Just like I remembered.......2007-06-10

The 60's aren't so far away when you hear this CD. Brings back memories!

It's both a Time and an Interdimensional Transport Device!.......2007-05-24

I haven't bought the CD release of the original 3-disc LP. I just want to comment on some of what other reviewers have said. I agree, it's funny to look back on that time as a middle-aged person. I was 15 when Woodstock happened, and couldn't go. Although it may have been one of the first (and certainly one of the largest) examples of hippie capitalism, it didn't seem like a product to us at the time. We felt that a magical change was taking place in the world, and that we stood at an unusual crossroads in history where we could, simply by choosing to do it, change the world for the better. This was a time when music could actually change you, when audiences and performers entered into a symbiosis and used their combined energy and consciousness to explore the realms of ecstasy!...and I'm NOT exaggerating...drugs were not even necessary. When the movie and then the album came out, we kids who didn't go could share the experience in some small way, at least in our minds. In that respect, Woodstock was actually experienced by far more than the 250,000 people who were actually there, and it became an event in our national consciousness. Both the movie and the album blew my little teenage mind, and I could spend many the happy afternoon listening to the album and vicariously being there. To me the proof of the magicality of the event is that the magic comes through even though technically, both film and album are of basically terrible quality. The camera work in the movie is frustrating and grainy. Almost the entire footage of Hendrix has his mic stand obscuring him. Members of bands' rhythm sections are almost never shown. The music and the video for parts of the Who's segment are not from the same part of the song. And the sound quality throughout the LP is pretty mediocre, and some performances suffer from technical difficulties (which is understandable). But for some reason, the magic still comes through....

John Sebastian ... "far-out!"?.......2007-04-04

I keep listening to this cd version & wondering why it seems different to me than the original 3 disc vinyl from the seventies. Where is the studio version of CSN&Y's "Woodstock" that opens the film!? Was that on the vinyl? I loved the Wavy Gravy stuff about, "People we got the Times, we got the times ..." and Max Yasgur, "I'M A FARMER!" But wasn't there a long, "far-out", announcement from John Sebastian about a baby being born at the site? And him going-on, hippy-dippy, about how that baby was gonna be "far-out!" That's been cut from the DVD too. Why, I wonder ... the dialogue was such an important signature of the event. Did the producers decide, 30 years later, that some of that drug/high dialouge was really just embarrasing or what? I wonder. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Golden Oldie.......2007-02-25

It's pretty funny now to think of Woodstock as an oldie. I was about 15 when the concert happened, and found out about it too late to attend. So when the movie came out I had to see it a couple times and then pick up the three album set. For many in my generation this was our concert weather we attended it live or not. The music on this set show cased some groups like Santanna who had regional followings, but weren't known too well on the national scene. After the release of the movie and albums Santana joined the ranks of super stars.

If you haven't seen the movie, then I suggest seeing it before geting the music because there are pars of the album (CD's) that don't seem to make as much sense if you haven't seen the movie. But since the CD's are practically taken verbatim from the movie you can visit the movie in you mind any time you play the CD's.

Some time back I heard some conservative talk show host ask, "So what was the big deal about Woodstock anyway? A bunch of kids getting drunk, stoned, and listening to music together? Hell! We did that in our Frat house and never found it to be too special." What made Woodstock so enduring was that it showcased what was the essence of the Hippie movement at the time. For the most part it showed that it was possible to have a huge crowd of people get together for a few days and remain civil towards one and other...Regardless of the weather conditions. It almost made us believe that peaceful existance em mass was possible......Of course this was shown to be somewhat a fluke because both concerts and peace marches after Woodstock turned out to have some of the wors violence...Such as the Stones concert at Candle Stick Park. But the idea of Woodstock was at least hopeful for a time, and gave hose of us who were involved in the Hippie movement something to be proud of.

One last thing. I do have the DVD set too. As I said it is kind of funny to think of Woodstock as an "Oldie." When I watched the DVD and listened to some of the interviews with kids who were my age at the time I remember thinking how right on the money they were when I saw the movie as a kid....As an older adult I have to laugh at how much we thought we understood of the world and how little we actually did. That was something no one could convince us of when we were teens with all the answers.

How ironic!!!.......2006-08-18

I had a scathing review of the "Woodstock" film posted for about a month. Now, it's mysteriously gone. Whatever happened to "freedom"? Whatever happened to "free your mind, man"? In a way, the censorship of my ideas is a huge compliment. Sixties-era hypocrisy was never hard to prove, but now it's a slam dunk. Was it a movie and a concert? Yes. Was it "revolutionary" and a tool of "change"? I think not. Thirty-seven years later, Woodstock is nothing but a fine example of youth wasted on the young. There is no amount of censorship that will hide that truth!!!
