Regarding the Woodstock Festival, at the time the crowd was estimated to be over 300,000 and that included all those people camping 50 miles away. The legend has now grown to a half a million.
In the linked article, the Tinker Street Cinema didn't exist in 1969. It was a church. Hendrix might have rehearsed at the what's now known as the Bearsville Theater. It's a recording studio/concert hall that was owned by Alert Grossman in those days.
Lot's of things can get turned around in the almost 50 years since the festival, especially since everything was kind of hazey back then.
