the spirit of the sixties part 8: Woodstock festival - three days of peace and music

1969, the counterculture revolution is at its peak.
the hippies are trying and experiencing new life styles: communes, free love, open mind drugs,new psychedelic music, civil rights demonstrations, etc. and also experiencing resistance and violence from the authorities and from the frighten conservatives public. but how much hippies are there? how much power do they got? no one knew, that is until Woodstock Festival.
in Woodstock it happens. for 3 magical days, everybody understood just how much hippies there were and how much power they got.
It was held at Max Yasgur's 600-acre (2.4 km) dairy farm near the hamlet of White Lake in the town of Bethel, New York, from August 15 to August 18, 1969. Bethel, in Sullivan County, is 43 miles (69 km) southwest of the town of Woodstock, New York, in adjoining Ulster County.
During the sometimes rainy weekend, thirty-two acts performed outdoors in front of 500,000 hippies that came from all over the U.S.!
It is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most pivotal moments in popular music history and in the counter culture revolution, and was listed among Rolling Stone's 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll.
although the crowdedness, the rain, and the hunger they had fun, they collaborated together, accepted each other, helped each other, fed each other and succeeded living in harmony, all 500,000 of them.
we have to learn from them, and make the world a better place!
The event was captured in the successful 1970 documentary movie Woodstock, this is some editing that I've done from this movie.
enjoy!
