It was also, in retrospect, its glorious, anarchic swan song. Woodstock was the ultimate expression of the hippie ethos and youth-led counterculture. Fifty years ago, in August 1969, drenched by torrential rain and ankle-deep in mud, half a million-people gathered in a field on a dairy farm in upstate New York to participate in what has since been recognized as the most significant and inspiring musical event of its kind: a landmark that defined a generation. A special 50th anniversary edition of our lavishly illustrated ultimate guide to Woodstock, with a day-by-day, act-by-act account of everything that went down on Yasgur’s farm-along with interviews and quotes from those who were there.
