The New York Times said Sunday while Lang, 64, remains convinced a concert should take place in 2009 to honor the 40th anniversary of the famed music event, Rosenman is adamant such an event should only take place under certain conditions.
"Woodstock is relevant on the anniversaries," Lang said of his proposal.
"If it's not the best lineup and the best setting and the right feeling about the community that develops," Rosenman, 66, offers in response, "we shouldn't have that event."
Both men agree their discussions over a 2009 Woodstock event remain divided over certain planning aspects, including what type of acts should perform and where the anniversary event of the rural festival should take place.
Rosenman and Lang, along with another original Woodstock partner's family, control Woodstock Ventures and all trademarks of the historic festival.
The Times said among the proposed sites for the anniversary events have been the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the site of the original Woodstock festival, and Prospect Park in the New York borough of Brooklyn.

Woodstock 2009
It would be great to see some great modern bands mixed with some of the original performers, but it does not look like this will happen after reading the NY Times article last week. For more info on Woodstock 2009 events, check out WoodstockStory.com
