The Woodstock Festival

I´ll talk about  the Woodstock Festival, also called 3 days of peace and music. It was held in a farm near New York in 1969. The festival was called Woodstock (and still is called this way today) cuz at the beggining the organizers expected to held the festival in a little town called Woodstock, but the locals opposed, so Sam Yasgur convinced his dad to let the festival held in the family plot (600 acres).
It lasted 3 days long and many celebrities permormed in the festival, celebrities like Jimmy Hendrix (Jimmy died because of an overdose after his performing)
The organizers expected about just 60 000 coming atthe festival , but there was over 400 000
Years after the festival Michel Wadleigh released a documentary about the festival, and in 2009 Ang Lee released a film about the organization of the festival.
