Woodstock: The History and Legacy of America's Most Famous Music Festival by Charles River EditorsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a quick read to give you the down and dirty details on the iconic Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music Festival. The weekend-long festival was not without its problems and issues. Organizers expected less than 200,000 participants and ended up with 1/2 million. Logistics were changing up until the last minute. Some performers were unable to get to the venue due to traffic and the crowds, while others were flown in by helicopter. Despite the issues, there were very few problems once the show was started.
The size and the star power certainly made the weekend an indelible event in American history. This is a good read for someone that is interested in how the event was planned and about the performers who played without getting into the specific day to day details.
