THE FESTIVAL STAFF SET UP A
rural headquarters (above) in
nearby Bethel—with suitably
groovy decor—in what they
would dub the Telephone
Building. Meanwhile, Lang and
Artie Kornfeld (opposite, left
to right) willed Woodstock into
existence, working from one
of the on-site trailers in what
became a supreme exercise in
problem solving. They were
aided by a top-flight cast of
staging experts, including the
esteemed lighting director
Chip Monck (left), who also
wound up doing extra duty as
the concert emcee.14 LIFE WOODSTOCK
