Woodstock Music and Art Festival

The Woodstock Music and Art Festival was a rock festival held at Max Yasgur’s 600 acre dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York from August 15–August 18, 1969. It is perhaps the most famous concert and festival ever held. For many, it exemplified the counterculture of the 1960s and the “hippie era”. Many of the best-known musicians of the time appeared during the rainy weekend. Joni Mitchell’s song “Woodstock”, which memorialized the event, became a major hit for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Though attempts have been made over the years to recreate the festival, the original Woodstock festival of 1969 has proven to be unique and legendary. (Wikipedia.Org)

Man what an experience if only I was born 40 years earlier

I was but in my country (Poland). I like it and this is a very important festival for me, because I found the sense to my existence in watchwords it propagate (love, peace and music )
