WOODSTOCK 40TH ANNIVERSARY

BETHEL — Some performers from the 1969 Woodstock concert are getting back to the garden for a 40th anniversary show this summer.

The Levon Helm Band, Jefferson Starship, Big Brother and the Holding Co., Ten Years After, Canned Heat, Mountain and Country Joe McDonald will be on the bill Aug. 15 at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.

The center was built on the site of the old dairy farm northwest of New York City that was trampled under by some 400,000 people on the weekend of Aug. 15-17, 1969. It includes an amphitheater and a museum up the hill from the original stage.

The returning acts feature some Woodstock veterans, including Helm, who performed in ’69 with The Band.
