Her car had broken down, so she and her friends got a ride with Jerry and his buddies. But when they'd tell people their origin story, they always lamented that they had no pictures from the festival. That was it, that was the first time, the only time that we've only seen a photograph of us at Woodstock and we've been looking," added Jerry.

Fifty years ago, hundreds of thousands of people descended to a farm in Bethel, New York, for Woodstock, a music festival that promised "Three days of Peace and Music." Not only were there three days of peace and music, Woodstock became a phenomenon that changed the landscape of culture forever. The festival was headlined by acts that defined the generation: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who, Jefferson Airplane and so many more. Today, these artists are revered and legendary, but in 1969, they were hip, modern and political during a time of cultural turmoil. Many people are flocking to Bethel this weekend to celebrate Woodstock's big birthday, but if you can't make it up to the farm, we made a playlist of songs from the artists who were there.
