Amazing Pictures From Woodstock That Will Make You Wish It Was 1969

16. Going Up The Sound Tower

According to Bill Hanley, the sound engineer in charge of sound at Woodstock, special column speakers were built and had arrays on high towers. Although the sound was set up to entertain 150,000 people, there were over 400,000 attendees; still the sound was great. It didn't in any way reduce the quality of the sound and the experience the attendees had.

1969 was an awesome time in musical and cultural history. The joy of seeing people, beads around their neck, moving their bodies to the music, the freedom and self-expression on full display; beads of sweat dripping off them as their bodies mix and blend into a beautiful symphony; such is rare to find these days.

Simon Keighley Looks like a few were tring to get a better view by climbing the sound tower - I bet the atmosphere was electric and happy memories for many. Thanks for sharing, Bill.
