..........................................................................................

Woodstock was certainly the solar flare of the times, the event actually marked the last dying breaths of what was once an ideal that was supposed to change the world. It didn’t ... the war raged on, while protests at home turned to street fighting, and the once open ended use of marijuana and LSD, turned to the one pointed death drugs, such as speed and heroin. And the stars, those who rocked our world, they were dying or lay dead all around us ... Jim Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Pig Pen, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison.

Due to the music, music that was supposed to unite us all, Woodstock has gone down as a definitive moment in history, and for the greater part, it was all it could have been. These were very different times, and the mix of music reflects this ... We can’t imagine anything more strange then seeing Sha Na Na, with their gold suits in this setting, or the solitary vision of Richie Havens alone with his guitar in front of so many. This was probably the first live album of our generation to have such enormous success, it seemed that everyone we knew owned a copy. The music was bright and reflective, stirring the imagination and hopes of everyone that the world could become a better place through music. Nearly every track reflects the nature of the Festival, all of the artist knew that there was something special in the air, and they needed to wave their banner for all it was worth. Unfortunately, many artists like Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Grateful Dead, and The Band never made it onto this release due to contract disputes [certainly not a very communal attitude]. But those who were there, artists and fans alike, have etched their place in the stars. There are pieces of music on this release that will never be repeated, pieces that are almost sacred ... like Jimi Hendrix, Santana, the Ten Years After's version of "I'm Going Home," and who has not been moved by Richie Havens, as he sang "Freedom" to the entire universe.


Woodstock has become one of the biggest legends in the memory of pop culture, gaining the status of a cult event. Reality, as always, looked a bit different. Impending bankruptcy for the organisers, breakdown of infrastructure, water and food supply, free circulating narcotics with unknown effects, gigantic crowds of people storming the grounds – all of this would frighten away modern festival visitors immediately. Nonetheless, those hindrances are also responsible for the transfiguration of those “three days of peace and music”. What ultimately makes Woodstock such an amazing phenomenon is that exactly despite those conditions it worked! No mass brawls, no uncontrollable panic attacks, no destructive outbreaks. Even more surprising is the consistently outstanding quality of the performances. Rock music was still young and exciting. Any half-decent riff could become a timeless masterpiece if played with the right passion. No drug jams for stoned hippies; these live performances wrote history and made upcoming youngsters the biggest stars of a whole decade. Who then would worry about the state of the toilets when the music compensates for everything?!

The movie is great, and the audio-experience is even better! This, the (originally triple) album of Woodstock is many things in one: a live record, a movie soundtrack and a historical document. All three functions are fulfilled excellently. Stage announcements and other talk sequences between songs convey the atmosphere away from the stage as good as possible, while of course the music is most important. Not all selections for the movie were also chosen for the album, but all the classics are included. The artists must have been caught by a sheer wave of electricity and awe in view of the huge audience, it seems they had come with the firm aim of surpassing each other.

No wonder, the songs from Woodstock have all become more or less legendary. John Sebastian’s “I have a dream” is as simple as hippie-folk could get, and therefore the movement’s secret anthem. Canned Heat (then obscure blues purists) rose to stardom, “Goin’ Up The Country” is still popular enough to crown car commercials today. Richie Havens soon was also a main figure of the folk scene, “Freedom” is a cult track. Sha-na-na added some weird fun to the show, confusing hippies and rockers alike with their over the top fifties nostalgia.

As if that wasn’t enough, now for the real essentials: “With a little help from my friends” will always remain Joe Cocker’s most inspired moment (the idea to which came to him on the toilet). What he did with the song, should have put Lennon/McCartney to shame for once in their lives. This recording features one of the most rousing screams ever put onto tape. As any other, Cocker, too, became famous, and sadly never was as strong as this again. The Who (one of the few big names for the audience at that time) as always tightened the screws a good deal with an aggressive and captivating show. More furious energy came from Ten Years After, driving the crowds crazy whilst speeding up and down the frets before escaping via helicopter from the madness they had fuelled.

Apparently, Crosby, Stills and Nash weren’t “scared shitless” enough to not pull off a splendid acoustic-only version of “Suite: Judy Blue eyes” and a few other hits. Santana had one of his crucial moments that boosted his career when his band effortlessly managed to do the definite version of “Soul sacrifice”. This is one of those moments when music makes everything else irrelevant. The live performance is so raging and passionate that it puts the majority of performing bands back into their place. To even top that, Sly and the Family Stone put out all the stops and turned hundreds of thousands into a frenetic bedlam. On the level of intensity and physical presence, it cannot get more breathtaking.
In the end, Hendrix butchers the “Star Spangled Banner beautifully”: otherworldly and without any need for great explanations.

Rock wouldn’t be the same without this event. Since then, no festival is complete without rain showers and mud orgies. No music fan is complete without a copy of the best live record of all times. Listening to Woodstock - transfiguration, the good way.

Woodstock represented a moment in time that didn’t really exist outside of an ideal, or a conception ... but just having this album out there, reminding the world of what once could have been, may inspire others at some point in the future, to get back to the garden.
