With the 50th anniversary of the legendary Woodstock Music Festival, staged on the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th of August 1969 fast approaching, I'd like to share with you an interview I conducted a few years back with Michael Lang a music concert promotor, producer, artist manager and co-creator of the original Woodstock Festival who recently announced the staging of the 50th anniversary concert.

I met Michael when he visited Australia with Joe Cocker who he was managing at the time. In our interview he talked about the staging of the original Woodstock festival during which you'll hear some musical highlights and the role he played in rejuvenating Joe Cocker's career.
