In August 1969, half a million hippies flocked to attend a huge rock music event at Woodstock, USA. It was an event destined to become the definitive document on the freaked-out craziness of the peace and love era. The line-up includes The Who, Joan Baez, Santana, Joe Cocker, Ten Years After, Country Joe And The Fish, Crosby, Stills And Nash, and Jimi Hendrix.
The Academy Award-winning 'Woodstock', by wide consensus the best concert film every made, has never looked or sounded better than in this director-approved edition with its sights restored and its sounds revitalized. Best of all, 40 minutes of previously unseen footage has been incorporated into the film by director Michael Wadleigh. Seen in its ground-breaking widescreen multi-image format, it's a once-in-a-lifetime celebration that captured its era like no other movie before or since.

Social commentary documentary? Counter Culture Revolution propaganda? Really really awesome live music spectacle?
Whatever view point you have on Woodstock, one can't deny, this is a fascinating watch. Despite it's mamoth running time (just short of 8 days....ok about 3 and half hours) it manages to feature compelling interviews and examples of the differing opinions on the festival, mixed with spellbinding performances from the likes of Hendrix, Sly & The Family Stone, Janis Joplin, Santana, Joe Cocker, The Who and many more.
Throughout the film retains a wonderful spirit of togetherness and peace. The fact the festival never achieved its aims of solving the world with peace and love only makes the documentary the more interesting.
A super document of late 60's America.
