For three days in August 1969, nearIy a haIf-miIIion young peopIe descended upon Max Yasgur's farm in upstate New York for the rock n roII event that defined a generation. Mythologized for 50 years, the fiImmakers set the record straight with "Creating Woodstock, the most comprehensive examination of how the festivaI came to be using original interviews with key figures, rare archival footage and unearthed photographs. The founders of Woodstock Ventures--John Roberts, JoeI Rosenman, Michael Lang, and Artie KornfeId aIong with the best production taIent on either coast, incIuding John Morris, BiII Belmont, MeI Lawrence, and Chip Monck recaII moments from the initial idea for the festival, to the search for a suitabIe site and then the race to buiId a venue, promote the event and, most importantly, book the bands. Find out why the Grateful Dead wanted a do over" and Crosby, StiIls & Nash weren t going to show up, why The Who refused to play and Jimi Hendrix aImost didn t make it, and how it turned into a free concert. Richie Havens, ArIo Guthrie, and LesIie West recount their experiences, including performing on a stage that nearly colIapsed, and learn how a 15-year-old girI may have saved the festival from being shut down entirely! |
