“The festival actually took place…about fifty miles away from Woodstock. [The city of] Woodstock was the original location since that was where Bob Dylan was currently residing.”(Remember a day: Woodstock) so to answer your first question, it was named after the city it was originally supposed to happen in. “[police estimated that there was] a million people [on the road trying to get in], 186,000 tickets had been sold; the promoters figured that maybe 200,000 tops would show.”(Remember a day: Woodstock) Nobody thought it was going to be as big as it turned out to be. The promoters who are trying to sell Woodstock to the people even underestimated their own work. “So many people arrived that crowd control was next to impossible.
With the assistance of his band, the Boss puts on two to three hour concerts and even once a four-hour concert. The E. Street Band and Springsteen is an unstoppable rock machine. Their look doesn’t stray beyond the causal plaid, blue jean, red bandana, or all black dirty underworld 70s “Rock and Roll” experience. When “Born to Run” is performed at concerts it’s done as an anthem. The audience all sing along, lead by Springsteen and the E. Street Band—who themselves are rocking out to it as much as the audience is.
Hendrix later left to England to play in his own band called the Jimmy Hendrix Experience. His band made it big in England and he soon returned to the United Sates.

Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was released. It was known for its range of styles and sounds, a mix of pop and electronic noises; songs like “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and “A Day in the Life.” Many of the songs on the album were carefully examined for hidden “clues” about The Beatles use of drugs.

On June 25th, 1967, The Beatles recorded “All You Need Is Love,” with a live television audience of 400 million, part of the Our World broadcast.

Was it only twenty-three years ago? It seems like a lifetime, or two, has passed since that May night in 1975 when Led Zeppelin, a heavy metal, innovative band of Englishmen, clouded the Fall of Saigon by performing one of the few acts more monumental – in those faraway times - than the Communist victory in the Vietnam War. Three months following the debut of Zeppelin’s double-album, Physical Graffiti, the four powerful musicians instinctively blew the roof off the Earls Court Arena in West London, and, for the better part of two hours, strutted across the incandescent stage, demonstrating their musical prowess in front of 19,000 chin-dropped fanatics.

The farm turned into a huge campground filled with teens that came there for peace, love, and music (the editors of Time-Life).
It was August 1969 in Bethel, New York, the Woodstock festival just started and thousands of people were celebrating 3 days of “peace” at the Woodstock Festival with music centered on utopian themes of peace, free love and harmony with your surroundings, which were a reflection of the ideals of and philosophy of the hippie culture. Two weeks after the Woodstock Music Festival the band named Black Sabbath was performing for the first time under this name (Black Sabbath), playing songs categorized for the first time as a new genre called Heavy metal filled with loud guitars, heavy drumming and angry dystopian lyrics. Their working class-anger and frustration because of the post war were communicated through the vocal delivery and lyrics of Black Sabbath’s singer Ozzy Osbourne. War Pigs released in September of 1970 is the clearest example of this complain not only against the war but also against the damage that war causes and caused to many people and to the governors that only cared about money and their own interests. The following is an excerpt from War Pigs: In the
