Woodstock - Music From The Original Soundtrack And More

Woodstock – Music From The Original Soundtrack And More

Released in 1970, Woodstock – Music From The Original Soundtrack And More is the iconic triple-LP soundtrack documenting one of the most important events in music history. Capturing unforgettable performances from the legendary Woodstock Music & Art Fair, held in August 1969, the album serves as both a remarkable live recording and a lasting document of a generation defined by peace, music, and cultural change.

Featuring performances from many of the greatest artists of the era, the soundtrack perfectly reflects the diversity of Woodstock itself, bringing together folk, blues, rock, psychedelic music, soul, and hard rock. Alongside the music, stage announcements, crowd reactions, rainstorms, and festival ambience immerse listeners in the atmosphere of one of the most celebrated live events ever staged.

Highlights include Canned Heat's infectious Going Up The Country, Richie Havens' emotional opening performance of Freedom, Country Joe McDonald's unforgettable I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag, and Joan Baez's moving interpretations of Joe Hill and Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man. Crosby, Stills & Nash deliver a stunning Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, while Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young contribute the powerful Sea Of Madness and Wooden Ships.

The collection also features spectacular live performances from The Who, Joe Cocker, Santana, Ten Years After, Jefferson Airplane, Sly & The Family Stone, The Butterfield Blues Band, and closes with Jimi Hendrix's legendary rendition of The Star Spangled Banner, followed by an electrifying performance of Purple Haze, widely regarded as one of the defining moments in rock history.

More than simply a live album, Woodstock – Music From The Original Soundtrack And More is an essential historical document that captures the spirit, energy, and idealism of the late 1960s. An indispensable release for fans of classic rock, folk, blues, and live music, it remains one of the greatest soundtrack albums ever issued.
