Product Description |
Originally released in 1970 as a triple-LP, MUSIC FROM THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK AND MORE: WOODSTOCK topped Billboard's pop albums chart for four weeks, and was a Top 20 R&B album as well. As potent a musical time capsule as ever existed, it captures the three-day, 1969 concert event that united close to half a million members of what came to be known as the 'Woodstock Generation.' Rhino's deluxe, 40th anniversary, 2-CD reissue of this sprawling and era-defining sonic document-featuring CSN&Y, The Who, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and much more is remastered from the original analog
soundboard tapes. It s the ideal way to take a trip back to Yasgur's farm and performances that shaped music and popular culture for years to come. |

Best live concert ever,sounding better than ever. |
|
This is, without a doubt, the best version of this soundtrack that has ever been released. It certainly has been beautifully remastered and the results are astonishing, especially since the original recording was made under very challenging conditions so long ago. The liner notes are very informative, sketching the selection and order of the tracks (which always fascinated but is now explained), and noting those bands whose careers were fast-tracked by their sterling performances at Woodstock, e.g. Ten Years After & Santana. The booklet also includes some nice photographs not seen in other record packages. Bravo - the supreme rock concert, which epitomises the counter-culture of the truly beautiful (if naive) people, in all it's intended glory. |

2009 remaster still has 1 non-Woodstock track |
|
"Sea Of Madness" is performed by Crosby, Stills, Nash, And Young as indicated in the liner notes. However, this performance is not from the Woodstock Festival, but from Fillmore East, one month later. This scam was pulled on the original album release as well. The original correct recording can be heard on the 6-CD box set, Woodstock: 40 Years on: Back to Yasgur's Farm (6CD, Limited Edition). |

Music from the Original Soundtrack and More: Woodstock |

Product was sealed and in excellent shape. Sound quality was fair to bad, but can be expected with the time the recording was made. Seem to remember it to be a lot better than it really was. |

Quite fascinating and fun to listen to |
|
I have been fascinated with the 60s and 70s since I was a little kid (22 years old now) and I remember listening to this album as a middle schooler and loving the Hendrix and everything else. Listening to it now still stirs up the same fascination and love of the music of the era. Some of the songs might not have top-notch sound quality, but I think that adds to the recordings and makes them feel much more raw and thrown together, much like the festival itself. The CSN (and sometimes Y) songs on this album are great to listen to, especially if you are very familiar with the originals. Also, all of the dialog and singing about protesting, peace, and stopping the war really lets you know what and when you are listening to. I am sure some people will scoff at me for not being old enough to really know about how this all happened and the significance of it; they are probably right, but I feel like I can still appreciate (to an extent) the gravity of the situation and the beauty of the music. If you like this kind of music and want to have a taste of one of the pivotal moments in popular music history, get this CD. Worth every penny. |

Takes me back |

I bought this CD to use in a movie I'm making of my husband's tour in Vietnam. These are the songs he remembers while spending a year over there. Listening to such songs as "The Fish Cheer", "Joe Hill", Judy Blue Eyes, etc. brought back so many memories--great album! |
