Publisher's Synopsis
The Woodstock Music & Art Fair was held in the United States in 1969 which attracted an audience of more than 400,000. Scheduled for August 15th-17th on a dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains of southern New York State, northwest of New York City, it ran over to Monday, August 18th. Billed as 'An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music', it was held at Max Yasgur's 600-acre dairy farm near the hamlet of White Lake in the town of Bethel. During the sometimes rainy weekend, 32 acts performed outdoors before an audience of more than 400,000 people. It is widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history, as well as the definitive nexus for the larger counterculture generation. This book captures the history and magical moments of the event like never before.
