WOODSTOCK

The very first Woodstock started on Friday afternoon at 5:07 pm August 15th 1969. This Woodstock was in New York. It went from Friday to Monday morning. There was more than 450,000 people that went to this event. This big bash cost more than 2.4 million dollars. It was sponsored by four very different men: John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld, and Michael Lang. All of these men were in their twenties. Since there were so many people there was a traffic jam. The performers that were at Woodstock: Richie Havens, Sweetwater, Bert Sommer, Tim Hardin, Ravi Shankar, Melanie, Arlo Guthrie, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Joe Cocker, And many more. There were at least 32 performers there. Woodstock has been a very historical musical festival throughout the years!

I have never been to Woodstock ,but I think it would be a really cool experience. Woodstock is not only a rock concert, it is a part of history.

They tried to recreate the Woodstock experience in 1999, and it just didn't work. The Woodstock concert still is the most successful outdoor concert ever.

What did you do to recreate Woodstock in 1999? That sounds really cool and hard to do at the same time.
