Woodstock Baby Far Out Counting | The Unforgettable Experience of a Generation

Woodstock. A name that resonates with an entire generation, representing the pinnacle of counterculture and the birth of a revolution. 1969 marked the year when half a million young souls gathered on a farm in New York to create a transcendental experience that would forever alter the course of history. Woodstock became more than just a music festival; it became a symbol of peace, freedom, and unity for a generation desperate for change.

The Origins of Woodstock

The journey that led to Woodstock's creation started with a vision by four young men: Michael Lang, Artie Kornfeld, John Roberts, and Joel Rosenman. They wanted to create a music festival that would celebrate their generation's values and provide a platform for artists who shared their passion for peace and understanding.

Originally planned to take place in Wallkill, New York, the festival faced numerous obstacles, including local opposition and permit rejections. It was a stroke of luck that led them to Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, where the event found its iconic home.
