I was entering my sophomore year in HS. I did not go. Frankly. I think it was over before this rural awkward western Illinois almost farm boy even knew about it. Loved the music once it got published. 8-Track baby.

And also remember that 50 years ago Bryan Adams got his first real six-string.

I went to the one in 1994(25 years later)...it was a great time!
Not the one in 1999...that was a horror show, from what I heard.

Fun Fact:

Richie Havens had the honor to open the Woodstock Festival at about 5.00 pm (sources[1] claim that it was exactly 5.07 pm).
According to an interview on TV[2] there were originally four songs planned for him. But since the audience liked him and the
organizers forced him to play longer (bands were stuck in the traffic jam) he was happy to perform more songs. He further claimed
that he played every song he knew the next 2:45 hours but this is quite exaggerated since there were bands who also performed
during daylight on this day. Sunset occurred around 8:00 pm[3].
