This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of Woodstock.

The legendary music festival's lineup boasted artists like The Who, The Grateful Dead and Jimi Hendrix, and attracted more than 400,000 people. The latest attempt to commemorate the pop-culture watershed faltered, after organizers pulled the plug on a 50th anniversary festival last month, but previous anniversaries were marked with concerts of their own, and WNYC's Alison Stewart was there for one of them.

Stewart covered the 25th anniversary festival, Woodstock '94, for MTV. She said the two days of "peace & music" in the mid-nineties all went down without modern technology.

"There weren't tweets and emails being sent around," Stewart said. "People who were there were truly about loving music and having a communal experience versus, 'Oh! This is the most Instagram-able thing I can do.'"
