Why is the setlist wrong? Most/all of the songs in the list in the article were performed, but not in that order. why is this wrong?
--I think they're in alphabetical order.
References- Concert Tagline, Logo, & Dates
Even though the concert ultimately lasted 3 days, it was actually billed as "2 MORE DAYS OF PEACE & MUSIC." So I have corrected the text which optimistically read "Three more days of peace, love and music." (I have not set it in all-capital letters, although the original tagline generally did appear that way.)
A mention of the poster was inserted in the article because it provides a clear, memorable record of the tagline/theme, planned length of the event, and so on. Another editor quickly provided an image of it (thanks!), allowing readers an easy comparison with the 1969 poster shown in the main "Woodstock" article -- the '94 image is cleverly modified from the historic original design.
For additional reference, a image of an original Woodstock '94 t-shirt showing the poster layout may be seen at and an enlarged version is at . I cited this to confirm the correct tagline, and this particular image also has an inset showing the originally scheduled dates of August 13 & 14, 1994. (But the poster image in the article is more suitable for public display than this image of a t-shirt.)
National Guard at the ready
During the weekend of Woodstock '94, a company of the New York Army National Guard was training at the Leeds armory, one Thruway exit to the north. This company was ordered to a "stand-down" during the daytime and to rest, as they were placed on-call for potential crowd control at the festival. While the company was held over until Monday (a normal weekend drill would end Sunday afternoon), the unit was never called into service. I was a corporal in that company, based out of Troy, NY with a platoon detached at Leeds. Can that be placed in a Miscellanea section of this article? Fwgoebel 20:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
