All the music of the 1960's generation.. 60's rock like Jimi Hendrix, folk music, hippie music. A lot of people talk about the concert in fondness with all the music of that era. I am a HISTORY NERD and I hope they plan it a bit better than what I have read about the original concert.
I have been to the area. It is beautiful, I will say that. The problem of the planning of the original WOODSTOCK festival was that no one was concerned about the area as it related to the 1000s of people that attended... Those are real small towns surrounding that area with extremely small grocery stores and little to no fast food nor restaurants to sit down and eat, at the time. EVEN WORSE was the the almost non-existent medical services at the concert. People were taking psychedelic drugs and if someone shouted out "the red pills were bad acid!!", many of those people who took the red pills were too high to know what color of pill they had taken in the first place to seek medical attention or how it would affect them.. With that many people, it is hard to get medical personnel in there in a moments notice and they did not have the facilities at hospitals that they do today. People would overdo it on the drugs and alcohol, there would be normal medical emergencies with a group of people that large, and other things that needed attention.. Police and rescue units were stretched to the breaking point...HOPEFULLY, they have thought this through a little better this time and people can enjoy the music of yesteryear with a better organized plan for food, lodging , and medical. The stage built in honor of the concert is in a beautiful area and if you have been to upstate New York, the scenery is beautiful. If there are people here old enough to remember Woodstock or attended, I would love to hear about your experiences at the time.
