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. --Jeff Shannon |

Check out this awesome new Woodstock poster shirt for Men and Women. Red tee features the original poster artwork from the 1969 Woodstock 'Music and Art Fair', with the classic image of a white dove perched on a guitar neck. The concert dates are printed on the right, with 'An Aquarian Exposition in White Lake NY' (the nearby town where the festival was actually held). Below is the familiar tag line, '3 Days of Peace and Music'. Although attempts have been made over the years to recreate the festival, the original event has proven to be unique and legendary. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest moments in popular music history and was listed on Rolling Stone's 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll. It defined a generation, and a musical era. Performers included the Who, the Grateful Dead, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Santana and CCR. Refused invitations included the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, and the promoters turned down John Lennon and his Plastic Ono Band, when their request for The Beatles was not available. Super-soft fine jersey fabric is lightweight 100% cotton. Screenprint image will very in intensity due to the unique vintage wash. Great shirt if you were there, or wish you were, or think you were but can't remember, and anyone who wants to spread the message of peace and love. |
