woodstock

. . .
By Sunday, the state police figure was 450,000 and attendance kept rising. He had wanted to “close the show” with his rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner”. The Wallkill Zoning Board of Appeals officially banned Woodstock on July 15, 1969. The fans were attracted by the presence of the most famous rock bands and performers of the time. A man by the name of Elliot Tiber heard about Woodstock Venture’s problems in Wallkill, and informed them that he had a permit for a music festival to be held in the town of Bethel, New York. Stands were ready to sell souvenirs, like, hand-woven belts, headbands, and drug paraphernalia. Two weeks before the festival, Woodstock Ventures had already sold 180,000 tickets. Saturday August 16, 1969 - the attendance was estimated at 250,000 that morning, the biggest audience in history. The 300-acre Mills Industrial Park offered perfect access. Woodstock had 5,162 medical cases, and 797 documented instances of drug abuse. For four days, the site became a counterculture nation in which minds were open, and drugs were accepted. I was also not aware that the festival was held in Bethel, New York or how high the attendance was. Instead the Earthlight Theater stripped and screamed obscenities at the shocked crowd.
