	Woodstock Festival - MSN Encarta
		Woodstock Festival, rock festival that took place near Woodstock, New York, on August 15, 16, and 17, 1969, and that became a symbol of the 1960s American counterculture and a milestone in the history of rock music.
		As a result of the audience size, volunteers from inside and outside the festival helped relieve any possible problems: Helicopters flew in food, doctors, and medical supplies, along with many of the musical acts that were scheduled to appear.
		The festival caused some inconvenience to the surrounding communities and some area residents were suspicious of the unconventional looks and behavior of the young people who attended.

	TIME.com: Rock and Radiohead in Tennessee -- Page 1
		Nabbing Radiohead for its only U.S. festival appearance was a coup for Bonnaroo, demonstrating that the festival, previously regarded as a backwoods Mecca for roots rock and hippie-tinged "jam bands,"has managed to shift its image and dent Coachella's reputation as the nation's coolest summer rock happening.
		Bonnaroo's Mayers, for one, downplays the festival face-off, noting that Coachella was an inspiration for Bonnaroo and shares its genealogy as a descendent of Woodstock, the iconic '60s music festival that started it all.
		In fact, both festivals, in addition to carryingWoodstock's counterculture DNA, share a vision of the rock festival as a 21st century tribal gathering that fills a gap left by other social institutions.
