An exclusive Green Room Feature with Eric Bloom of Blue Öyster Cult (Green Room Features indicate a notable artist, engineer or producer not meeting all of the LLM membership criteria). Eric and Blue Öyster Cult are presently touring and have made major contributions to the history of rock and roll, but at this time do not have any new studio recordings in the last 5 years. Part 6 of 9. Recorded on October 2nd, 2008 at the UCF Arena in Orlando, FL.

The Woodstock Music and Art Fair was an event held at Max Yasgur’s 600 acre (2.4 km²; 240 ha) dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York from August 15 to August 18, 1969. Bethel (Sullivan County) is 43 miles (69 km) southwest of the town of Woodstock, New York, which is in adjoining Ulster County.

The festival exemplified the counterculture of the late 1960s - early 1970s and the “hippie era.” Thirty-two of the best-known musicians of the day appeared during the sometimes rainy weekend. Although attempts have been made over the years to recreate the festival, the original event has proven to be unique and legendary. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest moments in popular music history and was listed on Rolling Stone’s 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll.
