Woodstock Story

I took this list from Wikipedia because I thought it would be nice to share. Over 30 artists and groups performed at the festival for a crowd of nearly a million hippies. In 1969 concerts of the magnitude were unheard of and maintains it's title as the largest gathering in history. The 3 day event celebrating peace and music will remain a music legend and will be in our hearts for eternity!
