...just cool it out. We'll sit

here with you. It will be okay.

All right, everybody, just sit down,

wrap yourself up.

We're going to have to ride it out.

Hold on to your neighbor, man.

Please get off those towers!

We don't need any extra weight on them!

Please move away from the towers.

The lamps might give us a problem.

Everybody who is in the

back, please move back.

We have to get away from these towers.

Please move away from the towers!

Put the mike stands down on the floor.

Cover all the equipment.

Let's keep it nice and cool.

We'll be back with Country Joe in just

a second as soon as we get set up.

Okay, so come on down off the towers.

Hey, if you think really hard,

maybe we can stop this rain! Yeah.

Please move away from the towers.

Jody, get off the stage.

The wind is blowing this way.

Please be on this side of the towers.

Everyone in the back, please move back.

Just take it calm and easy.

I see it. Please move

away from the towers.

I think the wind has run through it.

It is okay?

Give us some room. Go slowly,

but move back. It will be cool.

Just move away from those towers!

We don't want one

of those lamps to be blown. Please!

That's it. Everybody just help get

away from the towers and clear them.

And look up, very seriously. Let's

think hard to get rid of it, please.

No rain! No rain! No rain!

Keep thinking it!

Keep your eyes on those towers.

It's going to blow through.

Try and keep yourselves comfortable.

And keep an eye on the towers.

Hey, cut the power off

up there, all right?

What do you want?

We're going to have to turn off

some microphones for a minute.

Hang in there with us.

God bless you and watch those towers.

Let me get down with the mike.

Oh, can I talk to you a minute?

Sure. What do you want to know?

Do you like the rain?

Yes, yes. It's nice.

It, it gets you clean.

What are you thinking about?

Does, is this encouraging, or what?

Definitely not. It's great! Just a

little added attraction, that's all.

You, at least, you don't have

to wait for clothes to get dry.

Groovy! I dig it! I dig it!

Do you think it's coming off well

with all those f***-ups, or what?

Yes. The only, the only

hassle is the mud, that's all.

Does this discourage you at all?

Or is it all right?

Mud. A drag!

I can't believe it!

Do you feel discouraged at all,

or is this all right?

It's a bummer!

It's fine.

Peace, brother!

I've got something to say.

I want to know how come the Fascist

pigs have been seeding the clouds?

Right! For the last hour and a half.

Going over twice with that, with all...

...with all the smoke coming out of them,

seeding the clouds.

I want to know, know why that

stuff is going down there.

And why doesn't the media

report that stuff to the people?

You want to talk about what's happened?

I'm telling you these planes...

...come over an hour and a half

and they seeded all the clouds.

This is the second time

they did it today!

I don't know what they

hope to prove, man.

What's going on here?

Sharon Silverstein,

return home immediately.

Your father has been taken

for open heart surgery.

Please stop at the

information booth right away.

The first Aquarian Exposition.

The forecast for this afternoon is...

...intermittent entertainment

between intermittent showers.

Somebody was saying this is the

second largest city in New York.

There's been no police.

There's been no trouble.

If you check the statistics out...

...you'll find that...

...these people have lived,

over three hundred thousand people...

...have lived together peacefully,

loving each other...

...feeling for each other, want,

needing for each other...

...and wanting to make

this the experience it is.

What are they doing?

They're dropping dry, they're

dropping flowers and dry clothes.

Out of that helicopter?

You said a moment ago that

this wasn't the end of this festival...

...that this was a beginning.

What do you mean, a beginning?

Well, well, look at it!

This is the beginning

of this kind of thing.

This culture and generation, away from

the old culture and the older generation.

And you see how they

function on their own.

Without cops, without guns,

without clubs, without hassle.

Everybody pulls together and everybody

helps each other and it works.

It's been working since we got here.

And it's going to continue working.

And no matter what happens when they

go back to the city, this thing happened.

And it proves that it can happen.

That's what it's all about, you know.

That's the whole thing right there.

Mr. Kornfeld, was, was this

a suc... , a financial success?

From the point of view of

the fellows that put it on?

It was a financial disaster!

Why do you say that?

Well, we just opened the gates and let

everybody in. It's a free festival...

...paid for by the people

who put up the money...

...or the people that are

going to have to pay it back?

Uh, paid for by the people

who bought the tickets.

The two hundred thousand, of which I

don't know how many of them got here.

No, this was paid for by, by

all the people that bought it.

By all the people...

...that had the thought that put it

to the point, to get us in a position...

...to just be a tool,

like, like a vehicle...

...like everybody else.

Just to get it to this point.

You're in the red?

Oh? The company?

Financially? If you tried

to think in those terms...

...when you're talking

about something like this...

...financially, this is a disaster.

But you, you, you look so happy!

I'm very happy!

You can't buy that for anything!

Sure, this is really beautiful, man!

These people are communicating

with each other.

That, that rarely happens

anywhere anymore.

It has nothing to do with money.

It has nothing to do with tangible things.

You have to realize

the turnabout...

...that I've gone through in the last,

in the last three days.

In the last three million years

that l, meaning us, all of us...

What do you mean, the turnabout

in the last three days?

Just to see, just to really realize,

what's really important.

The fact that, that if we can all

live together and be happy...

...if you have to be afraid

to walk out in the street...

...if you have to be afraid

to smile at somebody...

...what kind of a way is that

to go through this life?

Marijuana!

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome

Waters, Country Joe and The Fish!

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

We're certainly delighted

to be here today.

I'd like to start off

my portion of the show...

...by giving you a taste

of a little something we call...

...rock and soul music.

"Oh, your love is like a rainbow..."

"...your love is like a

rainbow, darling. Now..."

"...your love is like

a rainbow, I said..."

"...your love is like a rainbow,

all around my shoulders, yeah..."

"...performing all around my shoulders."

"You know that your love

is like a rainbow..."

"...falling all around my shoulders.
