Hi Everyone -
I just wanted to pop in at let you know about Goodstock 2007, if you haven't already heard. It's being produced by Artie Kornfeld (Woodstock 69) and Doug McClurg, and from what I'm seeing already, it just might be the place to go this summer. I've pasted their release below. If you're interested - pass this along. It could be the music event of this century.
I know they're also looking for tribute bands. Bands and soloacts should send all presskits and inquiries to allan@retro69.net, not Goodstock.
Hope to see everyone there -
Joanne

Goodstock 2007: LAST CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THE REAL WOODSTOCK 69!
GOODSTOCK 2007 MUSIC FESTIVAL. 3 DAYS OF PEACE & MUSIC
FROM THE CREATORS OF WOODSTOCK and the MIND GARAGE
GOODSTOCK 2007 will bring together the most amazing 60's and 70's bands from coast to coast for a 3-day festival. Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Starship, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Mercy and dozens of others, including the Electric Prunes, will reunite for this musical extravaganza. Experience the music, rock culture, peace and brotherhood of that era! Bands and fans - from Boston to Berkeley - will finally experience the musical event that they have waited decades for since Woodstock!
“I have watched the attempts to copy Woodstock by others, “ comments Artie Kornfeld, Goodstock 2007 promoter and co-creator of Woodstock 1969. "To me, these were over-commercialized attempts to take a great event and use it to rip-off rock and peace lovers. I consider Goodstock 2007 to be the first real attempt to have another 3 days of peace and music."
Goodstock 2007 is produced and promoted by Larry McClurg, of 60's band Mind Garage, and Artie Kornfeld, famed music industry song writer, manager, producer, and most notable as co-creator of the 1969 WOODSTOCK MUSIC AND ART FAIR - rock history's greatest 'happening' - on Yasgur's farm in upstate New York.
With nearly 50 bands booked to date, Goodstock 2007 will be held July 19 - 21, 2007 on 1000 rolling acres at the Good Evening Ranch in Summersville, West Virginia. Like Woodstock 1969, Goodstock 2007 is a 3-day music and camping event. The ranch will be transformed into Goodstock Village, as a festival of the sixties offering memorabilia, clothing and band attire, a 60’s museum style exhibit, bands performing continually, as well as a San Francisco style light show.
Camp in the Village or stay in nearby hotels. The Village will accommodate bands and music festival fans from nearly every state in the USA, as well as countries worldwide. Unlike Woodstock's for-profit imitators of recent years, Goodstock admission prices - that include camping - start at $28.00 for one day and go up to $75.00 for all 3 days. Goodstock 2007 is all about peace and music instead of generating profit.
According to Larry McClurg, Goodstock promoter, "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 2007 is. This is not an attempt to go back, re-create or re-visit. It is a new 'happening' and an opportunity for the whole family to experience a re-awakening of the ideals of peace and togetherness through music."

Re: GOODSTOCK 2007 - This Summer's Event Thank you Joanne!!!!
Thu, April 19, 2007 - 9:21 PMPerformance Opportunities for Woodstock Era Tribute Bands and solo artists with RETRO 69
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Contact: Allan Spielman
www.retro69.net
allan@retro69.net
In additional to the main acts planned so far, Goodstock LLC is strongly considering creating a day of “Woodstock 1969”, known as “Retrofest 1969”, featuring tributes bands performing many of the bands that performed at the three day Woodstock in 1969. The show will take place during the three day Goodstock event, and will closely follow the order of performances from the actual 1969 event.
RETRO 69 is seeking tribute bands that can accurately reproduce the sound, looks, and feeling of the original performers of Woodstock. After being accepted as part of Retrofest 1969, contingent upon Goodstock LLC providing a staging area with backline and sound equipment, all agreements and contracts detailing reasonable RT expenses and performance fees will be negotiated individually with Goodstock LLC. Meals and campsites are provided free to performers.
For consideration, please contact Allan Spielman at allan@retro69.net. Please do NOT contact Goodstock 2007 management. You will need to provide a proposed set list of the Woodstock performer(s) you plan on covering, as well as a link to a band website and/or press kit. Solo performers covering acoustic performers are also welcome.
Important: Allan Spielman has been asked as a volunteer to coordinate this event, but is in no way liable for any damages, injuries, or losses incurred by any band member, staff, volunteer, patron, management, or anyone else involved with Goodstock 2007.
Allan Spielman is not responsible for insuring the carrying out of agreements or contracts performers or anyone else has with Goodstock 2007. Allan Spielman is solely volunteering his time to help coordinate this event, as well as perform at it.
