In the summer of 1969, an estimated crowd of 500,000 descended upon Max Yasgur's farm for "three days of peace and music." The Woodstock festival has been analyzed and mythologized ever since, so LiveXLive tasked Redbeard (of InTheStudio.net) to tell us the inside story. 

"Woodstock Diaries” is a radio experience that features the voices and recollections (and music, of course) of those that were there, including Crosby, Stills , Nash & Young, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joe Cocker, the Jefferson Airplane and more. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the behind-the-scenes stories you will find:

--At the last minute, Jimi Hendrix asked his studio engineer, Eddie Kramer to fly in from Manhattan to record the event…leading to the seminal live album.

--The Band’s Robbie Roberston explains that the promoters choose the Woodstock location because they thought it would lure nearby resident Bob Dylan to perform. It didn’t work.

--Santana was not well-known out of San Francisco yet, so legendary promoter Bill Graham had to force them onto the bill. They were paid $500.

--Graham Nash’s chief memory was flying into Woodstock in a helicopter, where the crowd below looked liked “the encampment of the Macedonean army"

Is this the end for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth? The two have had their ups and downs in the decade they’ve been together, but after marrying in December of last year, they announced their separation August 10th, with a rep for Miley releasing a statement saying: "Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time. Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of the animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy."

Miley seems to be referencing the split in a new instagram post:

Their announcement comes just one month after she opened up about her "modern" marriage in a cover story for Elle magazine's August issue, where she said: "I think it's very confusing to people that I'm married. But my relationship is unique. And I don't know that I would ever publicly allow people in there because it's so complex, and modern, and new that I don't think we're in a place where people would get it.”

Over the weekend Miley was also spotted getting up close and personal with Kaitlynn Carter, and while fans might be tempted to blame bisexuality for the break-up, other celebs are sticking up for her. Like Halsey, who came to her defense on Twitter.

Let me know what you think of all the drama – talk to @ParkerKnowsPop on Twitter, and if you’re suddenly in the mood to listen to "The Climb" (because I know I am) listen to Miley Cyrus’ biggest hits on her Count-Up on LiveXLive!
