The Crowd at Woodstock '69 Festival

"Peace and Happiness"

400 to 500 Thousand people spontaneously assembled for a happening like nothing before or since.
Peace  and love filled the air along with the wafting of smoke
and a musical venue that's never been duplicated. 
Woodstock remains both unique and legendary.  These photos remind us of  the magic.
