Summary: The 20th-anniversary commemorative edition of the greatest rock concert ever. A motley army dressed in the de rigueur uniform of tie-dyed T-shirts, jeans and headbands clogs the roads leading to Max Yasgur's Bethel, New York, farm. The flower-child forces, nearly half-a-million strong, come for the music. And with a promised lineup of The Who, Santana, Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix and more, who can blame them? But what this army doesn't know is that it, too, will be a star, an essential player in the August 1969 event that will forever symbolize the '60s counterculture: Woodstock. The idyllic "city" formed during the three-day gathering belongs to history. Yet its music, its moments can still be savored in this Academy Award®-winning Best Documentary Feature and concert movie landmark. Presented here in a special 20th-anniversary edition that provides superior picture and sound, this new home video transfer preserves the original wide-screen theatrical format so that the film's imaginative split-screen, multiple and mirrored-image techniques can be enjoyed to the fullest. And the Surround-Stereo soundtrack has been digitally processed to give unequaled clarity and richness to everything from Joan Baez's soul-piercing solo to the celebrants' hammering of tin cans in an impromptu rain dance. Woodstock. It could only happen once. Now you can relive it in a way that, unless you were there, you've never seen and heard before.
