TALENT WE LOST
R.I.P. Max B. Yasgur (owned the farm where the Woodstock Music and Art Fair was held between August 15 and August 18, 1969): December 15th, 1919 – February 9th, 1973
The old joke is that that 400,000 people attended, but a million said they did. The iconic Woodstock Music and Art Fair was held between August 15th and August 18th, 1969 on Max Yasgur’s diary farm in Bethel, NY. He died 52 years ago today (February 9th, 1973). Definitely the roots of heavy when you watch the sets from JIMI HENDRIX, THE WHO, MOUNTAIN, JOHNNY WINTER and TEN YEARS AFTER among many others.
