 * Promotors of woodstock asked John Lennon to perform but he would only go if Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band would perform. When they declined Ono, lennon did as well.
 * The Doors- Were asked to perform when The Doors' guitarist, Robby Krieger, denied, saying that it would be a second class repeat of Monterey Pop Festival. Also, lead singer Jim Morrison said he felt uneasy about performing in front of large crowds. However the Doors drummer, John Densmore, went to Woodstock and is seen in the footage from the festival.
 * Led Zeppelin- Was asked when the bands manager, Peter Grant said, "We were asked to do Woodstock and Atlantic were very keen, and so was our U.S. promoter, Frank Barsalona. I said no because at Woodstock we'd have just been another band on the bill." Instead of Woodstock, Zeppelin had a very successful summer tour. Ironically in the same weekend as woodstock, Led Zeppelin played at Asbury Park Conventional Center just south of woodstocks venue.
 * Jethro Tull- Declined when the band was told that their would be lots of drugs, hippies,and mud. Although Jethro Tull did not perform, their music was played over the public address system. And in the movie you can hear the songs, "Beggars Farm" and "Serenade to a Cuckoo" songs from Jethro Tull.
 * Bob Dylan- Accepted the invite but declined when his son became ill. He became upset at the number of hippies that showed up at his house, complaining for his no-show, as well.
 * Many other bands were asked but declined. Some were The Byrds, Tommy James and the Shondells, The moody blues, spirit, and joni mitchell.
 * Was a free concert/festival located on Max Yasgurs dairy farm located in Bethel, New York. Lasted from August 15th to August 18th 1969. Over 400,000 people showed up at the concert.

Because people kept showing up, the radio stations would say that roads were closed leading to Woodstock. One example is when Arlo Guthrie made an announcement saying that the New York State Thruway was closed. This was later found out to be untrue. The people running the festival were not prepared for this large of a crowd or the weather. They provided nothing for sanitation, and little food amounts. Although Woodstock was a time of peace, the festival caused many fatalities. One, recorded, example was a heroin overdose. Also, as a teen was sleeping beside a tractor, covered in blankets, he was run over by one of the festivals workers. There were also two, recorded, births at the festival. One being in a car stuck in traffic and the other was airlifted to the hospital from the concert.

THE BEATLES!! With an early five-piece line-up of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, [|Stuart Sutcliffe] (bass) and [|Pete Best] (drums), The Beatles built their reputation in Liverpool and [|Hamburg] clubs over a three-year period from 1960. Sutcliffe left the group in 1961, and Best was replaced by Starr the following year. Moulded into a professional outfit by music store owner [|Brian Epstein] after he offered to act as the group's manager, and with their musical potential enhanced by the hands-on creativity of producer [|George Martin], The Beatles achieved UK mainstream success in late 1962 with their first single, "[|Love Me Do]". During their studio years, The Beatles produced what critics consider some of their finest material, including the album //[|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]// (1967), widely regarded as a masterpiece. Four decades after their breakup, The Beatles' music continues to be popular. The Beatles have had more number one albums on the UK charts, and held down the top spot longer, than any other musical act.[|[2]] According to [|RIAA] certifications, they have sold more albums in the US than any other artist.[|[3]] In 2008, //[|Billboard]// magazine released a list of the all-time top-selling [|Hot 100] artists to celebrate the US singles chart's fiftieth anniversary, with The Beatles at number one.[|[4]] They have been honoured with 7 [|Grammy Awards],[|[5]] and they have received 15 [|Ivor Novello Awards] from the [|British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors].[|[6]] The Beatles were collectively included in //[|Time]// magazine's compilation of [|the 20th century's 100 most important and influential people].[|[7]]
