What went wrong with Woodstock 50?

“You can’t ‘magic’ one of these [Woodstocks] into happening, and that’s what they tried to do with this. It had nothing to do with anybody feeling good about each other. It had to do with certain people making a huge amount of money. That’s a grubby way to start in the first place. It’s not a motivation that brings out the very best in people” - David Crosby told the Rolling Stone about the anniversary festival (he played the original, and was booked for the anniversary). That's the deep cause of Woodstock 50 falling apart, the Stone has all the details of wrong steps on the business side, made on the way.
