Le festival est commencé depuis bientôt deux jours. Une foule de 350 000 personnes, une pluie constante et trente heures de concert ont déjà eu raison de la colline de Saugerties, NY, qui accueille le très bien (sur)nommé Mudstock — « mud » signifiant « boue ». Primus entre en scène au milieu d'une vision VHS de l'apocalypse ; un bal des monstres, tourbeux à perte de vue, crypté par une compression télé dans laquelle les nuances de la foule ressemblent à des braseros. Les Claypool, bassiste, chanteur et leader du groupe, mène la sauterie dans un mélange d'humour, d'absurdité, [...]

Woodstock Music & Art Fair (informally, Woodstock or The Woodstock Festival ) was a music festival, billed as "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music". It was held at Max Yasgur's 600-acre (2.4 km²; 240 ha, 0.94 mi²) dairy farm in the Catskills near the hamlet of White Lake in the town of Bethel, New York, from August 15 to August 18, 1969. Bethel, in Sullivan County, is 43 miles (69 km) southwest of the town of Woodstock, New York, in adjoining Ulster County. During the sometimes rainy weekend, thirty-two acts [...]

Roughing it is not my thing. The closest I've ever come to going camping were the few weekends that my best friend Lori and I spent at Moby's old house in the Catskills. It was big and stunning, and it had running water, but it was usually cold, and there was no Internet service! I might as well have gone back in time to 1890 -- or 1990! I'm a five-star kind of guy, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. When my friend Devarni recently announced her plan to go hide out in the jungle of [...]

Earlier this week there was question about whether last night's Midnight Ramble at Levon Helm's studio on Plochmann Lane in Woodstock, New York would be by candlelight after Hurricane Irene knocked power out at the famed barn. Luckily power was restored and yesterday's very special Midnight Ramble with guests Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers went on as planned, with electricity. [Photo via Weir's Twitter account ] Bruce and Bobby teamed up for the first time in [...]

The Zone (ft. Drake) - The Weeknd left it all behind.

The original Woodstock Music And Art Fair kicked off on this date in 1969, in a large farm located in Bethel, New York (which is technically about a half-hour southwest of Woodstock proper). And whil

Yeah, it was 42 years ago this weekend, more or less. I came upon a child of God, he was walking along the road. And I asked him, "Where are you going?" And this he told me: "Sir, you can park up in the parking lot." He was one of the volunteers who hang around the green, grassy fields where they held the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, about 42 years ago. We drove up there from New York City on a hot July Monday, and we walked through the nice museum and the [...]
