Storyline

Plot Summary

An intimate look at the Woodstock Music and Art Festival held in Bethel, New York in 1969, from preparation through cleanup, with historic access to insiders, blistering concert footage, and portraits of the concertgoers; negative and positive aspects are shown, from drug use by performers to naked fans sliding in the mud, from the collapse of the fences by the unexpected hordes to the surreal arrival of National Guard helicopters with food and medical assistance for the impromptu city of 500,000. This documentary features performances by rock bands and artists who were there, and a post-credits tribute to activists, performers and organizers who passed away since the original release.

Trivia The two- and three-panel screen presentations seen through much of the movie were innovations born of necessity on the part of its creators and film editor Martin Scorsese. With so much footage shot and the studio's unwillingness to expand the length of the released movie's running time, it was decided that a way must be found to maximize the amount of footage that could be used. Because of the wide-screen aspect of the release, it was realized that the multi-panel format could be used most effectively to not only include as much film footage as possible, but to also have concert footage and crowd reaction shots together on the same screen. The filmmakers believed it was important to show the viewing public just what a monumental event the Woodstock festival had unintentionally become. This method also allowed them to show many behind-the-scene activities that reflected all the hard work put in by the production staff and crew, another important detail that the concert's producers thought was very important for the public to see as they always had contended that without the efforts of the entire production staff, this event easily could have degenerated into a disaster.

Crazy Credits After the closing credits of the Director's Cut, Crosby Stills & Nash are heard singing "Cost of Freedom". The visuals are of a still shot of the crowd at Woodstock, fading into a long list of names of various people, including performers who were at Woodstock, who since have passed away. The list of names ends with the following: Peace Music Ecology, Liberty Community Democracy, Alternatives Knowledge Altruism. This is then followed by: Woodstock Generation 19**-20**. R.I.P. it up, tear it up, have a Ball. See more »
Quotes Interviewer: What do you think about the kids?
Police Officer: From what I've heard from the outside sources for many years I was very, very much surprised and I'm very happy to say we think the people of this country should be proud of these kids, not withstanding the way they dress or the way they wear their hair, that's their own personal business; but their, their inner workings, their inner selves, their, their self-demeanour cannot be questioned; they can't be questioned as good American citizens.
Interviewer: That's kind of surprising coming from a cop.
Police Officer: [smiling] I'm not a cop, I'm the Chief of Police.
