In 1994, the 25th anniversary of Woodstock was celebrated by a new generation of performers and fans who aimed at recreating the original ideology and feeling of community, peace, and music through a large music festival. The wide range of bands was truly reflective of the most popular artists of the time, and the event was critically praised as a concert. However times had changed and the concerts were marred by violent incidents, and discontinued after a second event in 1999.
