The Challenge Of Getting There
No one was willing to attend the gathering. Tens of thousands wanted to attend the festival and flocked to the town of Bethel in New York. People were told to go on foot, although roads were gradually blocked. Some of the participants couldn’t even drive to the festival. “The New York State Thruway is closed,” Arlo Guthrie reported. It was accessible the entire time, but the state police blocked the exits to keep further visitors from going to the Woodstock Festival.

The Legendary Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix was on stage for three days. His production of the national anthem is correlated with the annual festival. Since the regular band had split up, they played with a temporary crew. Hendrix wanted a band so he experimented with Gypsy Suns and Rainbows. It was the first time they had performed together, and they were performing for a massive audience.
