Woodstock '89 or "The Forgotten Woodstock" was a rock concert
that took place in August 1989 on the site of the original Woodstock
concert of 1969 as a spontaneous celebration of the event's
20th anniversary.
The whole event was spontaneous. Anyone was invited to perform
regardless of skill levels, and the majority of performers
were lesser-known bands. Wavy Gravy , the Woodstock All-Stars,
and Al Hendrix, the father of Jimi Hendrix , appeared at the concert.
The gathering took place on the same days in August as the original festival,
even though in 1989 this fell in the middle of the week.
