As the 25th anniversary of “Three Days of Peace and Music” nears, some say that too much has been made of the musical lovefest that took place Aug. 15-17, 1969, near Bethel, N.Y. If it were up to them, the nostalgia would fade away. And that’s just the musicians who performed there.
Steve Hochman talks to Joan Baez, Carlos Santana and some of the other artists who are willing to remember the cultural milestone.
