Features: Collector's Edition
1969 was a year unlike any other. Man first set foot on the moon. The New York Mets won the World Series against all odds. And for three days in the rural town of Bethel, New York, half a million people experienced the single most defining moment of their generation; a concert unprecedented in scope and influence, a coming together of people from all walks of life with a single common goal: Peace and music. They called it Woodstock. One year later, a landmark Oscar-winning documentary captured the essence of the music, the electricity of the performances, and the experience of those who lived it. Newly remastered, the film features legendary performances by 17 best selling artists.
"...deserves its registry in the Library of Congress; not just for the great rock performances, but because it best captures the brief era of flower power." Brian Koller, FilmsGraded.com
"...a dazzling reminder of a simpler, younger time and the brief promise it attained." Pete Croatto, FilmCritic.com
"An important sociological document as much as a massive who's who of rock and folk in 1969." Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
"Few documentaries have captured a time and place more completely, poignantly, and for that matter, entertainingly." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"...a milestone in artistic collation of raw footage...an absolute triumph in its marriage of cinematic technology to reality." Variety
Editor's Note
Michael Wadleigh's WOODSTOCK: THREE DAYS OF PEACE & MUSIC finds the best rock stars of the 1960s performing at the historic Woodstock Music and Art Fair, the most celebrated rock concert of all time. Shot over the course of three days in August 1969, the film conveys the unique spirit of the once-in-a-lifetime, communal event, and in turn, captures the mood of an entire era. Amazingly volatile, electrifying performances are included by such timeless artists as Richie Havens; Joan Baez; The Who; Sha Na Na; Joe Cocker; Country Joe and The Fish; Arlo Guthrie; Crosby, Stills and Nash; Ten Years After; Santana; Sly and the Family Stone; Jimi Hendrix; Canned Heat; John Sebastian; Jefferson Airplane; and Janis Joplin. In addition to the music, the film's historical relevance is what makes it such an important time capsule, thrillingly eternalizing the legendary event for generations to come.This digitally remastered, widescreen director's cut of the Academy Award-winning documentary features 40 minutes of footage not included in the original film, and was released in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the legendary music festival.
