How many people were killed at Woodstock?

Officially only one person died at Woodstock (the original one in 1969). Physical damage (hurt) is a hard thing to measure.

I believe there were three people physically hurt bad enough to require medical attention, however, any time you get that many people together many small injuries happen that do not get officially noticed.

The was also a tent run by the Hog Farm (a communal group lead by Wavy Gravy - they also ran the food "kitchen") that was designated and used to help people who were experiencing "bad trips," but there is no official record of how many people they "treated."

Name of the man who dies in Woodstock?

Singer John Sebastian is captured on film announcing that some cat's old lady just had a baby, a kid destined to be far out. A couple of surviving witnesses say there were births. The concert's medical director told reporters at the scene there were two births: one at a local hospital after the mother was flown out by helicopter; the other in a car caught in the epic traffic jam outside the site crowded with more than 400,000 people.

Why did the Woodstock event happen?

There was the biggest outdoor rock fest ever, on August 15-18, 1969.

Thousands of people came to Woodstock (actually held near Bethel in upstate New York) to listen to the likes of Janice Joplin, Jimmi Hendrix and many others for 3 days of musical performances. This was a major display of the 1960s counter-culture (hippies) and anti-war movements. There was considerable use of illicit drugs.

Conditions were sunny and hot, but there was also rain that turned some of the concert grounds into massive mud pits.

Who opened woodstocks first day?

Richie Havens's performance at Woodstock was scheduled well in advance. But he was scheduled to play later on that day meaning he was not the opening performer. Nothing could have prepared him for the circumstances he found there. Because of traffic problems, none of the early acts arrived on time, the concert was nearly three hours late, and Havens was the first performer to appear before the restive throng.

How did the Woodstock Festival get its name?

The event was originally scheduled to take place in the town of Woodstock, New York. The venue fell through and at the last minute a new place had to be found. The farm used was Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel NY. With posters already printed and all of the word of mouth, the name of the event was not changed.

Where was the Woodstock festival of 1969?

There have been 5 different Woodstocks. The original (and most famous) was in 1969 and set the dates for future Woodstocks. 1979 (10 year anniversary), 1989 (20 year anniversary), 1994 (25 year anniversary), and 1999 (30 year anniversary and most infamous). Here are the locations of all the Woodstocks:

1969- Originally Woodstock 69 was scheduled to take place in the 300-acre Mills Industrial Park in Wallkill, New York. Town officials were assured that no more than 50,000 would attend. On July 15, 1969, the Wallkill Zoning Board of Appeals officially banned the concert on the basis that the planned portable toilets would not meet town code. Eventually, Woodstock 69 would be held on Max Yasgur's 600 acre dairy farm in the Catskills, 43 miles from the town of Woodstock

1979- Although it isn't considered a festival, a rock concert took place at Madison Square Garden that celebrated the 10th year anniversary of Woodstock 69. Later in the year (September 7), the Woodstock Reunion 79 took place at Parr Meadows racetrack on Long Island, New York.

1989- Woodstock 89 or "The Forgotten Woodstock" was done very spontaneously and didn't attract much attention. It took place on the site of the 69 concert.

1994- This Woodstock took place in a large field in Saugerties, New York about 100 miles from New York City and 10 miles from Woodstock, New York.

1999- The most infamous Woodstock, like the others was performed in New York. For the this festival, the location was Rome, New York which is about 200 miles from Woodstock, new York

How can i remix songs?

To remix a song, you first have to be able to plan how your remix is going to sound. A rough idea of how you are going to use the track's original elements and the structure, length and feel of the mix is essential.

The first step in remixing a song, is acquiring the separated audio samples that make up the song you're remixing. This can generally only be done with the permission of the artist, their management or recording label, however since you're already starting a remix, you will have obtained this permission, otherwise in creating the remix and distributing it, you fall foul of international copyright law.

The next step is to create a backing track upon which the original vocals will sit. There is no one way to do this, it's always up to the remixer to create their track however they would ordinarily create a piece of music, be it using synths and sequencers or live instruments.

Depending on the type of remix you're doing (some remixers prefer to use a lot of the original melody, while others like to repeat a particular set of phrases) you will want to create a chord structure in your music that allows the vocals to fit nicely, or if you prefer, not. Invariably, however, there must be a computer program or other device present that is capable of mixing audio atop audio. Software like Sony's <i>Acid</i> and Apple's <i>GarageBand</i> are made more-or-less specifically for this purpose and allow live manipulation of audio, including adding effects and fine-tuning the equalizers while being able to listen to how it sounds within the rest of the track.

So you've got your backing track and you've mixed the original vocals in as you fancy, all that's left is to add a few audio accents, swooshes, little musical details that you may have missed out on while creating your track and a few fine-tuning of bits and bobs to ensure there's no clipping, timing errors or bare patches and you're pretty much done.
