Woodstock was a music festival held between August 15–18, 1969, which attracted an audience of more than 400,000. Billed as "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music", it was held at Max Yasgur's 600-acre dairy farm near White Lake in Bethel, New York, 43 miles southwest of Woodstock. Over the sometimes rainy weekend, 32 acts performed outdoors. It is widely regarded

as a pivotal moment in popular music history, as well as the definitive nexus for the larger counterculture generation. Rolling Stone listed it as number 19 of the 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll. This class features the only documentary and live performance film of the entire festival. We’ll look at how the festival was organized, the lifestyle of the times as depicted by those who attended, and a good sample of the live acts done throughout this three-day festival. Grab your peace sign, bandana, and head on down to the class to enjoy this great moment in rock music history!
