Woodstock was the height of the Counterculture movement in the United States. The poster gives the idea of what to expect at the concert, with the guitar representing the type of music played. The white dove is symbolic for peace the other reason for the event as a protest. However the event had a lot of last minute decisions, including the big one to not fence off the event. This still didn't help to handle the huge crowd which peaked at over 400,000 people. This concert defined the Counterculture society and showed how they were viewed by the rest of society. About 80 lawsuits were filed against Woodstock Ventures because of the chaos, and traffic jams, they were also refused to host another concert the following year
