In August 1969, one of the most celebrated music festivals in history took place at a time when Americans were deeply divided. Over 400,000 people from across the country gathered to celebrate "Three Days of Peace and Music." The three days of legendary performances, unimaginable mud, and unforgettable experiences helped the Woodstock Music and Art Fair become a symbol of an entire generation.

Are you a Baby Boomer? Whether you are or not, there is a good chance you are familiar with the Three Days of Peace and Music that became a symbol of an entire generation - the original Woodstock Festival and Where the Seeds of Woodstock were Sown. These occurred during the Decade that Changed a Nation - the 60s. Perhaps you lived it or simply heard about it falling in love with the music of the times. The scheduled three-day concert rolled into a fourth day encompassing lots of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll - plus a lot of mud. Woodstock of the 80s is quite a different story...
