This unique Plectrum shaped guitar plectrum, celebrating 50 years since Woodstock. Highly collectable no. 044 NGC MS70 Graded. Mintage : 044/ 1969 WOODSTOCK Woodstock was a music festival held August 15–18, 1969, on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, New York, 43 miles (70 km) Southwest of Woodstock. Billed as “an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music”, it attracted an audience of more than 400,000. It was alternatively referred to as the Bethel Rock Festival or the Aquarian Music Festival. Thirty-two acts performed outdoors despite sporadic rain. The festival has become widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history, as well as a defining event for the “counterculture generation”. The event’s significance was reinforced by a 1970 documentary film, an accompanying soundtrack album, and a song written by Joni Mitchell that became major hits for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Matthews Southern Comfort. Music events bearing the Woodstock name have been planned for anniversaries including the tenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, thirtieth, fortieth, and fiftieth. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine listed it as number 19 of the 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll. In 2017, the festival site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (Source: Wikipedia) A 50th anniversary festival was planned to take place in August of 2019, but like many events of this type, the financial and logistical problems involved in bringing something of this scale to fruition, proved too much for the organisers. On 31 July 2019, the plans were cancelled, so its down to just a few scattered groups to remember a truly ground breaking cultural event.
