WOODSTOCK

The concert called Woodstock was mainly put together by four individuals. Michel Lang and Artie Kornfield were the two who were more of the creators and dreamers of the concert. John Roberts and Joel Rosenman were the money investors. The four of them wanted to create a concert like no one had ever seen or thought of before. So they chose a place in Bethel upstate New York. It was a pasture for dairy cows owned by Max Vasquer.

The music was the core of the entire experience of Woodstock. Woodstock was the birthplace of some musical stars such as Santana and Janis Joplin. It also was the end point for some well known bands such as The Grateful Dead, and then soon after, Jimi Hendrix and Arlo Guthrie. Some of the other attractions to the concert would be Jefferson Airplane, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Blood, Sweat and Tears, and The Who.

The young Americans were given a chance to express themselves to each other and the world. The only committed crime was trespassing. Throughout the entire concert there were only 2 deaths and 2 births. The town had thought of the hippies as renegades of the law and thought that there would be a lot of crime. ” But there were still those who left on Sunday night who missed Jimi Hendrix’ mid-morning version of the Star Spangled Banner. The ones who stayed during the rain said, “It was more fun than without the rain.

The dreamers who made Woodstock possible wanted the concert to be three days of peace, love and music. There were really only two deaths at Woodstock.

Woodstock was a well-mixed group of young Americans. ” The youth there were also full of a righteous attitude. ” They did not only experiment freely with sex but they also experimented with drugs. The first happened on Saturday morning when a 17-year-old young man was crushed by a tractor while sleeping in a field. Some people left in fear of the rain spoiling the event but those that stayed made the best of it. For the most part, the concert was full of peace, love and music but it was also full of drugs and people overdosing and even death.

The young Americans who attended the Woodstock concert were full of adventure and experimented with things.
