Annotation
The Woodstock Music & Art Fair billed as "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music", regarded as a great music event with many references to Civil Rights and Vietnam, such as from Richie Havens, Country Joe McDonald and concluding with Jimi Hendrix's version of "Star Spangled Banner" which many interpreted (amongst other things) as a comment on the need for change in American policies like the Vietnam War (Cotillion # SD3-500). Check out the film Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music.1
