“Woodstock”—should have been a colossal failure Just a month prior to its August 15, 1969 opening, the council of Wailkill, New York, informed the fair’s organizers that it was withdrawing its permission to hold the festival
Amazingly, the organizers found a new site, a large field in Woodstock, New York, owned by a local dairy farmer Word spread to the public of the fair’s new location The event drew a larger audience than the organizers had expected On the first day of the fair, crowd estimates of 30,000 kept rising, traffic jams blocked most roads Leading to the area Some musicians could not reach the site to appear at their
scheduled times In addition, fences that were supposed to facilitate ticket collection never materialized,
so the organizers abandoned all attempts at taking tickets
But that was not all: as the large crowd gathered, so did summer storm clouds It started raining on opening night and continued for much of the three-day event To deal with the crowd, which reached an estimated 500,000 by the third day, helicopters flew in food, doctors, and medical supplies
Despite all of its problems, the festival featured some of the greatest musicians of the 1960s, including Janis Joplin; Joan Baez; Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young; Sly and the Family Stone; Creedence Clearwater Revival; and Jimi Hendrix Today many people think of Woodstock not only as a milestone for
