Episode 78: Woodstock
August 8, 1999 • 60 min
The 60's was a time of unforgettable events from the Vietnam War, to psychedelic drug use, to youth revolutions. And it was during this turbulent time that four men decided to stage a music festival that would become one of the most memorable moments in music history. This Behind the Music unites these four men, Joel Rosenman, John Roberts, Michael Lang, and Artie Kornfeld. They share their experiences, from the festival's conception to legal disputes; from the festival goers' free love experiences to the lack of porto-potties. Learn about Woodstock's promoters, the crew, technicians, and talents including Joe Cocker, Richie Havens, and Arlo Guthrie.
