Woodstock quick thought and comparison
Based off what I've seen from the film the festival seemed like a cool place to be in terms of everything being relaxed with a more mellow atmosphere and while it wasn't exactly the most hygienic or most pleasant place in the world (heavy body odor from people who didn't bathe, those who did, did so in ponds) though there were portable bathrooms some chose not to use them so there was a pretty high chance of stepping in feces while walking around and not being able to really watch out because of the mud especially if your were barefoot you could catch some serious infections. Even with the failing hygienic standards and weak infrastructure (didn't expect so many to come, the army eventually lent aid) it seems like a much better festival to be at in terms of listening to music than others we have today such as Acl granted either one is extremely crowded, the bathrooms are both nasty (but of course Acl beats Woodstock in terms of basic hygiene and infrastructure) Woodstock is much better in terms of people being there to actually listen to music and not just get drunk and high like a majority of people at Acl and other "big" festivals today (yes I do realize people also got high at Woodstock, but it wasn't the sole focus). Overall Woodstock seems like the best place to be at if you actually enjoy listening to music (if you're worried about crowds you're kinda screwed for both).
