Factual errors: This film erroneously claims several times that Sweetwater opened the 1969 Woodstock Festival. In truth, Sweetwater was the fifth act on the bill, after actual opener Richie Havens, Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian and The Incredible String Band.

Interesting and well told

I'm intrigued by VH1's foray into the movie business. So far they are 2 for 2 with "Sweetwater" and "Ricky Nelson-Original Teen Idol". Both were well acted and informative. I look forward to the next made for VH1 movie.
