Why was the Woodstock festival significant?
The outdoor rock concert that took place in upstate New York (actually more than 40 miles from Woodstock, in Bethel) was not a symbol for anyone in the 1960s, simply because it didn't happen until August 15-18, 1969. It became, however, a symbol of the 1960s, especially of the latter half of the decade.
The event was poorly planned. The weather was awful. Traffic was a mess. There weren't enough sanitation facilities. There wasn't enough drinking water or food. Two people died and two people were unexpectedly born. And 400,000 attendees watched over thirty of the very best acts in rock and roll perform live on stage. Regardless of its 'symbol' value, Woodstock was certainly a major event. In perspective, the largest sports arenas accommodate less than a third that many people.
Woodstock stands as an example of the radical rejection of the youth culture of the time of the standards and structures built by their elders. It was rebel music presented in the least conventional venue available, under circumstances that allowed the maximum freedom to its participants. The use of illegal drugs and alcohol and the practice of casual sex are strongly associated with Woodstock.
What artists performed at Woodstock 1969?
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.
