DVD Reviews of Woodstock - 3 Days of Peace & Music (The Director's Cut)
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. DVD Review: A very real telling of a time and place etched in memory
Summary: 5 Stars
This film doesn't have all the best songs by the performers at Woodstock, but what it does have far outweighs all that we've seen before. It's a real, organic telling of how Woodstock happened, gives a feeling of having been there as it morphed and progressed from an organized event to a gathering of the tribes into a nation, and doesn't gloss over the mud or freakouts, the logistic nightmares or any other problems. This is the closest thing I've seen to having been there and reliving the magical event.DVD Review: The Ultimate Woodstock Experience
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't born until 15 years after the Woodstock Music Festival and this DVD box set is an excellent way for our younger generation to experience one of the most amazing happenings in the hippie movement.DVD Review: Do Not Bother with the Blu Ray
Summary: 1 Stars
I think Kockenlocker "Thrusting Greatness" said it best. The analog VHS is far superior to any of the digital conversions and the Blu Ray is just a copy of the first D/C. A complete waste of material. The sound will pass for those who used to listen to 8 track and still think it is the best format. For the time being anybody who would like the memories seek out analog; the D/C was done out of greed not Love.........
Peace..........
Description of Woodstock - 3 Days of Peace & Music (The Director's Cut)
3 days. 3-million people. And memories to last a lifetime.Year: 1970Director: Michael WadleighStarring: Jimi Hendrix, Richie Havens, The Who, Crosby, Stills & Nash, much moreThe three-day Woodstock music festival in 1969 was the pivotalevent 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 Shannon
