More aural history than concert recording. To say that it's all here would obviously be a literal overstatement – the festival ran for over three days (and these selections were drawn from seventy-two hours of recorded tape). But after listening to the three hours and forty-six minutes of music as well as the now-infamous stage announcements, it's as close as one is going to get two decades after the fact. It's worthwhile to remember that the 400,000 who were a part of this event were representatives of the last real people's revolution this nation has experienced. Impossible as it now seems, they and countless others like them really did stop the Vietnam War. Woodstock was the first great sixties event, the first mega be-in, and no one was prepared for the human outpouring to which it bore musical witness. Soundwise, what you get is the magic moment and the faux pas that make this more concert verité than musical pinnacle – it was really a question of who was there and why, rather than what they played or heard. This CD package captures that as well as it can now be done, but you won't play this one for its sound quality.01. John Sebastian - I Had a Dream
