I can still go this day remember the unique sound that the natural amphitheater provided. Listen to the announcements especially to hear the reverberation. I love listening to the music again.
Nice to hear about the people,e who made it happen,and the logistics behind it, not just the artists who made appearances. There will forever be more untold stories of Woodstock, ore than the event itself.... I would love to see more of these with more unseen footage...I know its out there somewhere......
Para los recursos disponibles en aquellos días, las condiciones meteorológicas prevalecientes durante los tres días y dada la relativa [des]organización del Festival, estos amigos hicieron verdaderas proezas con los equipos de sonido y de grabación: el legendario #Woodstock50
At the time, Mcintosh were considered high end hi fi amps that you would have in your living room stereo system. The thing is, at that time large scale concert sound didn't exist, nor did proper power amps. The McIntosh amp provided a large amount of power (for that time) but were also very hi fidelity. I believe there was 48 of these amps chained together to power the Woodstock sound system. The Grateful Dead would go on to use those amps for the guitar players as well as their famous Wall Of Sound PA they built in 1974.
One indoor place I've gone to rebuilt after flood destroyed it all new went like 28,000 watts of amplification for pa system for bands. Indoors. Large place but not any basketball arena..not louder cleaner...less effort
sissymarylen. yeah, I`m quite sure there r buildings TALLER! than the GREAT PYRAMID OF EGYPT , but 4,500 years ago, the pyramids were the tallest buildings for thousands of years.
Yeah, but look at old racks, like my Carlsbro 150watt PA, 8 Ohms.. It plays way louder (tho whitout the groundsub) than my 800watt HiFi 2 Ohm TV/PCstereo measured
This should be an entire documentary. Monumental accomplishment.

You know it’s in Massachusetts when it’s been replaced by a Dunkin’ Donuts 🤣
NEVER HEARD OF MCINTOSH AMPS UNTIL NOW. ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT CROWN ,QSC AND, BGW WERE THE INDUSTRY STANDARD AMPS FOR CONCERT SOUND.

ALWAYS THOUGHT THE PA WAS POWERED BY CROWN AMPS AND THE SOUND CONTRACTOR WAS CLAIR BROTHERS.
Mc intoch power amps not cheap.
That power is tiny compared to today. Hell there single amps today as powerful as all of Woodstock

It must have required a lot of MC 350 amps to get 12 KW of audio power!
So all you need is 10,000 watts about 40 feet up..... Got it
My home stereo is 4800-5200W RMS, for real, only 10,000W for such a giant space, not so much, lots of HORNS?
