Audio slideshow: Remembering Woodstock

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8185982.stm

In August 1969, an estimated 400,000 young people converged on a dairy farm in upstate New York for a music festival that would leave a legacy that endures today.

Rainstorms failed to dampen the spirits of the revellers, whose good behaviour over the four days inspired Joni Mitchell to write her classic song Woodstock.

With the help of some of those who were there, take a nostalgic look back at the festival.

1. Sigh.
If only I had been born in 50 instead of 57.

3. I had turned six a month before...
and have always lamented at not being there (my mom thought Elvis was too racy). Thank dog for YouTube. I visit Woodstock on an average of 2 or 3 times a month.
