1
00:00:04,420 --> 00:00:05,838
The Woodstock Festival was
going to take place
2
00:00:05,922 --> 00:00:09,300
in Woodstock, New York,
till they were kicked out.
3
00:00:09,425 --> 00:00:12,470
Well , there wasn't an original location
until down the road .
4
00:00:12,553 --> 00:00:13,888
I mean , we were looking for quite a while.
5
00:00:13,930 --> 00:00:14,931
BELL: They had been moving around.
6
00:00:15,014 --> 00:00:16,057
I mean, these festival guys,
7
00:00:16,098 --> 00:00:19,519
you know, had had three prior locations
8
00:00:19,602 --> 00:00:23,189
announced on the radio,
starting in March of 1 969.
9
00:00:23,314 --> 00:00:27,610
We finally settled on Wallkill
at the end of March ,
10
00:00:29,362 --> 00:00:30,947
out of desperation , really.
11
00:00:31,072 --> 00:00:32,949
And it was a site that I always hated .
12
00:00:33,032 --> 00:00:36,953
It had the virtue of being there
and being available, so we went for it.
13
00:00:37,036 --> 00:00:38,538
We lost Wallkill .
14
00:00:38,621 --> 00:00:39,956
It was kind of miraculous
the way that happened .
15
00:00:39,997 --> 00:00:45,836
We lost Wallkill on the 1 4th or the 1 5th
when the town council decided
16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,839
that they were not going
to approve our permit,
17
00:00:48,923 --> 00:00:51,050
the permit they invented for this event.
18
00:00:51,133 --> 00:00:56,097
And I found a better one on the 1 6th ,
a day later.
19
00:00:56,138 --> 00:01:01,185
Well , we wound up there because
somebody named Elliot Tiber called me
20
00:01:01,269 --> 00:01:04,522
and said , "I have a site and a permit,
and we want you ."
21
00:01:04,855 --> 00:01:07,817
Met Elliot at the El Monaco Motel
22
00:01:08,943 --> 00:01:12,154
right in the middle of the town
of White Lake.
23
00:01:12,196 --> 00:01:17,159
And Elliot led us down to a field
behind the motel
24
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:22,623
that he and his parents operated ,
which from the rim looked beautiful .
25
00:01:22,665 --> 00:01:27,461
As we walked down into it,
it began to get squishy,
26
00:01:27,503 --> 00:01:30,381
(CH UCKLI NG) and then it got squishier,
27
00:01:30,464 --> 00:01:33,551
and then we wound up in mud
to our knees.
28
00:01:33,634 --> 00:01:37,179
And Elliot had bugged out,
Elliot had simply disappeared .
29
00:01:37,346 --> 00:01:39,015
And that was the end of that site.
30
00:01:39,181 --> 00:01:42,852
MEL LA WRENCE: I received a call
through Elliot Tiber,
31
00:01:42,935 --> 00:01:47,523
who said that there was this man , a fixer,
32
00:01:47,732 --> 00:01:49,191
someone who's a go-between,
33
00:01:49,275 --> 00:01:53,070
who puts this guy together with this guy
and they make a deal.
34
00:01:53,154 --> 00:01:55,364
And he knew a man who had a farm.
35
00:01:55,823 --> 00:01:58,909
We got in this big Buick and we went
driving through the countryside.
36
00:01:59,076 --> 00:02:04,081
Michael and I drove up and we got there
and we met Max.
37
00:02:04,206 --> 00:02:09,170
And we drove out in two cars,
the fixer and Max in one car,
38
00:02:09,211 --> 00:02:11,505
Michael and I in the other,
39
00:02:11,547 --> 00:02:15,801
and he took us to this enormous field ,
very flat but very big .
40
00:02:15,885 --> 00:02:18,262
And there it is.
41
00:02:18,554 --> 00:02:22,058
And , like, I looked at Michael and I said ,
"Boy, you know, it's big ,
42
00:02:22,141 --> 00:02:24,352
"but this would make a parking lot.
43
00:02:24,393 --> 00:02:27,271
"We need some elevation ,
we need something ,
44
00:02:27,355 --> 00:02:29,690
"because people have got to see
the stage."
45
00:02:29,732 --> 00:02:35,655
And we said , "Do you have anything
that has some roll to it, some contour?"
46
00:02:35,738 --> 00:02:40,159
"I have a field , alfalfa."
47
00:02:40,242 --> 00:02:42,745
And we go out and look at it.
48
00:02:42,828 --> 00:02:47,833
So we drove out,
and it was raining , drizzling ,
49
00:02:47,917 --> 00:02:51,587
and there was a mist everywhere,
50
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:55,925
and we were on the top of what is now
this famous amphitheater, you know.
51
00:02:56,008 --> 00:02:59,428
And the mist started to rise,
and there was the lake,
52
00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:02,765
and here was this perfect amphitheater.
53
00:03:02,848 --> 00:03:06,519
LANG: There it was. We stopped the car.
You know, "This is it."
54
00:03:06,602 --> 00:03:09,271
Sort of we were
congratulating each other,
55
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:11,899
and then Michael took Max to the side
56
00:03:11,941 --> 00:03:16,112
and very quickly they made a deal .
57
00:03:16,612 --> 00:03:18,280
And he'd heard what happened to us
in Wallkill
58
00:03:18,322 --> 00:03:20,449
and thought that we were railroaded .
59
00:03:20,533 --> 00:03:23,786
And so he was politically, if you will ,
on our side.
60
00:03:25,162 --> 00:03:28,082
...and felt that we had been
treated unfairly,
61
00:03:28,124 --> 00:03:31,627
that a special case was being made,
62
00:03:31,669 --> 00:03:35,798
and that he was gonna stand up
for what was right.
63
00:03:36,132 --> 00:03:39,927
Max and I went off into the field ,
64
00:03:39,969 --> 00:03:42,138
and I said , you know, "This is it.
65
00:03:42,221 --> 00:03:46,809
"We really want your field .
This is where we need to be."
66
00:03:46,851 --> 00:03:48,728
And we made a deal,
right there on the field.
67
00:03:48,811 --> 00:03:54,984
GOLDSTEIN: Max was a Yankee
in the very best meaning of the words
68
00:03:55,067 --> 00:03:58,404
and a true believer in the American dream.
69
00:03:59,155 --> 00:04:01,907
I'm a farmer. I don 't know...
70
00:04:01,991 --> 00:04:03,784
(AU DI ENCE CH EERI NG)
71
00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:11,959
I don 't know how to speak to 20 people
at one time, let alone a crowd like this,
72
00:04:14,628 --> 00:04:18,841
but I think you people
have proven something to the world.
73
00:04:19,467 --> 00:04:23,345
Not only to the town of Bethel
or Sullivan County or New York State,
74
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:25,806
you've proven something to the world.
75
00:04:25,848 --> 00:04:29,518
The important thing
that you've proven to the world
76
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,854
is that a half a million kids,
77
00:04:31,896 --> 00:04:35,733
and I call you kids because I have children
that are older than you are,
78
00:04:35,816 --> 00:04:39,195
a half a million young people
can get together
79
00:04:39,278 --> 00:04:44,700
and have three days of fun and music,
and have nothing but fun and music,
80
00:04:44,825 --> 00:04:46,827
and God bless you for it!
81
00:04:50,664 --> 00:04:51,874
LANG: Max was an amazing guy.
82
00:04:51,916 --> 00:04:56,879
Max was, you know, one of those
sort of real American
83
00:05:00,132 --> 00:05:02,092
wholegrain kinds of guys,
84
00:05:02,968 --> 00:05:07,139
very straight, very honest,
very conservative in a lot of ways,
85
00:05:08,516 --> 00:05:10,559
but a real man of his word
86
00:05:11,894 --> 00:05:17,733
and someone who thought
that people had the right to do
87
00:05:17,817 --> 00:05:18,818
whatever they wanted to do
88
00:05:18,901 --> 00:05:22,321
as long as it was not adversely affecting
the people around them .
