Celebrating the 55th Woodstock Anniversary
During the weekend of August 15th-17th 1969 the focal point of the rock and roll universe was focused on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, New York. The grounds that weekend hosted what was dubbed “An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music”. With almost half a million people in attendance (and that one uncle who claimed he was but really wasn’t) it became one of the most legendary events in history. We speak of course about The Woodstock Music and Art Fair and we celebrate today we celebrate the 55th Woodstock anniversary.
Woodstock Meets MMR
Much like Woodstock, WMMR has been interwoven into the fabric of the great history of rock and roll. At the time of the original Woodstock, MMR had already been on the air for almost a year and a half. Those attending the weekend festivities and picked up the official Woodstock program would’ve flipped the pages and found an ad for The Marconi Experiment and WMMR.
Throughout the halls of the living museum that is the MMR Studios we have such an amazing selection of memorabilia. Everything from signed guitars, gold records, concert posters and plenty of smiling faces of rockstar and disc jockey alike. In our green room area we do have a few pieces from the original Woodstock which you can check out below to celebrate a far-out Woodstock anniversary!
