Woodstock Reunion 1979
Woodstock Reunion 1979 was a concert on September 8, 1979, at
Performers included Paul Butterfield and Rick Danko,[1] Canned Heat, Richie Havens, Jorma Kaukonen, Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian, Michael Shrieve, Stephen Stills, Leslie West, and Johnny Winter.[2][3]
This reunion concert faced organizational difficulties, much like the original Woodstock, though on a far smaller scale. On Friday the 7th, the day before the show, over 1000 young people showed up and camped out at the site; prompting complaints from neighbors. The next day there was a delay in opening the venue gates, due to security concerns by the concert-promoter; which almost resulted in a revocation of the permit and cancellation of the show by local officials.
Recordings of the concert were broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour.[1][2] A bootleg CD titled Live at Parr Meadows also exists.[1]
