I didn't make it to Woodstock, but I did make it to the "8-day" Celebration of Life festival in Louisiana in 1971. It opened 4 days late, but the parties were big outside waiting. The bands played fom 6-6 at night. Chuck Berry played the first night from 2-5, & "It's a Beautiful Day" played the last on the morning of July 5th, after the best fireworks show the night before with tightrope walkers & trapeze artists & "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album playing.sootedupCyndi » 22 Aug 2021, 3:31 pm » wrote: ↑ Of course you did.. Lol your my ol Woodstock hippy..
