Many people who attended Woodstock including performers thought it was a pretty awful time. It wasn’t until weeks later and after the movie etc. that it became this “wonderful” thing. Someone was dosing the bands with LSD without their consent or knowledge. Paychecks were a washout for many (only the who and grateful dead we’re paid upfront with late night drafted cashier’s checks).
It was considered a disaster, truly a disaster area with national guard assistance to bail them out.
The 1967 Monterey Pop Festival was far better, fun and just amazing - everything the hype about Woodstock claimed. Read about Woodstock on TTY machine overseas - missed nothing, felt sorry for those that went.
