Its surprising this didn't come out until 2019. A lot of the interviews are from decades ago. I liked hearing all the personal stories and peoples varying experiences. The only thing I wish they included was more about the documentary movie and how it won awards, carried the legacy, and eventually helped the producers avoid financial ruin.

Great insights but way too much background music that is inappropriate and loud. I have seen multiple Woodstock documentaries, this one is very good and detailed with a lot of unseen footage but as I said whoever produced it put too much background music which wasn't even 60s music that was overshadowing the actual interviews other than that it was a great documentary.

This is the 2nd Documentary on Woodstock I have seen in the last couple of months. The other one entitled, "Woodstock: Three Days That Defined A Generation", I felt was considerably better. Even though both discuss a lot of the same key points. The difference is that the other film looked at the three day festival like a news reporter, and presented things informativly and systematically. Whereas this film has too many interviews with the chief organizers and promoters. Which rather then give more depth to the subject, gave it (in my opinion), too much personal retrospect.

300,000 to 500,000. A musical & coming together event for all ages & times. A culture, unknowing at the time, that changed America & consequently the world. Not much music in this doc, but loads of fascinating background on what it took to bring this singular event into reality. Some unimaginable obstacles w/last minute MacGyver solutions with naysayers, some to the extreme. Strange to hear/see people expressing their inner thoughts seemingly speaking to us at this moment yet are no longer alive.

If you're interested in the musical and cultural event known as Woodstock, this is a must see. If the topic bores you, move along. For example, I'm not a Star Wars fan. I wouldn't be a good candidate to watch a movie about the creation of the genre. This documentary is superb in every way. I can't find one single fault. Loved every second.
