Program Description

Event Details

Tony Traguardo celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Music & Art Fair’ with a program based, in part, on
legendary New York disc jockey and author Pete Fornatale’s book ‘The Story of Woodstock: Back to the Garden’. This multimedia event outlines the events that led to, and occurred during, the weekend when over a half a million people gathered in upstate New York for the now legendary concert festival that has come to be known simply as “Woodstock”. For America’s counter-culture youth, Woodstock became a symbol of more than just sex, drugs
and rock and roll – it was a huge declaration and celebration of peace, love, and a new way of living.

Tony and Pete toured with a version of this program, then hosted by Pete, in 2009. This newly-revised version contains even more rare audio and video footage from the festival, as well as sound clips from media broadcasts about the event.
