Free Music Notes for Music from the Original Soundtrack and More: Woodstock

Free Music Review: American scripture
Hit: 5 Stars

This wonderful record (CD) loosely resembles Judaism's Torah. The Torah is generally chronological but some parts are sprinkled out of chronology for teaching effect. So it is with "Woodstock," the record of America's greatest musical event and one of the nation's most important social happenings.
Mirroring the ancient Israelites, the incline and fall of Woodstock comes at the end of Disc One. The stage announcer (whoever this was blessings upon him) plays the part of Moses, telling the people that they are prepared for receiving the great gift by caring for one another. Next comes Joe Cocker singing from the catalog of the generation's greatest inspiration - The Beatles. "With a Little Help From My Friends" is superbly sung by Cocker and well placed for the spiritual mission.
But then comes the fall - the rain arrives and the congregation is mislead. The one who calls for the stoppage of rain is the voice of the Golden Calf. The previous stage announcer/Moses voice is not heard and despair reigns. Had only the congregation realized that rain is a testimony to righteousness (Rabbi Elya Lopian ZT"L expounds upon this idea in Lev Eliyahu - "The Heart of Eliyahu"). The people sought their own physical comfort and squandered the glorious opportunity. What sadness!
Somewhat like Israel's 40-year post-Sinai journey, the Woodstock Generation and American society have been wandering. G-d gave them what they valued - physical pleasure - but it has not satisfied. Many of the generation have become like the oppressor, seeing "solutions" in materialism, statism, and militarism. This is a fate worse than death. Seen this way, the deaths of Hendrix and Joplin were blessings upon them (although they are missed greatly).
Enough philosophy (for now). The music is simply fantastic. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are young and darling here - three excellent numbers. Neil Young's ode to dread - "Sea of Madness" - stakes an early claim to Neil's importance to the peace movement and Western art. Canned Heat's "Going Up The Country" is first-ballot Rock Hall of Fame stuff. Sore amazed that Canned Heat hasn't yet been inducted at Cleveland -- ditto Country Joe and The Fish. Country Joe's "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin-to-Die Rag" has yet to find its equal in musical black humor. Joe pulls the idiot smile off the face of militarism, showing its shallowness and immorality.
Ten Years After's "I'm Going Home" is lusty and perfectly captures the mindset of young soldiers itching to get back to normal. Sen. George McGovern would underscore this urgency in his 1972 Democratic National Convention acceptance speech "Come Home America." (a speech the great writer Bill Kauffman correctly classifies as "Hall of Fame").
"Woodstock" gets Torah-like again in showing us past and future. Sha-Na-Na brings back 1950s innocence with "At The Hop." Sly and the Family Stone's medley foreshadows the disco movement and the sexual revolution of the 1970s.
Jeffrey Shurtleff takes a dig at Ronald Reagan when joining Joan Baez for "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man." Baez delivers a haunting version of "Joe Hill." I promise to sing along, Joan, when unions stop being totalitarian and "organizing" stops being used as a weapon against those who don't wish to be organized. "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man" also marks a sad turn by the American Left as the movement stopped trying to engage blue-collar Americans and turned to scorning them. How about compassion for that former union Democrat Reagan? McDonald attacked an idea where Baez goes after a person. It's a fine line, to be sure, but Baez crossed it. Just the same, Joan has a lovely voice.
John B. Sebastian deeply moves us with his two songs. "I Had a Dream" is great summary pathos for the Woodstock Generation. Santana paints a colorful road sign for the generation to right itself. "Soul Sacrifice" is a Jewish concept - self denial (mesiras nefesh). With that fixed in our hearts and minds, we're uplifted by The Butterfield Blues Band gathering the lost sheep in "Love March" (my favorite track on the two discs).
Host Max Yasgur reminds us of the faithful and gentle nature of farming, following Jefferson Airplane's inspiring calls not to quit in "Volunteers."
We finish the CD hopeful, moving toward a better future under Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner." It's a great way to end this important piece of American scripture. No choir ending required since Hendrix's guitar spoke for the multitudes.

Music from the Original Soundtrack and More: Woodstock Poster

Originally released in 1970 as a triple-LP, MUSIC FROM THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK AND MORE: WOODSTOCK topped Billboard's pop albums chart for four weeks, and was a Top 20 R&B album as well. As potent a musical time capsule as ever existed, it captures the three-day, 1969 concert event that united close to half a million members of what came to be known as the 'Woodstock Generation.' Rhino's deluxe, 40th anniversary, 2-CD reissue of this sprawling and era-defining sonic document-featuring CSN&Y, The Who, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and much more is remastered from the original analog
soundboard tapes. It s the ideal way to take a trip back to Yasgur's farm and performances that shaped music and popular culture for years to come.
