A special stage was designed for Woodstock. The design was supposed to cut down the time between acts in considerable ways. The idea for it was to have the stage rotate like a turntable, which would allow one band to get ready as the other band was performing.

Unfortunately, the weight of the equipment was too much and the casters broke immediately. The organizers had no choice but to return to the traditional way of tearing down and setting up the stages, Thanks to this and the weather, everything was pushed back.
