Our Tribute to Max Yasgur 

Peace Sign, hand up

Max Yasgur was, and still is, highly respected as a man of his word, for his idealism and for his modesty, for his peace and for his tolerance, and is best characterized by a comment he once made to his wife: "When I decide that I have to drive by someone in need of help and not stop, that's not the kind of world I want to live in."

Max Yasgur for President - Bumpersticker

WOODSTOCK CENTRAL

Elliot Tiber

ELLIOT TIBER is the man who gave the original permit to hold a music and arts festival in White Lake, Town of Bethel, New York State in the summer of 1969.

The El Monaco Motel

In 1969, this motel, situated on the corner of 17B and Rt.55 in White Lake, NY became control center, the base camp, the "White House” of the new Woodstock nation.

 

For Kornfeld, Woodstock wasn't a matter of building stages, signing acts or even selling tickets. For him, the festival was always a state of mind, a happening that would exemplify the generation. (Excerpt: How Woodstock Happened…Part 1 By:Elliot Tiber)

ARTIE KORNFELD

"... our intentions were always to make this more than a concert, but a total showing of our generation.
