Woodstock ’94. I ordered 2 tickets for my girlfriend and I, they sent me 11. We were 1st in line to bus transfer from parking to site, they forgot to ask us for our tickets, I still have all 11 tickets including guides. So we got in for free and still hold onto them now. What are thy worth today? Well nothing people say. But the experience of Woodstock ’94, is priceless to me still today. We were not allowed to bring in cameras, no cell phones back in that day. But I snuck one in and I need to scan them how do I do that there’s no way. I don’t believe in cell phones don’t even want one today. My memory will always remain. Got a lot of stories to tell you from the 2 stages and the man made rain. Still wasn’t like the first one though we smoked Gold Seal Hash from Canada that was the best there they say. I liked the songs between bands that were in memory of those that did not make it, well their spirits were with us, ’94 Woodstock was to remember the songs of back in’69, still with us today. Thanks for the great times I had in Woodstock, ’94 then, still rock’n today. So be it.
