NEW YORK, April 5 (UPI) -- The city of New York would make an ideal place for a Woodstock Festival 40th anniversary rock concert, a promoter says.
Promoter Michael Lang, who was involved in organizing the original 1969 Woodstock Festival, said the anniversary event should take place in Prospect Park's Long Meadow, the New York Daily News reported Sunday.
"It's big, it's convenient. There's public transportation -- and Brooklyn's cool," said Lang, who needs to garner at least $8 million in funds by month's end to move forward with his plans. "I'd love to do it. But it's been a very tough year."
Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe agreed that Prospect Park would be an ideal spot to commemorate the historical concert, which took place on a 600-acre farm in Bethel, N.Y.
"New York City has a wonderful legacy of great free concerts," Benepe told the Daily News.
"It's a park we have been pointing concert promoters to. There's no space anywhere in Central Park as large as the Long Meadow in Prospect Park."
