So, what exactly is “Woodstock”? This was the town where the festival was supposed to run, until arrangements hit rocky shores due to an ablutions dispute. Woodstock’s organizers were repelled by the condition of the portaloos which failed to satisfy the health and safety requirements. This meant that they need to start all over again in a place called Bethal, less than thirty days before the historical festival’s opening! As everyone knows, the event was still a resounding success, with waves of excited folk flocking to the site donning the latest fashion trends.

One of Woodstock’s headliners happened to be Melanie Safka, whose sensational performance was recorded while she electrified the thousands of fans present. Incredibly, Safka was so moved by Woodstock and her time there that it was the motivation for one of the star’s best tracks, ‘Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)’. The bracketed part of the song refers to the sea of lighters the singer watched while the deluge continued.
