The Grand Stage

Woodstock was a grand and spectacular music event that transcended its original purpose. 1969 was the year the counter-culture took over, and Woodstock would be the catalyst that started the falling domino chain. Peace and love were the gospel for the folks that attended a festival dedicated to individual expression and artistic freedom.

The world is still reeling from the overwhelming cultural impact the event has had on public thought and future content creators. An event that eventually became globally known for hosting a sea of pretty intoxicated people being entertained by the best musicians the times had to offer.

Recreational Freedom

Beyond the artists at the venue, the crowd consisted of people from all backgrounds. Nobody felt excluded there; people talked to each other, vibed with each other, and eventually started connecting on a deeper level. What helped was the fact that most of the crowd was high.

Drugs were not considered taboo back then; prohibition was not of much concern since these substances were still being studied. So, the hippies that attended this event enjoyed the show in a lot more ways than one. It was impressive just how well such a diverse range of people got along without any significant mishaps.
