EPISODE 178 - The Road to Woodstock




Beyond 50 Radio Show show

Summary: For Beyond 50's "History" talks, listen to an interview with Michael Lang, the promoter of the Woodstock Music & Art Fair held in upstate New York (in photo above). You'll learn about Lang's maneuvering and deal-making that resulted in a concert attended by 500,000 people on August 15, 1969. He was only in his 20's at the time. He deemed himself part of a new generation rejecting the old social order and embracing fresh ideas about such issues as civil rights, sexuality and drugs.
