A step back in time allows us into 1969's greatest humanitarian phenomenon - The Woodstock Music & Art Fair.. Known simply as "Woodstock", it rocked not only the sprawling acres of Max Yasgur’s dairy farm but also changed music history forever. Get this: within three chaotic days over an incendiary summer, nearly half-a-million people gathered for peace, love and groundbreaking music. Cool huh?
Packaged beautifully under the banner ‘An Aquarian Exhibition’, at its core were gigantic rock stars like Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin belting out tunes that became cultural anthems! It feels almost bittersweet now does it not? Given most didn't realize they were partaking in something so historical.
Rain-soaked fields turned into mud-pits quickly; food shortage haunted while sanitation kept deteriorating - Yet no one budged! Ever wondered why? Imagine being part of such unity where everyone looked after each other despite all odds... quite surreal right?
