Movie Info

This iconic musical documentary covers the three-day 1969 music festival on the property of Max Yasger's farm that symbolized the late 1960s in terms of musical, social and political ideology of the era. American audiences are introduced to Ten Years After, featuring guitar great Alvin Lee. Jimi Hendix, The Who and Joe Cocker give riveting performances. As naked flower children romp, the New York freeway is closed because of traffic congestion. Music lovers leave their cars and travel on foot

Few documentaries have captured a time and place more completely, poignantly, and for that matter, entertainingly.

Those who do appear are good, with some for the ages.

A seminal docu on any number of levels, musically, sociologically, and historically, Woodstock is a unique chronicle, at once summing up the zeitgeist and signaling the end of an era; for once Oscar voters were right.

A funky curio that defines the mood and spirit of its time, but which seems dated in many good and bad ways.

If the film isn't the best rock documentary of the best rock concert of all time, it will do until something better comes along.

a dazzling reminder of a simpler, younger time and the brief promise it attained.

Wonderful document of its era; music reigns supreme still

A fascinating time capsule

Lawrence Journal-World

Sprawling and overlong, it's nonetheless a valuable time capsule. You get the impression nothing could take the place of being there to witness the legendary event firsthand.

Matinee Magazine

An important sociological document as much as a massive who's who of rock and folk in 1969.

Audience Reviews for Woodstock - 3 Days of Peace & Music

Many documentaries begin from the awkward position that can be described as " I am showing you something" or "I am teaching you something" but amazingly (for the format) this one is altogether different. Here is nothing short of an experience and one that (its obvious relevance aside - and there's wave upon wave of relevance here) you wish you could actually attend. Be assured: the brown acid is not poison, its just poorly manufactured ... take only half a tab to find out if its right for you.

Poignantly, magical and entertaining, Woodstock it's an unforgettable trip to the 60's. With precious footages, director Michael Wadleigh, in his best work, bring one of the best documentarys about American, music, hippie, young adults, love & peace culture. A terrific study about different social levels and generations in a historical moment. 230 minutes of dazzing music and footages of a symbolized time and place. Fresh.
