DVD Reviews of Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music Director's Cut (40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition with Amazon Exclusive Bonus Disc)
DVD Review: Far Out Can You Dig It
Summary: 5 Stars
This version contained some acts I hadn't seen in a previous movie version. It was fabulous. I plan to visit the Woodstock Museum in Bethel--learned about it on the DVD.
DVD Review: Woodstock 2008 Director's Cut
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the 2009 anniversary cut of the movie after visiting Woodstock for the first time. I would like to compare it to the original film. A pretty good movie of a seminal Sixties' event.DVD Review: Woodstock 40th Anniversary Edition
Summary: 4 Stars
Good DVD picture and audio transfer. However, content is similar to the earlier edition. If you want extra footage of this iconic concert, get the Blu-ray edition.DVD Review: Woodstock Revisited
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for a friend who was at the original Woodstock south at Yasgur's Farm. With the additional songs, DVD, etc., he is in pure heaven.
I own the LP set but this is superb remastering, a thoughtful packaging and great liner notes/photos.
A must for any true aficionado.
DVD Review: Great DVD To Add To Your Colection
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great DVD, I own alot of Music Documentaires on DVD and this one is a great one to have. But just know that this is just the concert and there are no speical features in this at all. It might say there are but there are no interviews or anything. You think there would be more. But other than that it is a great concert. Wish I could of been there and it feels like you are in this DVD.
Description of Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music Director's Cut (40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition with Amazon Exclusive Bonus Disc)
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), director Michael Wadleigh worked with over 300 hours of footage to create his original 225-minute director's cut, which was cut by 40 minutes for the film's release in 1970. Eight previously edited segments were restored in 1994, and the original director's cut of Woodstock is now the version most commonly available on videotape and DVD. The film deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Documentary, and it's still a stunning achievement. Abundant footage taken among the massive crowd ("half a million strong") expresses the human heart of the event, from skinny-dipping hippies to accidental overdoses, to unpredictable weather, midconcert childbirth, and the thoughtful (or just plain rambling) reflections of the festive participants. Then, of course, there is the music--a nonstop parade of rock & roll from the greatest performers of the period, including Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Canned Heat, The Who, Richie Havens, Joan Baez, Ten Years After, Sly & The Family Stone, Santana, and many more. Watching this ambitious film, as the saying goes, is the next best thing to being there--it's a time-travel journey to that once-in-a-lifetime event. --Jeff ShannonProduct Description
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.
