Many people consider the festival to be the birthplace of what we now know as the American drum circle. This applies to a group of individuals coming together to play music together. “Perhaps as a “jam session,” you know it better. Everybody was influenced by the music being played to create their own music and make instruments with whatever they had. The attendees were jammed with friends and strangers alike.

The person in charge of sound engineering at Woodstock was Bill Hanley. The event was very successful, according to him. He developed custom columns of speakers and placed arrays on the high towers.

The sound system was nonetheless perfect.
