Thousands of rock music fans are packed around the stage in a field near Bethel, New York at the Woodstock Festival, on August 16, 1969. A throng estimated at 500,000 persons covered on the area creating a gigantic jam of traffic and humanity over many miles and giving rise for concern for the health and safety of many of them.
