The Greatest Concert of All Time
At Woodstock
The greatest three day rock festival happened on August 15, 1969. the event was Woodstock. the greatest rock icons of the time came to a farm on upstate New York and played for a crowd of over 300,000. some of those icons were, Jimi Hendrix (of course), Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, the Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Santana, and many others.
The headline act at Woodstock was Jimi Hendrix. it stated in his contract that no other band would follow his act. and he was also the highest paid performer too (at $32,000). some bands were paid double for what they usually got for a gig. the festival brought in so many people that they had to close down the interstate. the traffic was overwhelming to say the least. most people left their cars on the side of the road and walked to the festival. some walked up to 20 miles
