**On August 13, there was already 50,000 people camping out.** **After 500,000 people arrived to the concert,the police began to turn away cars. There were many traffic jams. Rain left the ground a huge mud puddle and contributed to the bad conditions. Lines were up to 30 minutes for water and an hour to use the bathroom. The event was very overcrowded with a lack of supplies and food. Santana, Grateful Dead, The Who, and Jimi Hendrix are examples of popular well-known artists that played at the concert.**


 * The concert left the four creaters in $1 million worth of debt, due to their unpredicted audience. They did not make a profit which was their original goal and lawsuits filed against them.The profits from the Woodstock movie later contributed to the debt, but in the end the debt was left at $100,000.

This concert defined the generation, its culture, and their anti-war attitudes.**
