TAKING WOODSTOCK

An adaptation of Elliot Tiber`s memoir "Taking Woodstock: A True Story of a Riot, A Concert and A Life." Tiber is an unexpected but pivotal role in making the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was. He was staked to the family business, a Catskills motel and as part-time manager, he had become the local town`s issuer of event permits, granting himself one annually for a small music festival. When he heard that the planned Woodstock concert had its own permit denied by a neighboring town, he called to offer his own. Soon half a million people were on their way to Tiber`s neighbour`s farm in White Lake, New York, and Tiber found himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life, and American culture, forever.
