Peace, Love, & Hardcore Partying

Woodstock, promoted as a live music event in the countryside, geared towards bringing together the inspired generation of young people at the peak of the love and peace culture that reigned at the time. A line-up of 32 musicians got scheduled to perform, and in every sense, they brought down the house.

Nearly half a million people descended on the farm to enjoy great music and indulge in some hardcore partying. Illicit drugs were in free flow, and even some performers were said to have taken to the stage in “high spirits.” This photo captures the sense of freeness experienced during the festival.
