Once the concert stuff starts - WOW. The footage is great. There are a few major artists that didn't get any coverage in this documentary. I wonder if that was a rights issue. That aside, the insider footage of this concert and the concert dwellers and the social and cultural impact it had is fascinating.
I wasn't sure if I would enjoy a documentary about the Woodstock Music Festival, that didn't actually focus on the music. But I enjoyed it a lot.
Though the focus of this documentary is on all that took place to bring the Festival into being, and the actual day to day crisises, and behind the scenes events, it is an indispensable watch for anyone interested in that momentous occasion.
It will assist you yo understand the magnitude and the sheer folly of it all. You will be amazed that they avoided a major disaster.

Excellent documentary about the planning, prep, execution, and performances at Woodstock! Fantastic directing and editing of the film, which included a lot of incredible high-quality footage from 1969, plus, several terrific recent audio interviews from those who were related to the festival in some fashion. Highly recommended!
But ive always wished i was there. therefore its good that there are people daring to make a good documentary about the august days of 1969 in bethel new york where love peace and music and hamp were joined together in a psychedelic climax of problem soluting, and where people were able to be human to other humans.
ive seen a lot of woodstock presentations earlier, have seen most of the concert film takes, and come to the conclusion that this was very well made.the grumpy old man is in the nostalgic corner so bare with me, the only thing missing is the lack of will to show the faces of the people narrating this film.

This movie gives an documentary type version insight of the era through first hand accounts and original footage of the concert and crowd.
The story leading up to the concert and what happened each day takes the viewer back to experience those times.
Compliments the original concert version and movie version of the events.
