Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, the Who, Janis Joplin and Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young were among the line-up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Our tour guide forty-five years later had been a mere youngster at Woodstock. Suddenly we were transported back to that famous August weekend. A muddy weekend of peace, love, and music that has been described as a pivotal moment in time in history.<\/p>\n<p>We felt very fortunate to get chatting to someone who was there, oh the stories he could tell.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>THAT SONG &#8216;<em>FREEDOM&#8217;<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>I like the story of how\u00a0Richie Havens got the gig of being the opening act for the Woodstock Festival because the booked band was stuck in heavy traffic. Having played \u201cevery song he knew\u201d\u00a0 he began strumming, getting into a groove when the word \u201cFreedom\u201d came to mind. He sang his now-famous song \u201cFreedom\u201d for the first time, on stage at Woodstock, making the words up as he played.<\/p>\n<p>We got to sit on the historic hill on which the festival audience sat and imagine the summer of &#8217;69.

It was a time of the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam war, a time for love and peace, and of course psychedelic colour. Movements for the environment, women&#8217;s rights, and equal rights gathered momentum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t you think in today&#8217;s rather rocky, unstable political world, that we might just be ready for another Woodstock game changer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even to this day the Centre still hosts\u00a0outdoor concerts in the summer months.<\/p>\n<p>It still seems a special happy place, or is that just me getting carried away?
