Free Music Review: Sly & The Family Stone Takes Woodstock Truly *Higher*
Hit: 5 Stars
The two CD set of SLY & THE FAMILY STONE: THE WOODSTOCK EXPERIENCE is worth it for the "live" Woodstock CD alone. It was a magnificent performance--you can witness the group performing one of the songs on Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music Director's Cut (40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition with Amazon Exclusive Bonus Disc)--and it's all captured here live.
I wish the audio was slightly better with the audience but you can definitely hear them, especially on the sing-a-long. The one thing that's slightly different from the film version is that the song "I Want To Take You Higher" is actually performed after the sing-a-long and speech. Sly invites the audience to sing with the group on track 6- "Medley: Music Lover/Higher," and whips the Woodstock crowd into a frenzy; then they launch into "...higher" after a short break (it's reversed in the movie thanks to clever editing).
Even if you aren't a huge Sly & The Family Stone fan, the Woodstock performance contains some popular hits like "Sing A Simple Song," "Everyday People," "Dance To The Music," and of course "I Want To Take You Higher," which I'm sure you'll recognize. Even though I'm not a big fan, I was really blown away by their performance when I saw the movie of Woodstock and just had to have this CD. And the rest of the set does not disappoint. They groove and rock and you can't help but move with them. Almost as good as being there, minus the mud!
According to the CD sleeve--the two CDs are housed in mini-album replica covers with sleeves and in a larger cardboard package--Sly & The Family Stone hit the stage at 3:30 in the morning and where still able to get the crowd on their feet. Truly electrifying.
The set comes with a replica mini-album CD of Stand! but it doesn't contain the extra-tracks that were issued on the stand alone import CD.
OK so you don't get everything, I'm not sure why they didn't just include the import version of Stand!, but the real gem is the Woodstock CD and the sound quality is really good too! This set also comes with a fold out mini-poster featuring on one side Sly and on the other the beautiful audience.
Get it you won't be disappointed!
Sly & The Family Stone: The Woodstock Experience (2CD) Poster
Sly & The Family Stone were already breaking social and musical barriers leading up to 1969. The anticipation for their newest studio album, Stand!, was palpable, and the excitement leading up to their performance at Woodstock was unparalleled. Neither disappointed - this band proved in 1969 why they were one of the most electrifying acts of the day - completely reinventing funk, rock and soul, and inspiring a society toward change.Classic Rock Music CDs
