Woodstock Music and Art Fair was held at Max Yasgel Dairy Farm in upstate New York, starting from1August, 969 15 and lasting for four days. It was rainy and chaotic, and was declared a disaster area by the United States. Most people present said that this was the most magical and unforgettable experience of their lives. This is a music festival more important than music.

Ironically, Woodstock was originally a profitable enterprise founded by two friends, who wanted to set up a recording studio for musicians who were tired of their busy work in Manhattan, a rural area in northern new york. They joined hands with two new entrepreneurs, four of whom decided to hold a music festival to raise the necessary funds to pay their expenses.

From the beginning, things started to go wrong. Due to the problem of zoning law, the original venue of the film festival broke down one month before the start of the film festival, which forced the film festival sponsors to determine another venue, which turned out to be Max Yasgel Farm in Bethel, new york.

As the date of the film festival approaches, the construction of the stage and the actors' pavilion will be completed on time. They did it, but unfortunately the ticket office and ticket booth didn't.

Another disturbing problem is that the estimated number of 50 thousand audience attending the concert has dropped sharply. As Joni Mitchell's song about the film festival tells us, "When we arrived in Woodstock, there were already 500,000 people", which was enough to cause a large-scale traffic jam on the expressway in new york. Once it was found that the tickets could not be received, the organizers thought Woodstock was a free concert, and it was estimated that 654.38+0 million people tried to go to Bethel, that is, one in every 200 people in the United States tried to go to Bethel at that time.

Sticky and wet. Then it began to rain, turning everything into a wet and dirty swamp. The audience of the concert will have to wait in line for 30 minutes to get water, and it will take an hour to go to the toilet. Most people are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.

, but there is almost no trouble. Everyone in Woodstock seems determined to prove to those in power that people can really unite and act peacefully. From August 15 to August18,500,000 music festival participants enjoyed the music of these major artists, including joan baez, Grateful Death, janis joplin, World Health Organization, Creeden clear Walter Renaissance, Santana and jimi hendrix, with almost no accidents, which are all part of making history.

"No one really realizes how counterculture this is," commented Anthony DeCurtis, a special editor of Rolling Stone magazine. "The characteristic of Woodstock Music Festival is that it is really unexpected. No one really predicted what it would become.

But what has it become? Peter Fornatale, the author of Back to the Garden: The Story of Woodstock, said: "This is the beginning and end of this generation's realization that they are a consumer group used by American companies. Woodstock Music Festival has never happened before, will never happen again, and will never happen again.
