 ePier - WOODSTOCK MUSIC FESTIVAL 1969 UNUSED CONCERT TICKET
The Woodstock Music and Art Festival was a rock festival held at Max Yasgur's 600 acre (2.4 km²) dairy farm in Bethel, New York from August 15-18, 1969.
The festival bears the name "Woodstock," because it was originally scheduled to take place in the town of Woodstock, in Ulster County, yet the town lacked an appropriate venue for such a large event.
The song was somewhat controversial, as the Vietnam War was underway and the sound effects that Hendrix generated with his guitar paralleled the sounds of the violence of the conflict.

Of course, any connection between the original Woodstock and the violence at Woodstock ’99 directly contradicts what is possibly the most deeply held conviction of my generation: the Myth of Woodstock.

 Arlo Guthrie Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: )
His most famous work is "Alice's Restaurant", a talking blues song that lasts 18 minutes and 20 seconds (in its original recorded version; Guthrie has been known to spin the story out to forty-five minutes in concert).
The song, a bitingly satirical protest against the Vietnam War draft, is based on a true incident.
In the song, Guthrie was called up for a draft examination, and rejected as unfit for military service as a result of a criminal record consisting in its entirety of a single arrest, court appearance, fine and clean-up order for littering.

The messages in the songs he writes and in those he sings by other writers are universal.

But after almost 30 years, she's finally delivered a 15-song compilation of her signature songs that will be a CD point-of-departure for casual fans and newcomers well into the new millennium.
Mitchell's rejection of the current music industry, comparing it to a cesspool, and claiming to never release music ever again on track makes the individual feel even more fervent about purchasing this collection as it is an epic documentation of her art and force.
Woodstock is too, and I've always thought her version is best, not simply because she wrote it, just because it is. Circle Game and Both Sides Now are cultural anthems, essential and soul satisfying.

The choice of songs to perform at Woodstock was difficult to say the least.
