Woodstock was an amazing psychedelic dream, and for all of you out there who want to get \u201cback to the garden\u201d \u2013 come out to Kraft Stadium in Jerusalem on July 14, 2011 for Jerusalem Woodstock Revival III.<\/p>\n

A Jerusalem summer tradition, now in its third year, the six hour music marathon with great covers of 60s favorites is \u201cmore than the music<\/a>\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s the way the music brings people together. Jerusalem Woodstock attracts one of the most diverse concert crowds I\u2019ve seen, and more tie dyes than I thought existed in Israel. This year\u2019s line-up of artists includes: Yael Dekelbaum, from the nationally acclaimed group “Banot Nechama” tributing Janis Joplin & Joni Mitchell; Tree playing The Grateful Dead and the rock group Libi & The Flash covering Joe Cocker & Cream.<\/p>\n

“I missed the original Woodstock Festival, and have regretted it ever since,” said Steve Leibowitz, President of the AFI (American Football in Israel) and director of the Kraft Family Stadium.\u00a0 “I believe that the music of Woodstock impacted Western culture in a way that no music festival or performer ever has since.”<\/p>\n
