WOODSTOCK REMEMBERED
NOV 2006
CANADA
Happy Remembrance Day all.....
Well I didn't have much planned for remembrance day so I thought I'd revisit an old battle scene on this day so I popped the woodstock 1969 Festival into the dvd.
Watching as I write and I have a whole new perspective on it. I ran across some info that said that whole period was a result of the astrological alignment of the stars and planets so that gave me a whole new perspective as I watch with that in mind.
well the building of the site by the promoters occurs. everything going according to plan but then after 9 months of planning the reality of it begins and hen the roads start to jam as the people come and they keep coming and the concert is almost ready to start and then it bombs as its announced probably after some discussion of cancellation that the concert is now free and then becomes a rather boring display of disappointment because the promoters and powers that be have just said good bye to about 3 million dollars which in todays terms would be about 30 million or more dollars. The stench of the bombed finances and plan and order fills the concert. This goes on and on and on into a kind of redundancy and naseua until by some stroke of happenstance or whatever the skies open up on the scene.
The winds and rain come and people are bored and depressed and now wet and cold and probably a lot went home because the "escape" they sought wasn't happening and instead they were being asked to participate in the $ ruin of the event but as the rain keeps coming in the ensuing physical discomfort a kind of "bonding' is occurring at all levels because the rain seems to serve as a "uniting" factor through shared hardship and in the bonding people start to relax and loosen up and yes it boring and uncomfortable but what the hey.
This then is like a great group and communal "baptism" of sorts. and then everyone crashes for the night still a bit bummed but warmed by the bonding with total strangers.
Then something seems to be happening behind the scenes. I get a real sense that the the ruined program or plan has been totally abandoned along with its somewhat perhaps typical agenda and now a new plan and program and program content and song choice and list are being spontaneously organized and that is the turn around it seems. The order and program are spontaneously and stigmergicaly "adapting" and a interesting transformation or birth seems to occur. It starts to take on the form of a "jam" rather than a concert
The worst scenario has happened yet instead of canceling or going home people start to "improvise". Spontaneously everyone and I mean everyone starts to relax.
A new atmosphere or even consciousness takes form and you go from a 1/2 million people concert and audience to a 1/2 million people jam and the distinction between performer and audience sort of is lost and a group consciousness is formed. The audience and performers are now in sync and free to improvise and create and that I suspect is when something new and powerful is born or begins.
