  • Woodstock Land for Sale, but Yasgur's Legacy Lives (originally published in The New Times Watkins Glen Edition, 1973) by Jeff Blumenfeld: Max's story, written a few months after his passing. The parallels to more recent events in Bethel are amazing.

  • Judge Rules Out '97 Woodstock Reunion (originally published in The Times Herald-Record, 1997) by Allan Wechsler: a report about the '97 NYS Supreme Court ruling barring Roy Howard from holding an event on his land.
  • You Can't Stop a Miracle (originally published in The Times Herald-Record, 1997) by Marie Szaniszlo: an article about the spontaneous gathering at Yasgur's Farm in August 1997.
  • Back To Which Garden? The Squabbling Spawn of Woodstock (originally published in The Village Voice, 7/99) by Margit Detweiler: an excellent comparison of 1999's three "Woodstock" events, written shortly before they occurred.
  • The Evolution Of A Party: The Wanna Party Peace Rally 1999 (originally published for the Bethel '99 Rally flyer) by Jeryl Abramson: a complete, concise description of the legal and political struggle at Bethel, NY through the 90's as it stood in August, 1999.
  • Woodstock - A Survivor's Story. By Christopher Cole. I was twenty years old and a seminary student in the summer of 1969. I was a loner, a peripheral man on the fringes of both the counterculture and society at large . . . .
  • Vern Helper Way
  • Streaming RealAudio: A one hour radio documentary, produced and broadcast by The BBC in 1999.  The show features interviews with Jeryl Abramson, Eric Sundstad, Elliot Tiber, and many of those responsible for Woodstock '69 and beyond.  A real treat; excellent sound quality and lots of music...

Presented with thanks to The BBC.
