WOODSTOCK

Woodstock was a microcosm of the '60's era reflecting the music, sexual activity and attitudes of the youth. The "three days of peach and music" introduced some of the greatest songs and musicians of all time. The concert also exposed new experiences for the youth in attendance such as drugs, and ideas (sexual behavior and behavior towards authority and "old" ideas).

The concert called Woodstock was mainly put together by four individuals. Michel Lang and Artie Kornfield were the two who were more of the creators and dreamers of the concert. John Roberts and Joel Rosenman were the money investors. The four of them wanted to create a concert like no one had ever seen or thought of before. So they chose a place in Bethel upstate New York. It was a pasture for dairy cows owned by Max Vasquer.

The music was the core of the entire experience of Woodstock. Woodstock was the birthplace of some musical stars such as Santana and Janis Joplin. It also was the end point for some well known bands such as The Grateful Dead, and then soon after, Jimi Hendrix and Arlo Guthrie. Some of the other attractions to the concert would be Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Blood, Sweat and Tears, and The Who.


The Woodstock experience was loved by all the people who attended. The young Americans were given a chance to express themselves to each other and the world. The ones who stayed during the rain said, "It was more fun than without the rain." But there were still those who left on Sunday night who missed Jimi Hendrix' mid-morning version of the Star Spangled Banner. The ones who stayed and heard Hendrix said it was the highlight of the weekend.

The dreamers who made Woodstock possible wanted the concert to be three days of peace, love and music. For the most part, the concert was full of peace, love and music but it was also full of drugs and people overdosing and even death. There were really only two deaths at Woodstock. The first happened on Saturday morning when a 17-year-old young man was crushed by a tractor while sleeping in a field. The other death was when another young man overdosed and died.

The town of Bethel had a bad prejudgment of the hippies and the Woodstock concert itself. The town had thought of the hippies as renegades of the law and thought that there would be a lot of crime. But the concertgoers showed them wrong. The only committed crime was trespassing. Most of the farmers and landowners around Bethel had trouble with the hippies using their ponds as bathtubs. The hippies believed that the water was for everyone.

The musicians who played at Woodstock were remembered for a lifetim
