PEACE, LOVE & MUSIC

Woodstock today: A plaque has been placed at the original site commemorating the festival. The field and the stage area remain preserved in their rural setting. On the field are the remnants of a neon flower and bass from the original concert. In the middle of the field, there is a totem pole with wood carvings of Jimi Hendrix in the middle, Janis Joplin on top, and Jerry Garcia on the bottom. A concert hall has been erected up the hill, and the fields of the old Yasgur farm are still visited by people of all generations. The 40th anniversary of Woodstock is in 2009. A number of activities to commemorate this historic festival will be taking place around the world. One such will be in Hawkhurst, Kent (UK), at a Summer of Love party, with acts including two of the participants at the original Woodstock - Barry Melton of Country Joe and the Fish and Robin Williamson of the The Incredible String Band, plus cover bands for Santana and the Grateful Dead.[30] Woodstock Ventures and Sony Music announced a partnership in April on Woodstock.com, which is both the official site for Woodstock and a social network.
