Woodstock, 1969. What a time to be alive. In the era of free love and hippies, one of the most legendary music festivals in the whole world took place in New York state. Woodstock holds such a place in music history that even those who didn't attend almost feel like they did.
Luckily for us, there were journalists, documentary makers and directors present to capture everything that was so special about this super famous event. Though you may have seen some of the better-known images of Woodstock, there are some rare gems that really show what was going during that magical time.
Most of us automatically think of the music and the fun, but we bet you hadn't considered the traffic jams, food shortages and general logistical nightmares that the festival entailed. Organizing toilets and other infrastructure for an unexpected 400,000 people couldn't have been easy! Take a look at these rare photos and prepare to be shocked.
