Woodstock

People, time and place

In 1969, Max Yasgur's farm in Bethel, New York became the setting for Woodstock, 3 Days of Peace & Music. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered to enjoy camaraderie and music together in a time and place that was so special, so innocent, and so far removed from today's hectic and sometimes threatening world. Some of the all-time greats of music including The Who, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young performed. Organizers tried to replicate the experience, but like all sequels, 'Woodstock 2' fell woefully short. If you watch the Woodstock DVD you'll get a taste of how powerul music can be in defining people, time and place. And if you love music from the 60's, I promise you'll get goosebumps.
