No refunds are offered, and police, called to the scene shortly thereafter, barely stave off a riot of over 500 irate ticket-holders.

VH1 is airing the entire Woodstock Festival for the next three days :

"The 60's was a time of unforgettable events from the Vietnam War, to psychedelic drug use, to youth revolutions. And it was during this turbulent time that four men decided to stage a music festival that would become one of the most memorable moments in music history. This Behind the Music unites these four men, Joel Rosenman, John Roberts, Michael Lang, and Artie Kornfeld. They share their experiences, from the festival's conception to legal disputes; from the festival goers' free love experiences to the lack of porto-potties. Learn about Woodstock's promoters, the crew, technicians, and talents including Joe Cocker, Richie Havens, and Arlo Guthrie, The Who, Ten Years After, Santana, and Jimi Hendrix."

Feb. 1st -- On this day in 1964, the governor of Indiana bans the playing of the Kingsmen's "Louie Louie" on all radio stations in the state because he was convinced the song contained obscene lyrics. Later on the FBI concludes that they can't understand any of the words.

Van Halen releases their first album "Van Halen" today 31 years ago, with great songs like:
Eruption
Atomic Punk
Lil Dreamer
Jamie's Cryin


Eddie Van Halen said the guitar on the album cover was his first, a 12string purchased from "a Radio Shack-type of store in Pasedena" that he modified and dubbed "Frankenstein".
