Woodstock

I wasn't sure if I would enjoy a documentary about the Woodstock Music Festival, that didn't actually focus on the music. But I enjoyed it a lot.

Documentaries about musical events do not really lend themselves to a review. However Woodstock was just as much a social event as a concert.

I was too young for Woodstock, but I heard of it spoken in reverent tones over the years. I also heard great things about Michael Wadleigh's 1970 documentary-concert.

I wasn't even born when Woodstock happened, but it's part of Western culture. Usually when it's referenced, we hear about Jimi Hendrix or Joe Cocker or any other of the big names who performed.

Once the concert stuff starts - WOW. The footage is great.

1969 was the summer of woodstock musical festival in upstage New York. The organizers were only expecting a few thousand but got a few hundred thousand.

What can i say? get your hankies out!

The reason I chose this title for my review is so that others don't make the same mistake I did years ago and miss-out on about 2 hours of this movie. "American Movie Classics"...

I didn't realize I was a Woodstock fan until I saw this documentary on Netlflix. LOL.
