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. --iJeff Shannon/ipbProduct Description/bbr1969 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. Bonus content includes: bull; NEW retrospective The Museum at Bethel Woods: The Story of the Sixties Woodstock.pspan class="h1"strongStills from emWoodstock: 3 Days of Peace Music Director's Cut/em/strong/spanspan class="h1"strong/strong/span table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" width="100%" p/p p/p tbody tr align="center" valign="top" tdaimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/warner/woodstock_1sm.jpg" //td tdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/warner/woodstock_2sm.jpg" //td tdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/warner/woodstock_3sm.jpg" //td /tr tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/warner/woodstock_4sm.jpg" style="float: right;" //td td style="width: 100px;"br / /td tdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/warner/woodstock_5sm.jpg" style="float: left;" //td /tr /tbody /table /p

This two-disc set will make you feel like you're there (or for some, there AGAIN!) It contains fabulous music and well-videod performances by some of the BEST of the 60's bands!! If you loved the era, or want to get a taste of it for the first time, this is the video for you!
Part of an Era! January 30, 2010
J. Neyer (Topeka, Ks)
Needless to say, I'm of the 60's era. It's been fun to watch all the 40th anniversay specials aired in '09, and this dvd really captured the sentiment of the time.
 Woodstock The Director's Cut January 17, 2010
J. Czarnik
To include Director's cut to me means more footage than the original Woodstock movie...there was more but not much more...still it gives me a point in history that no one will ever forget...just wish there was more history to see.
Bits and Peaces January 12, 2010
John Harwell (Grove City, OH USA)
The actual event of Woodstock goes beyond simple concert and music footage. The work of capturing history on film must have been daunting. Not only was history captured on film, it was filmed as documentary, too. When it's mentioned that this film won an Oscar as best documentary, "of course" is the only comment that comes to mind.

br /The extended version or director's cut is worth the time. When I got this film, I called my neighbors and had a Woodstock evening with food, drink, and, well whatever. It was wonderful to be that young, again, and listen to some of our musical heroes.
br /
br /This should be required viewing for every generation in the foreseeable future. Enjoy.
