The event was captured in the Academy Award-winning 1970 documentary movie \"Woodstock\", an accompanying , and Joni Mitchell's song \"Woodstock\", which commemorated the event and became a major hit for both Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Matthews Southern Comfort. Joni Mitchell said, \u201cWoodstock was a spark of beauty\u201d where half-a-million kids \u201csaw that they were part of a greater organism.\u201d   In 2017, the festival site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Have you ever heard of Woodstock.
