On the 43rd anniversary of the legendary Woodstock music festival, held in Bethel, New York, a series of remarkable photographs taken at the time offer a window on the landmark event celebrating music and peace. Woodstock Music & Art Fair was staged at Max Yasgur's 600-acre dairy farm in the Catskill mountains near the hamlet of White Lake from August 15 to August 18, 1969.

I can’t help but notice the trash strewn everywhere.
I was 17 at the time and went to a few rock festivals here in the pacific northwest - Woodstock had a great music lineup and would have been fun.
Oh, don't ask Stargazer to lift his arms!
Its as if I can still smell them.
LOLOLOLOLOL... Oh dear God...but did they breed?
Dain.. why don’t you ask New Yorkers what those fuzzy wonderful hippies did while in New York?
Why don’t you ask about the crime rate that went up because of those scumbags, the trash everywhere?
When Woodstock was originally held, NONE of the musical lineup were famous or known bands.
And if the press hadn’t played up non-event, none of them would have been known or famous afterwards either.
It was akin to several highschool garage bands getting together.
The only reason we keep hearing about “woodstock” is because of leftist nostalgia for ‘glory days’ that never in actuality existed.
Yes, and their kids are tenured at Berkley ( or you name the college) teaching Social and Sexual Justice and Historical Socialist Economics 101 through 401....
Jefferson Airplane, The Who, CCR , Joan Baez, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were not well known?? Are we thinking the same Woodstock here?
The worst part? Seeing as how the Greatest Gen is leaving us in droves now, the bloody baby boomers are going to saturate us in endless documentaries about the flower children and Woodstock and how “they” were important too.
It was a great music festival..wish I was there as do most people if they had the chance.
The only good thing that happened at Woodstock was Pete Townshend attacking Abbie Hoffman with his guitar.
Very good!! :-)
Yes.
It’s the time honored tradition of, “I am still relevant” that they do everywhere they go.
Most often seen in mouldy old college professors.
“It was a great music festival..”
..that also happened to be a celebration of leftist fantasy, drug subculture, and anti-war/anti-military sentiment.
No. Hendrix was a big deal having become more widely known earlier after Monterey in '67. The Who was of course was well known coming in...
And if the press hadn’t played up non-event, none of them would have been known or famous afterwards either.
CSNY and Santana certainly deserved their fame having participated in Woodstock.
Ahh...I remember when you needed a can opener to drink a PBR.
It was only CSN at Woodstock.
