The Difficulty Of Getting There
First and foremost, there is the obvious choice: transportation. To participate, you must gather in Bethel, New York, along with the tens of thousands of others who have already done so. The roadways appeared to be designed specifically for parking! It should come as no surprise that some people have chosen to travel on foot. Because the roads were gradually closed off, numerous people were unable to even access the walkway leading to the festival. While on stage, Arlo Guthrie stated to the audience, “The New York State Thruway is closed, man,” In reality, it was open throughout the event, despite the fact that state police were compelled to close the exits from Harriman and Newburgh to prevent even more people from accessing the Woodstock Festival.

The Legendary Jimi Hendrix
Attendees at the festival were forced to wait three days before Jimi Hendrix arrived at the venue. There is no doubt that his rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” has become so famous that many people associate it with the event. He performed at Woodstock with a band that was just there for the weekend. Because the normal band had broken up just before the festival, he needed to find replacements as soon as possible. As a result, he ended up playing with Rainbows and Gypsy Suns. Do you find it difficult to believe that this was their first time performing in front of a large crowd?
