Woodstock. Celebrating 50 years. Anyone go?
Saw a great program on Woodstock last night. Detailed the history behind it and how the event organisers were hugely over run with non paying arrivals. 50,000 was the permit application and 500,000 turned up.
2 weeks time it was 50 years ago. Doesn't seem that long ago.
Interesting watching the interviews with surviving band members and organisers. Credence Clearwater Revival shots, Hendrix was one of the last billings and most people had left before he got on stage.
Hippies, Jesus sandals, tie dyed clothes seem to have given way to orthopaedic shoes, bald or nearly bald heads and conservative shirts.
I remember it of course but who here might have attended??
