Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation

This movie gives an documentary type version insight of the era through first hand accounts and original footage of the concert and crowd.

The story leading up to the concert and what happened each day takes the viewer back to experience those times.

Compliments the original concert version and movie version of the events.

What can i say? get your hankies out! this is my generation, and i am filled with pride and love! so glad this was made, so the enormity of what happened - what we were once capable of - can be shared with the world! and sly and wavy gravy and a bunch of these amazing souls are STILL out there, trying to create beauty, peace, and harmony in the world, though so many of us ignore or are not even aware of them...thank you for this gem - rock on.

I didn't realize I was a Woodstock fan until I saw this documentary on Netlflix. LOL. Everyone alive has heard about Woodstock, seen photos, etc. THIS documentary takes you inside with phenomenal concert footage? Why the '8' rating and not higher? It was a little slow to start. Stick with it and you won't be disappointed.

I saw this on the big screen, as part of Toronto Hot Docs' Woodstock 50th anniversary series. It started before the concert idea even came about, showed the then-cultural situation in the U.S., and the scrambling just before and during the festival itself.

I was promised a behind-the-scenes documentary, and there was lots of it, with enough snippets of music for a nice diversion. By using archival footage and photographs, the director brilliantly avoided using talking heads. Given that everyone involved is now in their 70's, this allowed us to just see the young people of that time, freezing their images of a magical, if brief, period.

Excellent documentary about the planning, prep, execution, and performances at Woodstock! Fantastic directing and editing of the film, which included a lot of incredible high-quality footage from 1969, plus, several terrific recent audio interviews from those who were related to the festival in some fashion. Highly recommended!
