Description

Thirty or so years after the event and the Woodstock Aquarian Music and Art Fair remains the point at which the creative energies of the sixties briefly united in a three-day spectacle of peace, love and music. These writings consider how and why Woodstock achieved such an iconic status.

First Sentence

Writing in 1980 in The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll, John Morthland described a failed attempt to stage a commemorative event a decade after the first Woodstock festival and confidently asserted that 'if any proof was needed that rock festivals were a thing of the past, surely this was it' (Morthland, 1980, p. 338).
