As an elder GenXer (born in 1965), I can tell you that there is no greater jealousy-inducing Baby Boomer/Aging Hippie memory than Woodstock. 55 years ago this week, 400,000 young people descended on Yasgur’s farm in Bethel, New York for an epic four-day concert, party, and camp out.

I’m sure there were people who brought four-year-olds to Woodstock, but my parents sure as hell were not the type. I have some older cousins who I remember talking about Woodstock, but their parents were not the type to allow that either.

Anyway, I’m a sucker for Woodstock stories and documentaries, so I enjoyed looking through these 32 photos from The Atlantic (first published five years ago on the 50th anniversary).

I think my favorites are the skinny dippers and the night shot that shows just how vast of an event it was.

I hope you can access them through this link: amp.theatlantic.com/amp/photo/596107/

Which ones are your favorites?

Did you or anyone you know go to Woodstock?
