woodstock

This conversation was brought up between me and Andrew morris about this concert that took place in 1969 it was a weekend of sex,drugs,music,and peace. Highways shut down flowing in and out of New York the weather was horrible but still 500,000 people showed up along with over 36 band playing a span over three days for hours at a time. Some of the greatest moments in rock and roll history happened there like when Jimmy  Hendrix played his own interpretation of the Star spangled banner the first time in its history to be performed on the electric guitarr. The band Santana there drummer Michael Shrieve played one of the best drum solos at the age of 21. This concert also was the site of one of the biggest peaceful movements  during the sixties it was a site when people got together to have fun  i still wish we had concerts like that  when people can get together relax  for three days just camping listening to some of the greatest performers in the history of rock. And all the different people that came together to converge on one little area which is very amazing. Nobody was killed nobody fought it was just happiness for all that day. Only if people wanted to put a concert like that together it would be amazing.

  1. I never actually looked into Woodstock. But I heard that it was just this huge, momentous event. It does sound hella fun, thinking about it. Though I'm sure nothing will ever compare to Woodstock itself, there are a few annual events that kind of follow the same idea.
