Had a blast with the Spark today in Bethel, NY at the site of the original Woodstock concert. Video coming out in about a week.

That's cool. I take it that's a new road on the right or were the people on the road during the festival too?

 

[windryder]

Wow, it has changed somewhat, but you can still see where everything was! Cool Thanks.

 

[MarkBarnes]

Nice.

 

[Northwood Mediaworks]

Just crazy how all those folks fit on that patch of land. Great comparison

Reminds me of this Pepsi commercial from 1994.

I liked the Country Joe part.

That's Hurd Road. It leads to homes nearby the concert field that were built in the 1930's. I think in '69 it was dirt and the crowd is covering it up in the older photo.
