It started out a a concert but turned into the biggest music happening in history.
So many people showed up the concert promoter had to open the gates and let people in free. they ran out of food and water and had to truck it in.

Answer 5

One of the best compliments I ever got was a rumor at my daughters' school that I had been at Woodstock. ..... but if it had been true,my girls would have been there too and we'd all been superstars.

Back then, all those years ago, we used to have regional gatherings in rural areas where people would camp out and bands would set up in open spaces.... all over the US. And it was mellow and under the radar.

Then, once upon a sunny day, some really cool movers and shakers on the East Coast put together one for upstate New York. And,they did such a great job of promoting it, and they got such a great line-up of performers, that it attracted far far far far far far more people than anticipated ... thousands and thousands more people.

It has become famous for several reasons: the awesome video and audio recordings, the quality and quantity of the performers, and the amazing amount of spontaneous cooperation that went into meeting/coping with the needs of the thousands of unplanned for attendees...... cooperating that literally diverted a disaster.

The fact that it was all captured on miles and miles of tape makes it one of the first docu-dramas of one of the largest peaceful gatherings in modern history with some knock your socks off music thrown in.
