2 deaths at Woodstock. One overdose, and one person was run over by a tractor.

Anyway, what do you know? Probably never even went to Woodstock. Wait a minute! Neither did I. But I could have! :) (stolen from Chilly Scenes of a Winter).
Ah ha... another american who believes everything started in the US...
Woodstock did beat Glastonbury Faire (or Festival) in the UK by a year, but so what? Glastonbury has been STILL happening yearly (off and on in earlier years) ever since then and over all, with very few problems considering the huge numbers of attendees that show up every year. Of course, as with any huge festival anywhere, there are bound to be at least
some problems, but GF's over all track record is pretty Impressive. Hurray! Check out it's history:

Whats woodstock but the beginning of the end.. I know and have read
volumes on this period in history,
Actually, I would say that the notorious Altamont Free Festival in 1969 (with the Rolling Stones, etc) was "the beginning of the end". Someone got killed there by the Hell's Angels.
To my knowledge, no one died under any circumstances at Woodstock and there was even someone BORN there! Pretty much the opposite of Altamont.
infact a bit if a bore about UK
psychedelia, as i have researched a game concept thats playing area
and time is London soho '68.
Remember if you will that Hendrix came to the UK to find an audience...
Indeed, and he also came REAL close to teaming up with Arthur Brown, in Arthur's band The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. He and Arthur were early and great friends.
Now THAT would have been an INCREDIBLE band! BTW, Arthur is STILL active and performing, recording, etc even today. What a survivor!
