The three-day Woodstock music festival in 1969 was the pivotal event of the 1960s peace movement, and this landmark concert film is the definitive record of that milestone of rock & roll history. It’s more than a chronicle of the hippie movement, however; this is a film of genuine historical and social importance, capturing the spirit of America in transition, when the Vietnam War was at its peak and antiwar protest was fully expressed through the liberating music of the time. With a brilliant crew at his disposal (including a young editor named Martin Scorsese), direct… More >>

There are many good things to say about this rockumentary: we were all surprised by the high quality production; the finest performances were showcased with startling clarity; and the editing was incredible. But wow! What was hyped as an honest recollection of the events up to and including the concert turned out to be the very commercialized effort it was thought to protest against. Nothing was said of the capitalistic negotiations that made the festival possible. The few scenes of litter made it look as though it was a “KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL” rally, when in fact it was not. The politicking by the bands was ignored, and the salesmen must’ve vanished for awhile. Rather sad for those of us who thought this was as much a political convention as a show. It was a muddy good show though…thats about it. Nothing good came of it. A wretched poor document.

Just received today and wish I read the other comments before ordering.
I had the 1994 VHS cd, before it got lost and the video quality was better that this one.

I don’t know about everybody else ,but i personally feel that woodstock was far too hyped about and over rated (which most definitely ruined the franchise in ’99). Though some great artists were there and the music was excellent. I’ve seen both the woodstock film and the isle of wight film (The british woodstock),,, I’d probably prefer the isle of wight festival because it was the biggest and the last of its kind and because i genuinly felt the music was better (The doors, ten years after, Free, the who, joni mitchell, joan biaz, miles davis, tiny tim etc etc. and of course Jimi Hendrix jamming in one of his last live performances) though that’s only in my opinion. I advise all those who have seen the woodstock feature to watch the isle of wight festival feature as well….see for yourself
