42 years of Woodstock: peace, love and music

August 15, 1969 Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music”, one of the most famous in rock history.
Weeks before the festival opened fire, waves of people-men, women and children came to the farm in Bethel, New York, to see marching bands to soloists and the cream of the era. Although lacking such groups as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors and Bob Dylan, the festival was just a sign of luxury among which were Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who, Joe Cocker, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jefferson Airplane, a very young Carlos Santana, Credence Clearwater Revival and many more.
Surely, a show that will be remembered as the biggest musical event ever staged and icon of a generation of young Americans weary of war and proclaiming peace and love for a living.
