Our next door neighbors bought tickets but never made it to the show. They got stuck on one of the main highways leading to the festival. Not sure they would have stayed when the saw the chaos which ensued, but who knows?
Thank goodness the bands did play and everyone took plenty of pictures. Later a film was edited and that is how most people remember the show. It's certainly not something which would work today and be billed as a MUST SEE event.
I am glad Woodstock took place. It is a bright moment in our country's checkered history. For a few days people believed working together was appropriate, treating each other fairly and with respect was the new normal, and that one great Rock and Roll show could change the world as we knew it.
