First sentence: Writing in 1980 in The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll, John Morthland described a failed attempt to stage a commemorative event a decade after the first Woodstock festival and confidently asserted that 'if any proof was needed that rock festivals were a thing of the past, surely this was it' (Morthland, 1980, p. 338).
