I saw this documentary this week about how the music festival that helped to change (among other things) the outlook of many people of that age - young and old. It gave me a lot of information about how the festival was put together and how much could wrong. Foremost, I did not know that the original plan thought that maybe 50,000 people would show up and that actually almost 10 tens that many did. In fact the increase in people made the town it was held in (Bethel) the third largest city in New York state. So a lot of elements that make up planning for a festival had to be adjusted if they could (like food, toilets, security, medical teams, etc.) Security was headed up by a guy named Wavy Gravy who headed up the "Please Force" a contingent of his followers. He personally used a kazoo to maintain order. The festival ran out of food on the first day and so the people of area donated as much food as they could and it was cooked at the site. It was then handed out by many of the attendees. Of course, everyone knows it rained heavily on the third day and some people started to leave but many stayed to see some of the most famous bands, i.e., Joe Cocker; The Band; Crosby, Stills & Nash; and most importantly in the end Jimi Hendrix.
