Title: Remembering Woodstock - 40 years later Post by: Doktor on August 15, 2009, 00:30:14 am Rock music, VW Bugs...all that stuff is great part of my life as long as I can remeber.
When I was a kid, my father uset to drive 1972-'73 VW 1200 (Sparkaefer model) and when he was younger, he played rythm guitar in a popular rock band in ex- Yugoslavia. All that made great influence on my lifestyle, and music that a listen - most of the time that's a good old rock music. I listen to the music of those rock bands for about 26-27 years (now I'm 30)...and that still sounds fresh and nice...you can't beat classics. For my age (I still consider myself young) am aware of many good bands from that time... Some of my favorite bands or musicians from then (in no particular order) are: Jimi Hendrix Grateful Dead The Rolling Stones The Doors The Beatles Pink Floyd Carlos Santana Crosby, Stilly, Nash &Young Led Zeppelin The Band The Who Ten Years After Neil Young Bob Dylan Of course, I was a teenager in the ninties, so I had to have my own favorite groups of rockers like: Nirvana Pearl Jam Soundgarden Alice in Chains U2 R.E.M. But all that is something that goes well with aircooled VW lifestyle... After I finished high scool and went to university, that was a time when my interest for everything aircooled began to grow. My grandpa left me his VW Bug and in a little different shape, I still own the car today. To be exactly, bug is awaiting a good restoration work this autumn... And to finish intro to this topic are some photos of a 25th anniversary collection Woodstock 4 CD boxset, that I bought ten years ago in the middle of my college time...

Please, share your memories, thoughts, and even music recommendations...

I don't remember much other than the crowds, and a few songs from the time.
