"This is the real deal. These folks were actually there and done did it! Reading this is just like being there, except you have to supply your own mud. Enjoy!" Wavy GravyWidely regarded as one of the greatest moments in popular music history, the huge counterculture party known as the Woodstock Music & Arts Festival of 1969 materialized amidst highly controversial military conflict abroad and unnerving racial discord at home. Feeing as if they'd "found their tribe," some 450,000 hippies and ordinary youth sat shoulder to shoulder through thundershowers, downpours, late nights, a lack of food or water, and mud as thick as bricks-to watch Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, and many others.Even when they ran out of food and water, peace reigned, minds were opened, drugs were abundant, fantastic music filled the air, and love abounded. Even today, fifty years after the main event, Woodstock 1969 remains legendary throughout the world.This is the only book that captures true accounts from the kids, forty-seven who made it, and a few who didn't. Going well beyond being caught in traffic or mired in mud, these stories capture the life experiences of the hardy souls who survived Woodstock, and reflect what was in America in the late 1960s. If you're one who didn't make it to Woodstock 1969, then this collection of true stories will help you get down in the mud with those who did. 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival-and it's still fresh in the minds of millions.
