ReviewIt's almost impossible to regard the soundtrack albums for the Michael Wadleigh documentary Woodstock, simply as music, apart from the event that inspired them or what that event has come to represent. Music from the Original Soundtrack and More: Woodstock was originally released by Atlantic's Cotillion imprint as a three-LP set in a gatefold sleeve. It topped the Billboard Charts for four weeks and sold two million copies. It sold so well that Cotillion issued a sequel double album of more music from the festival that never appeared in the film. The LPs took the music out of the historical sequence of the festival and re-ordered (and edited) it for a sense of flow. Whether or not it accomplished its objective has been the subject of much debate and beyond this review's scope. What is relevant is that these performances signified that there was an amazing array of legendary talent on hand at Woodstock. Musically, there are over the top performances by a shockingly great Santana with "Soul Sacrifice," Ten Years After's guitar workout on "I'm Goin' Home," Jimi Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner" medley (still a stunner after all these decades); the Jefferson Airplane's rocking and raucous version of "Volunteers," and the orgiastic Sly & the Family Stone medley that includes "Dance to the Music," "Music Lover," and an insanely great "I Want to Take You Higher." There is also a John Sebastian track called "Rainbows All Over Your Blues," and "Love March" by Butterfield Blues Band.
There are some other fine moments worth mentioning here, especially the CS&N and CSN&Y tunes, including "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", and "Wooden Ships," with "Sea of Madness," in between (only "Wooden Ships" features Neil Young). There is "We're Not Gonna Take It" from the Who that is out of context, given they performed the entirety of Tommy. While Canned Heat's "Goin' Up the Country" has aged well, Country Joe & the Fish's "The "Fish" Cheer/I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag" still can make you sing along, Joan Baez's version of "Joe Hill" is poignant. Richie Havens' "Freedom" is still thrilling, especially since it is preceded by Sebastian opening the entire set up with "I Had a Dream." The "Summer of Love" had been over for two years by the time Woodstock took place, and riots in Watts, Detroit, Newark, and other places had occurred, as well as an escalation in the Vietnam War. The most out of place thing here is Sha Na Na's "At the Hop," which sounds surreal but ragged and right, and Joe Cocker's "With a Little Help from My Friends," is electrifying. So as it stands, Woodstock is a wildly mixed bag which does indeed have a significant place in the rock pantheon and should be regarded more as an artifact than as an album in its own right.
