me

something really interesting?

I can't, really, standing

there with the microphone.

Don't worry about it. Don't let it

intimidate you. It's just a microphone.

I know, but it's very intimidating.

Just tell me anything, like

anybody you'd like to meet.

Oh, wow! I don't know.

What did you think about the kids?

From what I've heard from outside

sources for many years...

...I was very, very much surprised.

And I'm very happy to say...

...we think the people of this

country should be proud of these kids.

Notwithstanding the way they dress

or the way they wear their hair.

That's their own personal business.

But their, their inner workings,

their inner selves...

...their, their self-demeanor

cannot be questioned.

They can't be questioned

as good American citizens.

That's kind of surprising

coming from a cop.

I'm not a cop. I'm a Chief of Police.

We've got one more tune for you.

It's called "Soul Sacrifice."

Ladies and gentlemen, Santana!

"I wanta, I wanta, I wanta, I wanta..."

"...take you higher."

"Baby, baby, baby, light my fire!"

"I'll take you higher."

"I wanta, I wanta, I wanta, I wanta..."

"...take you higher..."

"...take you higher..."

"...take you higher!"

"I wanta, I wanta take you higher!"

"I wanta, I wanta,

wanta take you higher!"

What we would like to do

is sing a song together.

Now, you see, what usually happens...

...you get a group of people

that might sing...

...and for some reasons that are not

unknown anymore, they won't do it.

Most of us need approval.

Most of us need to get approval

from our neighbors...

...before we can actually let it

all hang down, you dig?

But what is happening here...

...is a sing-along. Now, a lot of

people don't like to do it...

...because they feel

it might be old-fashioned.

But you must dig that it is not

a fashion in the first place.

It is a feeling...

...and if it was good in the past,

it's still good.

We would like to sing a song

called "Higher"...

...and if we could get everybody

to join in, we'd appreciate it.

"Wanta take you higher!"

"Higher!"

What I want you to do, is say "higher"

and throw the peace sign up.

It will do you no harm.

Still again, some people

feel that they shouldn't...

...because there are situations

where you need approval...

...to get in on something

that could be so good.

"I wanta take you higher!"

"Higher!"

Now, if you'll throw the peace sign up

and say "higher", get everybody to do it.

There's a whole lot of people here

and a whole lot of people...

...might not want to do it...

...because they can somehow

get around it...

...they feel there are enough people

to make up for it...

...and on and on, et cetera.

We're going to try higher again,

and if we get everybody to join in...

...we'd appreciate it.

It will do you no harm.

"Yeah, I wanta take you higher!"

"Higher!"

"Way upon a hill, I'll take you higher!"

"Yeah, I'll take you higher!"

"Going to take you higher!"

"Higher!"

How are you out there?

You're staying stoned and

you've got enough water...

...and you've got a place to sleep,

and everything?

Good morning.

What we have in mind is breakfast

in bed for four hundred thousand.

Now, it's not going to be

steak and eggs, or anything...

...but it's going to be good food

and we're going to get it to you.

It's not just the Hog Farm, either.

It's like the Ohio Mountain family

and the Pranksters...

...and everybody else that volunteered...

...putting in their time into the free

kitchens. In fact, it's everybody.

We're all feeding each other.

We must be in heaven, man!

There's always a little bit

of heaven in a disaster area.

So, if you want to make it

back to your campsites,

we'll try and get the food to you.

Or if you stay here, we'll

try and get the food to you.

Now, there's a guy up there,

some hamburger guy...

...had his stand

burned down last night.

But he's still got a

little stuff left...

...and for you people that still believe

that capitalism isn't that weird...

...you might help him out and

buy a couple of hamburgers.

Okay, here it comes! Mess call!

Good morning.

Left side of the audience,

stage right here...

...that wants to be fed...

...has got to slowly move

it through the forest...

...to the Hog Farm where we've got about

seventeen lines going, uh, to serve with.

If you start your lines going through

the forest, you'll wind up...

...going into a line

that will take you

right to where all

the food is being served.

Helen Hayman, to the front.

Jim MacLean,

please go to the pink and white tent

hospital as soon as possible.

And kissing builds up your mouth.

Richard Moss and Barbara, meet

us at the information booth.

Cort Ritcher or Greg Hollander, go to

the Ferris wheel at twelve o'clock.

Greg's sister has his medicine.

Okay, Gayle, wow!

S, i, r, i, n, c, i, o, n, e...

...meet your daddy-o at the first aid

station, near the security office.

If you've got food, feed other people.

Bugsy, to the pink and white tent.

Keep feeding each other.

And if you're too tired

to chew, pass it on.

We have a gentleman with us.

It's the gentleman upon whose

farm we are. Mr. Max Yasgur!

Is this on?

I'm a farmer. I don't know...

I don't know how to speak to...

...twenty people at one time,

let alone a crowd like this!

But I think you people have

proven something to the world.

Not only to the town of Bethel, or

Sullivan County, or New York State...

...you've proven something to the world.

This is the largest group of people

ever assembled in one place.

We have had no idea that there

would be this size group...

...and because of that you had quite...

...a few inconveniences as far as
