Woodstock 2004

In 2004, Woodstock was back on Vanbrugh Bowl, and was produced by Richard Ash and Drew Perry. The Woodstock co-ordinator had big ideas, and so a proper festival stage was hired in from Tega, together with two 5200 lumen projectors on either wing. YSTV got a return feed to the station working, and broadcast the full 12 hours live to the network (thus reaching Vanbrugh College TVs), as well as Big Telly in front of the off license queue. This is believed to be the first time Woodstock was broadcast live. Peter Bowles returned with the loan of several DV cameras, and after heroic work by Rob Humphrey getting the cabling fixed DeathStar was installed high up on the roof of the stage. Despite rain and poor attendance early on, and a failed projector bulb which reduced the brightness of one screen, it was generally considered a success. All the band sets were subsequently loaded onto the station's brand new Video Server and website.
