decided to have a concert, which they called WoodStock Music and Art Fair.
The festival was expected to attract 50,000 to 100,000 people. After a long
search for a large enough space, the partners eventually rented a field
from a local dairy farmer, Max Yasgur, who owned land about 48miles from
Woodstock, in the town of Bethel.
Early in the week before the festival, it became clear that the
event as going to draw a much larger audience than expected. By the day

How To Listen To Music, Not Just Hear It
1017 Words - 4 Pages.... behind you, as well as in front of you (the
surround effect). A good room to listen in, is a typical family room with sheet
rock walls and four ninety degree corners.
The second consideration is placement of speakers. The corners of a
room are the perfect spot for your speakers. You shouldn't position them flush
against the wall, but put the back of the speaker into the corner, so each side
of the speaker is against each wall. For this reason, the bass is extended
(louder), and the tweeters, mid-range, and woofers give you their undivided
attention.
Where to sit is simple, but it takes some easy calculations to find the
perfect spot. There is a common ru ....

Reflections On The Bocelli Concert, April 15, 1999
827 Words - 4 Pages.... Even more disappointing to me was the location of our seats, as they were way up high, and directly behind the performers.
I was seated fifteen minutes before the scheduled time. The place appeared uglier by the minute, and I kept wondering why half the seats were still empty at 8:00. However, the arena suddenly filled up, and the conductor took the stand approximately 20 minutes later than scheduled. When the concert began, I immediately came to realize how very lucky we were to have these seats. In fact, they were probably the best seats we could possibly have had because close-ups of the performers were projected onto three large screens during the entire concert.

"On Experiencing Verdi's Aida"
288 Words - 2 Pages.... it would be like. Although my opinion would have been much better if
I saw it live, it was a great first impression.
I thought that all of the characters were very well casted. I did think
that even though they were all very talented singers, they could have used more

chemistry with Radames. Radames too, showed little or no change in his voice or
actions to display the full range of emotions that he experienced. One ....

Because of the added themes of violence and revenge, this album does stand out from the rest of them. All his albums appear to get more aggressive and violent from one to the other. He didn’t necessarily start out being so violent and lashing out against other specific people. He started out with his first few albums by lashing out against society and some of its norms. He discussed the hardships of being a black man in a society that has a tendency to discriminate and single out black males and accuses them of criminal acti ....
