Woodstock Part 1: The Famous One and the Forgotton Ones (1969, '79, & '89)
Manage episode 413437619 series 3556586
Ryan goes us as we dive into the deep history of Woodstock in our final series of this season! Everyone's heard of Woodstock, but most people don't know just how deep the story goes.
We're not just covering the music like everyone else; we're looking into the business deals, difficult setup, and troubled production that made the original 1969 festival a cultural touchstone. Then we look at its lasting legacy and the various attempts to bring the festival back over the decades. We look at the semi-official anniversary shows from 1979 and the spontaneous nostalgia that created the event in 1989, which may have been more influential than it seems...
Join us as we begin our three-part series diving into every Woodstock from 1969 to the present day!
(If you or anyone you know was at any of these events, please reach out to us! We'd love to hear your story!)
