From the WMBR website:
The first Woodstock festival took place August 15th through 17th, 1969. Original Woodstock sound engineer Bill Hanley, known as "The Father of Festival Sound", joined host Eli Polonsky live in the studio for a special Woodstock 42nd Anniversary program segment from 12 noon to 1:30 PM EDT!
Bill Hanley's live sound career began with the legendary Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals of the late 1950s, and in the 1960s included The Bitter End in Greenwich Village, Woodstock, The Fillmore East, The Cafe Au-Go-Go in NYC, and many more.
Hanley is a 2006 Parnelli Award winner for innovation in the live event industry, and the subject of an upcoming Oral History Documentary titled "The Last Seat In The House". We spoke with Bill about his entire career, took listener questions, and listened to some of the great music from Woodstock and elsewhere that Bill engineered!
