@unknownlovedone: The lives of people during the first Woodstock Festival The first Woodstock took place over 3 days in August 1969. Many people ask why has the Woodstock Festival Of ‘69 become so famous , At this time the country was deep into the controversial Vietnam War, a conflict that many young people vehemently opposed. It was also the era of the civil rights movement, a period of great protest and unrest. Woodstock was an opportunity for people to escape into music and spread a message of unity and peace. The tickets weren't free – advance tickets cost $18 if bought from record stores in the New York City area, or via a post office box. That is about $146.16 in todays money. - all information has been stated through sources found #fyp #History #woodstock #1960s #musicfestival
