GOODSTOCK 2007
By Team JamBase Apr 16, 2007 • 12:00 am PDT
Artie Kornfeld – one of the creators of the legendary Woodstock festival – has joined Larry McClurg in producing and promoting Goodstock 2007. “Over the years since 1969 there have been attempts to recreate Woodstock. They had the acts and had the stage but they did not have the Goodstock 2007 feeling of reliving of a moment when all good came together through music as one. They never got back to the Garden at these events. I consider Goodstock 2007 to be the first real attempt to have another 3 days of peace and music. I feel magic AGAIN.-Artie Kornfeld
July 19 – 20 – 21 2007
The Mind Garage returns with all the original members and dozens of 60’s and 70’s bands from New York to California. Experience the music, rock culture, peace and brotherhood of the era with the bands and fans from Boston to Berkeley who were there the first time. Goodstock 2007 is great time for families all ages. The event will begin with the opening of Goodstock Village, as a festival of the sixties with vendors of 60’s memorabilia, exhibits of the era clothing and band attire, a 60’s museum style exhibit, bands performing continually, plus the re-creation of a 60s San Francisco light show. Camp in the Village or stay in nearby hotels. The Village will accommodate bands and fans from nearly every state in the USA, and from any other country, that has declared an interest in a casual celebration. Meet contemporaries and recapture the spirit of the times past. Camping on the 1000 acre storybook ranch is included in the ticket price.
Goodstock has a home in Summersville West Virginia, July 19-21
What is Goodstock? You’ll think it’s 1969. Imagine the excitement of seeing the stars and legends of rock who played the Fillmore East, West and Woodstock, with the bands who opened for them, and the fans who were there, all in one place again. That’s what Goodstock will be like. In the 60s things were still on human terms. You could get close enough to bands to mingle, meet eye to eye, even hang out later, before big money promotions and fame put the great divide between bands and fans. At Goodstock that’s over. Come meet and talk with musicians and people who knew Janis, Jim and Jimi. Experience history first hand as you create some of your own.
Artie will be at Goodstock. With over 120 platinum records to his credit as a writer, performer and producer he was the youngest Vice President of Capitol Records when the Beatles were there. Artie’s first hit came when he teamed with Jan Berry (of Jan & Dean fame) to write “I Adore Him,” which became a Top-30 hit for The Angels in November 1963. Jan and Artie wrote a number of songs together for other artists, and scored a major Top 10 hit in 1964 with Jan & Dean’s “Dead Man’s Curve,” which Jan and Artie co-wrote with Brian Wilson and Roger Christian. Jan passed away in 2004. Among many other compositions, Artie also co-wrote “The Pied Piper,” a Top 5 smash for Crispian St. Peter in 1966, and “The Rain, The Park, and Other Things,” (I love the flower girl) a chart-topping single for the Cowsills in 1967. Artie’s mark on the music world and all of us is indelible. To celebrate Jan Berry’s life, and his songwriting relationship with Artie Kornfeld, Goodstock will feature a Tribute to Jan Berry and Jan & Dean with a song by Woolly Bandits.
According to Pollstar.com, “The acts are the new local heroes of the U.S.: popular MySpace bands. McClurg advertised on MySpace and, after getting 500 responses and reviewing hundreds of CDs, accepted 90 bands and turned down 190 others. Each band gets $3,000 to hop in vans and get their butts to West Virginia.”
