Thirty two acts were put on by musicians ranging from Jimi hendrix to Janis Joplin. The event is now looked on as a pivotal moment in music history. The festival was mostly over seen by a young man named Micheal Lang, A man with a vision of a concert such as this would a have to have finances and that was where Joel Rosemary And Arty Kornfeld came in. The Festival Began on August 15 and ran all the way to the 18. Originally tickets were sold but soon after the door were open there were way over there amount of tickets sold than in attendance. It then became a free concert. It was a complicated thing to have this many people at one festival. Food was a problem and people began to look out for each other, making sure no one went too hungry. A hippy activist group called the hog farm was put in charge of feeding the multitude at first and on the first day made over 5,000 hot dogs for the tripping naked hippies. Nudity and drugs were not uncommon at Woodstock. Young girls would show off their stuff in front of tv cameras as a way of saying "look at me now mother." this rebellious attitude fueled youth revolts all over the country.
