A friend turned me on to this radio station playing Woodstock in real time starting Thursday....
“To revisit Woodstock as it all went down, XPN will broadcast Woodstock — As It Happened — 50 Years On, a radio exclusive that includes all of the festival’s archived audio, from the music to the stage announcements to the rain delays. Over three days, we’ll play newly reconstructed audio archives of each of Woodstock’s 32 performances, from Richie Havens’ opening set to Jimi Hendrix’s closing one and everything in between, in as close to real time as possible. From Thursday, August 15 at 5:07 p.m. through Sunday morning, tune in to hear the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and so many more — just as they sounded in 1969 during the weekend that would shape a generation.”

Thank you, very cool...I'll be tuning in to this.
Man this looks fun. Gonna set up a mudbog in my back yard throw a bunch of trash around, and pile all the furniture in front of the bathroom door for that "difficult to reach" experience
A 38 Disc box set to be released today.
Out this month is a 50th anniversary archive box set – all 38 CDs of it – which presents the festival in something approximating real time.

Listening now.
Mountain is on. Their set is HOT!!!!
I have a couple albums that I like good enough, but never heard them live. I feel like I’ve really missed out!
