Overview
August 1969. Half a million people. Four days of rain, mud, and music that rewrote what a concert could be. Michael Wadleigh's Woodstock won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1971, and it remains the definitive record of an event that defined a generation.
This Ultimate Collector's Edition brings together the remastered 4-hour Director's Cut and more than 3 hours of never-before-seen performance footage across 4 discs. Woodstock: Untold Stories runs over two hours and includes full performances by Joan Baez, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, The Who, and Johnny Winter that didn't make the original cut. A featurette gallery adds interviews with Martin Scorsese, Grace Slick, director Michael Wadleigh, and executive producer Michael Lang. Extras Part Two adds six more never-before-seen sets plus seven featurettes.
This copy is factory sealed. Original shrink wrap, unopened.
