EXTD=Originally Released August 9, 1994\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: This four-disc box set was released commemorating the 25th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival that took place in August 1969, and combined both of the Woodstock albums released in 
EXTD=1970 and 1971 with previously unreleased material. It's a well-known part of the festival's history that many of the participants played self-confessed lackluster sets. However, considering the surrounding circumstances in which this music was conce
EXTD=ived  --  not enough food or water, an abundance of drugs, and thunderstorms  --  these artists manage to rise above it more often than not. What is most interesting about this box set are the unreleased tracks by the Band, Tim Hardin, Johnny Winter
EXTD=, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Ritchie Havens. A whittled down single-disc sampler featuring many of the aforementioned unreleased tracks are also available on Woodstock Diary containing Mountain'
EXTD=s "Southbound Train," Sly and the Family Stone's "Love City," and CS&N's "Blackbird" which aren't included on the box set.  --  Al Campbell\n\nAmazon.com Editorial Review\nThis four-disc album--like the famed August 1969 rock festival it chronicles-
EXTD=-is something of a sprawling, disorderly, engaging mess. Issued as a box set 25 years after the counterculture tribal gathering, it amasses the original three-record Woodstock set from 1970, its two-LP 1971 sequel, Woodstock II, and a generous store

EXTD= well, but it's just as likely most of the crowd at Yasgur's Farm would have gagged him if given half a chance, and Jefferson Airplane and Crosby, Stills & Nash clearly had better days). But Sly & the Family Stone, Joe Cocker, Santana, and Richie Ha

EXTD=iewer: avalondon from Huntington Beach, California United States  \nThis one of the best examples of when there is something special, don't tinker with it. What made the original Woostock albums was the music,the humor and the stage announcements. T
EXTD=he second LP was a respectable follow up for people who couldn't get enough. The box set lacks direction and must have been a quick job to make $$$$. They should have combined both orginal albums with bonus tracks and a good remastering or put out c

EXTD=nd quality of all Woodstock releases has always been inadequate, lacking no midrange and it's worse here. The booklet is lousy. They should have checked out "Monterey" and done their homework. Stick with the old albums, unless your a die hard Woodst

EXTD=f the tracks originally released on the 1970 WOODSTOCK LP you will find the earlier mixes far superior. Not only in terms of stereo but also in terms of overall sound. For example: "Joe Hill" is minus the backing instruments, "Going Up the Country" 
EXTD=has a rather washed out lead guitar solo and some tracks, like Sly & the Family Stone's Medley, have problems with the overall mix (i.e. the wavering sound of the brass section). Whoever remixed these tracks did not desire clear definition of instru
EXTD=ments. The classic 'orgasm' finale of "With a Little Help From My Friends" and the "Howitzer" finale of The Who are almost as muddy as the Festival site itself became. The bass is too low and the treble too flat.\n\nThe inclusion of previously relea
EXTD=sed material seems to be a waste of space. Both the original Woodstock albums are still available (remastered too!) So why double up on the tracks contained in them? Why not release all new material?\n\nOther than this, the set is worth it since it 
EXTD=is the only way you can hear the chaos and madness that inspires such previously unreleased performances of Joplin, Creedence and The Band. The quality is not as bad as I make it out to be. (I guess I am too used to the classic stereo sound of the v
EXTD=inyl era.)\n\nThis was a landmark festival in terms of recording (8 track) and, as such, deserves to be heard. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nFrustrating, May 4, 2001 \nReviewer: Marcos D. Agatho from So Paulo, SP, Brazil  \nI agree with the revi
EXTD=ew that claims: why didn't they release new material? If not a problem of quality with the recordings, why didn't the producers include one single track from the amazing Incredible String Band, for instance, or even the entire set by Crosby, Stills,
EXTD= Nash & Young, since Woodstock was a very good moment by them and their second (consequently, historical) apresentation. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nIt has the music but forgets the festival, July 2, 1999 \nReviewer: A music fan from Shaker Heig
EXTD=hts, Ohio  \nI was somewhat disappointed with this boxed set which I had been looking forward to playing. Although it has much of the music from the original three record set, which I have, and from the movie, plus much more, what it lacks is the re
EXTD=al flavor of what Woodstock was. For some inexplicable reason, they left out almost all of the stage announcements and crowd noise which, for those who were there, those who saw the movie, or even for those who wished they were there, really defined
EXTD= the experience. Where was the "no rain" cheer, Chip Monk of the Hog Farm announcing "breakfast in bed for four hundred thousand" or Max Yasgur's greeting of praise for the the crowd? All that was a big part of Woodstock. To just have the music igno

EXTD=. \nCons: Tracks are not separated by artist, as the next song's intro is included in the previous artist's tracks. \n\nEveryone knows the importance of this collection in the history of modern American music and culture, and most people old enough 
EXTD=to remember know where they were that summer (if not that weekend) in 1969.\n\nThis CD is a great collection, capturing the essence of those times. The list of musicians is a Who's Who of the acts that shaped the baby boomer generation. The music is
EXTD= compiled into four CDs, each with its own personality and power. None of the tracks are timed and one song often flows into another (unlike the concert where time between acts was long, largely due to logistics.) The song pointers are a little stra
EXTD=ngely placed, where a long introduction is considered part of the previous track, not the current. I imagine that makes it easier for radio disc jockeys to cue up a song, but tends to cut out the familiar casual introduction. I would have preferred 
EXTD=to see these defined as additional tracks. For instance, Joan Baez talks intimately to the crowd about her husband's draft protest in prison, yet this is still considered part of Arlo Guthrie's set. Her track begins when the music starts, while I co
EXTD=nsider the introduction part of her work. \n\nAll of the music is interwoven with crowd sounds and in some cases the crowd dominates. Country Joe McDonald's "FISH" Cheer is a good example (although the actual spelling is not politically correct.) Yo
EXTD=u can clearly hear the self-confidence of this large group of rain-soaked free spirits making a statement while making history.\n\nThis collection makes us part of the crowd. We hear some of the bands worry about the lightning and receive various an
EXTD=nouncements from time to time. There are fifty different songs by twenty-two different artists including Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Santana, Mountain, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Band, Joe Cocker, and
EXTD= Jefferson Airplane. This is too much to cover in any depth in the space allotted here, so I will provide a few highlights.\n\nRichie Havens opens the CD with a few beautiful tracks, especially the lively Freedom. Carlos Santana gives us eleven minu
EXTD=tes of Soul Sacrifice, one of the numbers that anchors the entire boxed set. It is a strong performance by an artist who has lasted a long time and still dazzles me. Arlo Guthrie and Joan Baez provide a good reference to that moment in time when thi
EXTD=s generation faced college, the draft, and the future. Jefferson Airplane's set, five tracks full, is a pleasure to hear now after all these years. Joe Cocker rocks a terrific pair of songs, including the Lennon and McCartney tune With a Little Help
EXTD= from my Friends. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young provide six more tracks on the fourth CD and they are excellent. Each of these four artists wrote at least one of these numbers and it is easy to see how their music had such an impact on the audienc
EXTD=e. Jimi Hendrix closes out the collection with three tracks, sandwiching the now famous Star Spangled Banner.\n\nIn addition to all of this great music, the collection is boxed and includes an artistic booklet including photos, quotes, interviews, a
EXTD=nd an interesting fact sheet. For example, promoters originally planned on having 60,000 people attend. 186,000 tickets were sold and an estimated 400,000 people were there. Another 250,000 never made it due to traffic.\n\nPick this CD up, though, a
