Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation

The story of the worlds biggest and most known festival. Taking place just once, but the story behind it is worth a thousand gigs. We get everything in detail. The planning, the changes, the replanning, the problems, the uppers and the downers. We get to see how a very short staff made a 500.000 crowd of young, stoned people have the time of they're life. Clips from shows, voice over from attendees, volunteers and producers - it digs into everything. Beautifully restaured footage makes sure that the quality of the film is high and keeps it interesting and present-worthy even today. It's touching to see all these great people that made this and it reminds me of my own Roskilde years. 8.5 out of 10 peace signs.

Woodstock (PBS) is an amazing documentary that is filled with amazing footage and songs from the 1960s. I love how the documentary interviewed the ones who were at the festival and the usage of footage that exposes the festival. However, this documentary has a bit of a connection with the 1970 documentary called Woodstock. Overall, Woodstock (PBS) is a good way to celebrate Woodstock's 50th Anniversary.

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just visited the site and museum August 2019. Watching this documentary puts the prices together and makes you appreciate the message behind the music. We need more Woodstock's in today's world to wake people up...

Absolutely superb, capturing the naivete, determination, and spirit of those involved in putting it on, as well as the essence of this remarkable event.

Excellent documentary about the planning, prep, execution, and performances @ Woodstock! Awesome directing and editing of the incredibly high-quality footage from 1969 and recent audio interviews from those who were related to the festival in some fashion. Highly recommended!

The first line of the documentary is "this really could have been a disaster. " I admit I'm probably too young to appreciate what an amazing event this was, but , it could have been a whole lot better. Think of all the great acts in 69 that were not there . Elvis , the Beatles , The Rolling Stones . Nobody got paid , the people who bought tickets couldn't even get in . There were no fences , security was a joke. It rained . Musicians were getting electrocuted. In a way , it really was a disaster.

A beautiful look into the festival that set the groundwork for all festivals after. I only wish I could have been alive to experience it myself.

Old, dry, predictable. Needs more auto-tune. And representation.
