Despite all the attempts to recreate it, no music festival has ever been as famous as Woodstock. The three-day festival took place in 1969 at a farm in Bethel, New York, and saw some of the most iconic acts of the day take the stage. However, while the people who made it to Woodstock had an experience of a lifetime, not every aspect of it was easy. The festival was incredibly poorly-planned, the parade of cars caused a horrible traffic jam, and the lines for the bathroom could have you waiting for an hour (or half-a-song for Grateful Dead fans). Let’s take a look at some messed up things that happened at Woodstock.

I remember woodstock very well. The first night I was hanging around with my dad, partying and having a good time. The music was loud, the drugs were kick ass. It was dark and I remember bumping into something for around five minutes, that's when I lost my footing and slid down this long tube and ran into my mother. I am so glad she was there to catch me. We became so close, we were in separable for the next nine months. Then she kicked me out into the cold cruel world. I was on my own!

Woodstock wasn’t just about the hippies, it brought together roughly 500,000 completely unique different kinds of people, living diverse lives, from far and wide for a hand full of different reasons, could have been drugs, love, or even a free concert but what was astonishing was that they were all there in the moment for the same relative reasons. And that folks connected us all, love and peace! Hopefully we can all unite again for such a cause

There are better examples of massive numbers of people uniting for peace. Uniting for sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll isn't uniting for peace. There's a difference. I bet you would've been in a bad mood if you went to Woodstock. Some dude would be fucking your girlfriend while you're watching some shitty performance by some band you thought you liked. You'd be hungry and have to go to the bathroom. It would smell like shit.

I was a teen in the 70s. I was a kid in the 60s. There was a structure and routine to life at that time that was conservative, predictable, "safe". Think Perry Como, Doris Day, and Andy Williams. Girls wore dresses, boys had short hair. I loved being a kid then because I felt secure. Then *this* happened, and it was new and exciting and unlike anything we'd ever seen. Even though I was underage there were plenty of other large-scale gatherings that I participated in, like the Walk For Mankind; 26 miles of just walking from point A to point B. Kids now in long hair and bell-bottoms, sneaking cigarettes and beer, guys and girls flirting and checking each other out. Just one big, collective co-creating. No guns, no fights, no shitty ugly music. Just a cool, organic evolution of changing values and experiences.

My older brothers were old enough to be there, but also lived on the other shore of the US, so they weren't there, either. Surprising me was the amount of drugs and only one OD in the three day event that resulted in death. Really an amazing time to be alive.

The music was great, but we were wet, we smelled, and all that hippie bliss was quickly wearing thin."

I remember seeing a much more indepth documentary about Woodstock. In it, someone connected with planning and setting it up explained that they were running out of time, and the construction crew didn't have time to finish *both* the stage, and the fence. So they asked whoever was in charge, "Do you want a stage, or do you want a fence? Because we can't do both". The answer they were given was, "Well, we have to have a stage."... Once word got around that the fence around the concert/farm was incomplete and actual monitoring of people entering with paid tickets would be impossible, people from all over made the pilgrimage to get into Woodstock for free.

Before New Paltz, I attended Oakwood Friend's School, just south of Poughkeepsie. I love the Hudson Valley, many great memories. A friend from college and her husband still live in Rosendale. I had a GF who was majoring in gold and silversmithing at New Paltz, and one day, we took a drive up to Woodstock, to look around. It was all a bunch of cool little shops, we found a shop that specialized in jewelry making supplies, and she bought a bunch of materials for her course. Sue, I was told that every year, people hold a "Woodstock Anniversary" festival, somewhere near Bethel. Is this true? Because I would love to go there sometime.

Actually there have been a few, Woodstock Sound Outs were in the late 60s (the first festival was an expansion on this but they carried on till 71) and free, organised by fans. Woodstock 79 was a cash in at MSG then there was Woodstock '89 which is mostly forgotten, it's now even subtitled the forgotten Woodstock, which was mostly successful apart from cars getting stuck in the mud at the end. Woodstock '94 was pricy but value for money and had a good mix of established and up and coming artists, although lots of mud was thrown. (Confusingly this fourth incarnation is sometimes called Woodstock 2) Then you get to Woodstock'99 which was over priced and basically turned into a riot with people looting the vending concessions (bottled water at $25 for 100ml didn't go down well) then setting things on fire. So far that has put the kibosh on it. But actually only the 99 one was a total disaster.

Even today, and I go thru trough White Lake every other year, the community was not and is not equipped to handle that may people . The "Band" did the best show,I liked them a ton. We stood at attention when Jimmy H. played the anthem,Cocker looked like he was fucked up,Santana also great.I ,if you were there took cars of you as well as a thousand little children playing in the mud, which was about 20% human waste, and the hill was DESTROYED!

This particular festival, just happened to get ridiculous word of mouth advertising that nobody could have foreseen so many people coming, especially since it was the first year, and especially since it was in the 60's. The Earth population is so much bigger now... But even then, not even Bonnaroo has half a million people and it's run by mtv. And here we are 60-70 years later. You ever throw an open invite party?

My parents had great times at the 99 and even though they born right at that time they never went. They both say even with their not being at the first one, that the 99 one was nothing like 69. But they say it wasn’t nearly as bad as we think 99 was too. Everyone’s biased. Hippies are biased, nazis are biased, conservatives are biased, scientists are biased. I like to take the worst accounts and the best accounts and treat them both like fact and bring them together slowly working opinions down to a “balance” even though I am sure that true balance does not exist in humanity and probably nature.

Well, Townsend's probably right. What I mean is that he probably didn't intend to hurt Hoffman, much. Again, he could've knocked him into next week. Looking this up, I can find no confirmation that the guitar hit actually happened. The interruption certainly did, and Townsend being annoyed by it, and shouting at Hoffman, but the instrumental whacking itself I can't find. Maybe it did happen, but it was a very gentle whack, if there was any whack at all.

Good ole rock n roll folklore. I read somewhere that he actually only nudged him with the guitar but the excess string coming from the headstock jabbed him in the back of the neck, causing him to jump off the stage. Who knows? Guess it’s best left to the imagination

"2 people died... one from an overdose and one from a tractor accident". CORRECTION (cause I was there) - One guy died in his sleeping bag when a water truck backed up over him, and a woman with appendicitis died in the ambulance because they couldn't get her to a hospital, past all the backed up traffic. I was sleeping in a car on the side of the road when I heard the ambulance go past...

Everyone talks about what a love-in it was. An uncle of mine lived in San Francisco in 1967 during the "Summer of Love". He recalled it being a din of drugs, crime and hostility. You couldn't walk down the street without someone asking you for or demanding money, trying to rob you or threatening you. Plus he said everyone smelled terrible.

Woodstock was never intended to be the size it became. Yeah, some messed up things happened but you know something... with all the people and total lack of supervision and law enforcement along with all the people that were called in on the moment, it was still a safer concert than ANYTHING that would or could ever take place today. AND THAT IS A FACT.

Pete Townshend did not hit Hoffman on the head with his guitar , he was far more clever . As most guitars in the day strings hung from the head of the instrument ,he flicked his guitar and on purpose cut Hoffman's neck with a loose string. Townshend remembers it cut Hoffman very close to the jugular and it bled a lot .He knew this because Hoffman glared at him from just off stage for the whole song, at which point Townshend mouthed sorry followed by fuck off. These people should do their homework far better.

Oh man, you are certainly not doing it right. Festivals are like heaven on Earth. So much amazing art, open minded/beautiful people.. You don't need drugs, just love and an open mind. They can be pricey sometimes(way more cost effective considering how many artists are there), the earlier you get the ticket the cheaper. Or if you volunteer, you do easy work for half the festival and do whatever you want for the other half. To the guy talking about headliners, wandering around and discovering amazing new artists is a lot of the experience to me. You shouldn't go to a festival with a strict schedule that you feel like you should adhere to. Just wander and enjoy things that you run into. Just like life, you'll have a lot more fun and discovering so many beautiful things that way. Seriously blows my mind.... But hey, I guess if you're not in the right mind set or not with the right people, any situation can seem sour. I remember one year at wakarusa(now non existent festival) it stormed like crazy. Me and my girl had a blast, while her friends that got separated from us, ended up crying and having a miserable time. Needless to say we were shocked when we found them so distraught.

agree, they try to make 69 sound like it was 99. there's no comparison. i was at 99, my mom let me go because her parents wouldn't let her go to 69 (they had a family vacation that weekend). but i've heard from all her friends that went what it was like at the original, and i've seen tons of footage from it. the same peaceful chill atmosphere of 69 we see on camera, doesn't exist anywhere in footage of 99. the drugs were a lot worse. the organizers were a lot worse. the price gouging was a lot worse. people were bat shit crazy at 99. and it wasn't the metal band fans doing it. it was the pop rock bands of the time. Limp Bizkit and Red Hot chilli peppers mostly. it's pretty bad when Zach de La roche from Rage against the Machine has to get on stage and ask all the dipshit limpbizkit fans to stop destroying the sound equipment otherwise it is physically impossible for them to continue playing. no problems at Rage, Megadeth, or Metallica for 99. godsmack audience was chill, sevendust audeince was chill. ice cube audience was chill. dmx audience was chill. frickin drugged up red hot chilli peppers and limp bizkit fans though. there was a nonstop rave going on at 99 in a blacked out hangar that was churning out overdoses like they were the new iphone. one bottle of water cost 4$ at the beggining of the festival. i brought 300$ with me, but i doubt most other people had such an overkill of cash, which turned out not to be overkill, but instead was just right. gen x'rs sucked man. i'd take my hippie alcholic mother any day over the average 99 attendee. there were people clmibing up the rafters and jumping off of them to the pavement below. i'm not talking about crowd surfing. i'm talking about climbing up scaffolding 30-50 feet high and diving headfirst off, because they're on god-knows what drug. saw this one dudes face just explode on impact. i heard he survived somehow. saw people getting crushed and drug under by huge crowds near the front of the stage, and just couldn't do anything about it. never been pinned in by so many people before and so much body pressure in my life. it was genuinely dangerous. nobody at it seemed to realize that what they did mattered and would affect them and the people next to them. it was the birth of bubble thinking. everyone completely wrapped up in themselves. no sense of community cause, or anything more than me, me ,me. completely different mentality from the hippie generation.
