A Rain-Soaked Affair

The Woodstock festival (planned as a three-day event that ran for four days) culminated on a Monday on August 18, 1969. It was a rain-soaked event, which meant that festival-goers had to dredge through all the mud. Electricals were also affected and risked the performers who took to the stage to thrill the gathered masses.

The buzzing sound of amplifiers and microphones frequently echoed through the grounds, and the equipment also sent jolts of shocks to anyone who handled them. These conditions also affected some of the bands’ performances, and the technical difficulties didn’t allow some of them to complete their sets.
