Podcast appearances and mentions of bethel woods center

Send us a textHi everybody and welcome to today's episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. At Dick's in 2013, Phish famously used the setlist to spell out the phrase: “Most Shows Spell Something.” It was a good goof at the time, but it also inspired thousands of fans to take the message literally and inspect the band's song choices at any given show and, sometimes, craft a motif, theme, or narrative that might change a listener's perspective and they would see and hear the show through a completely different lens than usual. Today's guest, Jeffrey Rosenberg tells us that at least one show spelled something. Jeffrey chose to discuss August 9, 2024 at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Where most of us would hear a standard-great Phish show that night, Jeffrey heard meditations on love, action, addiction, recovery, and more. At times, today's conversation may sound like the podcast version of the Always Sunny in Philadelphia Pepe Silvia meme, but as you listen, I hope you can hang with Jeffrey and I, whether or not you think the theory holds water.But in the end, that's what Attendance Bias is for: every fan gets their own story, and every fan's perspective is valid. As you'll hear me say a few times during today's episode, I'm grateful that Jeffrey came on the show to share his perspective, because he was able to talk about songs that I've heard literally hundreds of times and, with a few sentences, provide a new way for me to consider the lyrics. It stuff like that, that makes this podcast such a joy. I hope you feel the same way after today's episode.So let's join Jeffrey to talk about New York tornadoes, summer 2000, and The Mary Tyler Moore show as we discuss August 9, 2024 at Bethel Woods.

Check out this EXTRA special episode of This Is Happening! Co-hosts Eric Morris, Doug Budin, and Georgie Leahy interview John Morris about his incredible career producing rock concerts beginning with the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, opening the Fillmore East with Bill Graham, heading up production at Woodstock, opening the Rainbow Theater in London, and more! Full disclosure, John is Eric's uncle and we talk about the new documentary CREATING WOODSTOCK on which they collaborated with director Mick Richards and which comes out in August to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock. Check out www.creatingwoodstock.com for more info about the film. John has led a fascinating life and tells great stories about managing the Fillmore East - including helping Jimi Hendrix with a wardrobe malfunction onstage, plying Janis Joplin with Southern Comfort when she was freaking out about having to follow an electrifying set by BB King at her first NYC show, pranking Jim Morrison by stranding him in the rafters as payback for the Doors playing a show for a rival concert promoter, and much more. John also talks about how he got involved in putting Woodstock together and how it became "a free concert from now on" as he announced from the stage in August 1969. John regales us with other adventures including the Grateful Dead spiking his Coca Cola can with acid at a Central Park concert and seeing Eric Clapton return to performing supporting Leon Russell at London's Rainbow Theater after a few years away. And he talks about shifting out of producing rock concerts and into producing art shows, including: Objects of Art at El Museo in Santa Fe August 8-11: www.objectsorartsantafe.com and The Antique American India Art Show Santa Fe at El Museo August 13-16: www.antiqueindianartshow.com If you're near New York, you can see John speaking about Woodstock following a screening of CREATING WOODSTOCK at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts - on the site of Yasgur's Farm, the site of the original Woodstock festival. https://www.bethelwoodscenter.org/events/producing-woodstock-panel-and-film-the-people-who-created-the-festival Or if you're in Los Angeles, CREATING WOODSTOCK is screening at the Grammy Museum in DTLA on August 12 followed by a panel including John, along with Woodstock producer Joel Rosenman, artist coordinator Bill Belmont, and CREATING WOODSTOCK's director Mick Richards and producer Eric Morris. https:/www.grammymuseum.org/events/detail/creating-woodstock Enjoy!

We recently attended the 2019 Museum Association of New York annual conference and spoke with attendees from all over New York State representing all types of museums and cultural institutions. I talked with folks from 21 different museums and cultural institutions about how they are creating inclusive environments, attracting new audiences and fitting within the tourism fabric of their community. We used these great insights to create another Museum Series (see last year’s series here) with five episodes filled with knowledge. Through this series, I hope you will find a new perspective on this important segment of the tourism industry. In this episode, I share my conversations with: Julia Fell, Assistant Curator of The Museum at Bethel Woods Natalie Shoemaker, Marketing and Events Coordinator of the Roberson Museum and Science Center Jessica Moquin, Executive Director of the Chenango County Historical Society and Museum Anastasia Garceau, Director of the Waterford Historical Museum and Cultural Center What You Will Learn in This Episode: How The Museum at Bethel Woods works to preserve and showcase the history of the 1960s, leading up to 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair that took place at the historic site where the museum is now located How an innovative “pay it forward” program is promoting inclusivity by allowing visitors who are financially struggling to still be able to visit the Roberson Museum and Science Center How the Chenango County Historical Society and Museum is intentionally developing partnerships with the Bundy Museum and the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum to help promote inclusivity in a region not known for its ethnic diversity How the Waterford Historical Museum and Cultural Center is promoting inclusivity by partnering with The Arc of Rensselaer County to showcase the work of artists with mental and physical disabilities The Museum at Bethel Woods Julia Fell shares the important mission of The Museum at Bethel Woods as a part of the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, located in Solomon County, New York. She discusses its role in the preservation of the history of the 1960s, culminating in the Woodstock festival that took place in 1969 on the historic grounds where the museum now stands, and she talks about the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Woodstock festival in August 2019. She discusses the efforts Bethel Woods and the museum are making to promote inclusivity through a variety of programming that targets many diverse audiences, she highlights their efforts to meet ADA accessibility standards, and she shares efforts to attract new young audiences. Julia discusses a series of oral history videos highlighting what life was like in the 1960s for young people of the day, contrasted with what life is like for today’s youth. She shares how the museum serves as a primary driver and important economic engine for the local community. She discusses the upcoming 50th anniversary of Woodstock and the boom in interest it is bringing to the museum. Roberson Museum and Science Center Natalie Shoemaker explains how the historic Roberson home serves as both the location for and the centerpiece of the Roberson Museum and Science Center located in Binghamton, New York. She discusses efforts to promote inclusivity at the museum including installing non-binary bathrooms and the use of inclusive pronouns. She shares how she wrote up an exhibition about a series of art pieces created by people with mental illness, and she shares the important lesson she learned when she inadvertently used a non-inclusive word in the write-up. She discusses the importance of continual growth and evolution in the area of inclusivity. She talks about the economic depression that is common in the area, and she discusses a “pay it forward” donation program to increase access to struggling community members. She shares efforts to attract new audiences to the museum. She gives information on social media outreach work she and the museum are doing to promote their exhibits. She shares how the museum fits into the local cultural fabric and discusses future opportunities to work with college students and older community members. Chenango County Historical Society & Museum Jessica Moquin describes efforts the Chenango County Historical Society and Museum are making to promote inclusivity, despite being located in a region not known for ethnic diversity, through intentional partnerships with other organizations such as the Bundy Museum and the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum. She shares how the museum is working to attract new audiences including a structural redesign of their main gallery and hallway lobby, as well as sharing stories about the region and the lasting impact it has made beyond its own borders. She discusses how her museum is one of four in the area, and she shares how the four museums are collaborating to develop an officially designated museum district to promote each other and attract new audiences. She shares future growth opportunities she recognizes for the museum and its more than 40,000 artifacts, eight-structure campus, and almost one hundred active volunteers. Waterford Historical Museum and Cultural Center Anastasia Garceau discusses the variety of historical and educational purposes the Waterford Historical Museum and Cultural Center in Waterford, New York serves in an effort to preserve and promote local history and heritage. She highlights the diverse backgrounds and perspectives the museum’s volunteers bring to its efforts, and she shares partnerships with groups like The Arc of Rensselaer County, a community-based organization advocating for and serving people with mental and physical disabilities. Anastasia talks about her efforts to create engaging programs covering a broad spectrum of interests that will attract a diverse audience of visitors. She shares how Waterford is a great tourism location with many different and diverse destinations to appeal to travelers, and she shares how this directly benefits the museum and allows to serve as a central location connecting these sites. She discusses how the museum is always looking for growth opportunities and ways to expand their existing programming. Overview Each of these organizations is truly committed to tackling inclusivity issues in their own unique and innovative way. From the Roberson Museum and Science Center’s use of non-gendered pronouns and offering of non-binary restroom facilities, to the Waterford Historical Museum and Cultural Center’s partnership to highlight the artistic contributions of mentally and physically disabled artists, each of these museums has found a remarkable and stand-out way to promote inclusivity, attract diverse new audiences, and further integrate their work with other tourism and cultural efforts of their communities.

Rolling Stone journalist Andy Greene joins Tim to talk about plans to mark the 50th anniversary of Woodstock and the legacy across generations left by that iconic original event in 1969. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Woodstock_Then_and_Now_auphonic_II.mp3   From August 16th through the 18th of 2019, the original organizer of Woodstock will host a 50th Anniversary event in Watkins Glen, New York. Michael Lang, that original planner, said there will be more than 40 performers at an event that he says will get back to Woodstock’s roots and as he puts it, the event’s original intent. This event is one of two Woodstock 50th anniversary concerts that will happen in Upstate New York on the same weekend. The one hosted by original Woodstock promoter Michael Lang is called Woodstock 50. The other event will be called the Bethel Woods Music and Culture Festival. That event will be held at the original Woodstock site at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Live Nation is sponsoring that festival. While Woodstock 50 appears to be primarily a music event, the Bethel Woods event will include cultural and community activities, including a history exhibit and some TED-style talks. One thing you can be sure. On the third weekend of August this year, Upstate New York will host scores of people, some looking to relive a moment in their youth, and others seeking to create one. History On August 16, 1969, the original event, called the Woodstock Music & Art Fair, took place on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York. Over 500,000 people, mostly teenagers and college-age traveled from across the country to a 600-acre farm. It was the biggest rock concert ever. The promoters gave up collecting tickets after a while. They sat in the heat and the rain to hear 32 acts that included some well-known and some not-so-well known musical acts. But if the event were just about the music, Woodstock wouldn’t be the phenomenon that it became.The late 1960s were a time for youthful rebellion, anti-war protests, the emergence of a counter-culture. And of course, there was the music. Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, The Who, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Still, Nash & Young, and Joni Mitchell were some of the headliners. Over 100,000 tickets were sold before the Woodstock festival started, and by the end of four days of music, over 500,000 people endured rain, heat and spartan conditions to create a happening that is now part of history. Andy Greene has been following the anniversary activities and plans as part of his role with the Rolling Stone. What’s Different This Time The original attendees are 50 years older. They are now retirees for the most part. The prices have changed: 3-day passes $429-$4,200 for VIPs. Woodstock 50 at Watkins Glen will center around The Glen, a racetrack with capacity for 40,000. Expected to draw 100,000 in terms of ticket sales with three main stages. The Bethel Woods festival will center on the Center for the Arts, an amphitheater with seating for 15,000. There will be more stages, but it’s likely that 500,000 number from the original event won’t be matched.
