SAN FRANCISCO — Dozens of local Woodstock veterans are gearing up to mark the 40th anniversary of the historic music festival with a free concert in Golden Gate Park in October called "West Fest."Although the original Woodstock was held from Aug. 15-18 in 1969, organizers said the San Francisco event is planned in October because the weather is better here at that time, and many bands are still touring in late summer.

West Coast Woodstock

The roots of the 1969 Woodstock festival can be traced back at least two years before the event was staged, and a couple of thousand miles away. Before there was Woodstock, there was the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967. With total attendance estimated at 200,000 over three days, it was arguably the first major rock festival. Highlights: Janis Joplin's first big live gig, and the first U.S. performances of The Who and Jimi Hendrix. All three performed at Woodstock two years later.
A.C.K.
 "We were ready to rock out and we waited and waited and finally it was our turn... ...there were a half million people asleep. These people were out. It was sort of like a painting of a Dante scene, just bodies from hell, all intertwined and asleep, covered with mud.

And this is the moment I will never forget as long as I live: a quarter mile away in the darkness, on the other edge of this bowl, there was some guy flicking his Bic, and in the night I hear, "Don't worry about it John. We're with you." I played the rest of the show for that guy."

— John Fogerty[5] regarding Creedence Clearwater Revival's 3 a.m. start time at Woodstock.
