Featured Review
The mother of all rock festivals-Woodstock was a one time event in American history that perfectly captured the flower-power generation at its height. (no pun intended) Filmmakers carefully documented this event from start to finish and includes some spectacular performances, immortalized forever in this musical-documentarry. Full song performances by such great artists as Janis Joplin, The Who, Santana, Richie Havens, Ten Years After, Joe Cocker, and of course, Jimi Hendrix, makes this a disc every baby boomer should own. But Woodstock is even more-by interviewing the town people effected, the participants, the artists, the promoters, and even the Port-A-San man, this documentary is in a class by itself.
