Dylan - at Doubleday field in Cooperstown a few years ago

It was awful.  Placed was packed - but  many left halfway through.  I stayed for entire event b/c I'm a Dylan diehard no matter what. My wife and daughter left to go to local bar for drinks.  At the end- I kind of wished I had left with them.
With that being said two years later I saw him in NYC and it was great.   
Guess everyone can be lousy some nights. smile

Eveyone's been there I think

The Aquarian Exposition as it was originally billed, was held at a 600 acre dairy farm owned by Max Yasgur in the rural town of Bethel, New York from August 15 to August 18, 1969. Bethel,New York, (actually 40 plus miles southwest of Woodstock). Thirty-two of the best-known musical acts of the time appeared in front of nearly half a million concert goers. The performers at Woodstock were of very diverse styles;
Richie Havens - Tim Hardin - Melanie - Arlo Guthrie - Joan Baez - John Sebastian - Country Joe Mcdonald - Santana - Canned Heat - Janis Joplin with The Kozmic Blues Band
Grateful Dead - Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Who - Jefferson Airplane - The Grease Band - Joe Cocker - Ten Years After - The Band - Blood, Sweat & Tears - Johnny Winter

  I imagined it a little rockier in a country rock style. Another winner.

Phill.


Phill
I transposed it down 5 semitones and got it in G


With that change I think I can play a lot easier and make it more "country rockish".

I agree, there's  a few lines that have too many words or something that it just doesn't fit -  that need re-working
Do you think the chord progression is ok or would you recommend a change there as well ?
I'll give it another go.
Thanks for the advice, as always, I appreciate your expertise and guidance.

Their have been some lyric changes - I think it's where I finally want it to be.
Hope you like it, it's my favorite of all the songs I've written
