1232.0. "Woodstock `94" by WOTVAX::GILLILANDP (Not very Tuna-friendly) Mon Aug 15 1994 14:29

    Well despite having at least a passing interest in it, I managed to
    miss every report/news item on the Woodstock Festival this weekend. 
    So what happened? Did it piss down again? How many of the original
    artists were there? Who else was there?

1232.1I had it in my living roomCOPCLU::SANDGRENKeep it simpleMon Aug 15 1994 15:4542
	I watched a good part of it during the weekend. It's a long trip
	from Denmark to Woodstock, so I trusted the local cable, and
	with my 29" TV screen, together with a good quality stereo sig-
	nal on my 2X150W hifi, I was almost there in person! And most of
	what I saw was very good...I did the following observations:

		* Joe Cocker opened the show very well

		* Just as he was in the beginning of his amazing
		  version of 'Summer In The City', a bitch started
		  babbling all over the music and they started to show
		  something from the other stage, then got back just
		  when he finished the song. *#@!!

		* There were some annoying swedish commentators throug-
		  out the weekend, waiting for every possible moment to
		  come up with some idiotic comments

		* Crosby, Stills & Nash were very, VERY GOOD! An absolute
		  top performance!!!

		* Allman Brothers were also FABULOUS! What a guitar show!

		* A young man took a good bite of his girlfriend's naked
		  breast during the Allman Brs. show

		* Spin Doctors were good, but lead guitarist could do
		  with a better sound - and all their songs just sounded
		  too much the same

		* Traffic were good - but Stevie Winwood should keep to
		  his keyboards instead of trying to do an EC duplicate

		* After the show with american gospel, I can now say that
		  I fullhearted and completely dislike this sort of music

	I have a lot more on tape, looking forward to go through it the
	next days...

1232.2over-hyped but over thereJURA::MACFADYENAugust and everything afterMon Aug 15 1994 17:008
Local radio station was playing it yesterday. Sounded like your
standard US stadium rock affair to me, with an overlay of naff 
peace'n'love sixties references made all the more nauseous by the
strong smell of money-grubbing surrounding the whole affair. But
what do I know.
