Woodstock

Woodstock is probably the most famous of all rock concerts. The original 3-day music festival was held in August 1969 on Max Yasgur's farm in Bethel, New York.

In August of 1994 the 25th anniversary of the Woodstock festival was celebrated in Saugerties, New York with another 3 days of music.

The 30th anniversary concert took place July 23rd, 24th and 25th 1999 in Rome, New York. Festival organizers said "it doesn't get older, it gets better."

There is talk of a 2006 reunion concert, but details are sketchy. I found some vague information on this site, but unfortunately the event and the original festival site are mired in lawsuits and legal wrangling.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia says: "On August 12-13th, 2006, a two-day Woodstock anniversary concert is scheduled at the site. No artists have been announced yet.

For a little refresher on the original Woodstock, there are several videos, especially of Jimi Hendrix at YouTube.com one my personal favorites is Jimi doing Voodoo Child.
