The Woodstock festival was a four day concert about peace and music, however it was considered one of the best concert/party of the century. It was taken place in the 1960's in Woodstock, New York, on a diary farm. Many famous rock stars were preforming such as Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The ten years after, and much more. This was a exciting thing because it was the begining of the rock era. Also people did a lot of weed and other drugs, such as Heroin, which lead to accidents. For example a man on Heroin used a tractor to accidently run over a man sleeping next to a hay field. Their were about 500,000 people at the concert and their were about thirty-two singers and musicians. Even though Woodstock was a concert that is well known to this day some bands, and singers declined the invitations, such as the Beatles, Bob Daylan, Led Zeppelin and much more.
The Beatles didn't play because they were on the verge of breaking up and also they hadn't played a live concert for three years. Also John Lennon wouldn't play if the Plastic Ono band didn't have a spot.
Bob Dylan wouldn't play because his son was ill and he was sick of the Hippies piling up on the original site of the the festival.
Led Zeppelin didn't play because he ended up going on a tour which happened to be very successful.
Woodstock was a very interesting concert, because it was the only concert to be in the history books and still remembered by people in our generation.
