Free Music Notes for Woodstock 1
Free Music Review: Still a classic, overdubs and all
Hit: 4 Stars
Back in 1970, there was no anticipated album release like the first Woodstock 3-LP set released on the Cotillion Records label. Everybody who was there (or wished they were there) finally got a chance to relive the experience in their homes with the release of the soundtrack album. At least they thought they were reliving the experience. As we all remember, the package came in an elaborate three-panel gatefold sleeve with that RED distorted photograph of the stage and the vast crowd. Those huge towers sure made it look like a city. Unfortunately, the rest of the liner photos were blurry, and the package was quite lame. As far as the music was concerned, the producers gave us quite a generous helping.... three records worth!! Things begin with John B. Sebastian doing "I Had a Dream" and Canned Heat doing "Going Up The Country." I always enjoyed listening to the stage announcements, and each side had a few, which gave the album a true-to-life documentary approach. Unfortunately, not everything on the album was exactly like that. Other tracks on the album are poorly edited (The Who's See Me Feel Me, and Jimi's SSB/Instrumental solo) Others suffer from layers of overdubs (Ten Years After-I'm Going Home; Arlo Guthrie-Coming Into L.A.) Producer Eric Blackstead was right when he wrote that the technical flaws are like scars in fine leather. This is still an amazing album. Sly Stone's I Want To take you Higher medley is Woodstock at its height of its legendary glory. Country Joe's FISH cheer is a hilarious protest bit. Santana put on an amazing performance with Soul Sacrafice. Jimi proved his guitar was the the best of them all. Despite the flaws, this is still the ultimate (and first) Woodstock audio collection.Free Music Review: Woodstock

This is not at all the way I remember Woodstock ... it's funny for a little while to watch the media talk to the hipppies, and it's great to be able to see some of the best bands ever. However, I now realize how stoned we had to have been to sit through this whole movie! It's nice to have as a piece of history, but you really need to fast forward to the music to get through it.Free Music Review: Well i like the movie but...

Free Music Review: replacing cassettes
Hit: 4 Stars
For whatever reason, I bought this on cassettes when it first came out. The incredible difference in recording quality is enough to make it worthwhile, without regard to how long cassette players (and the tapes) may survive. A major marker of history.Free Music Review: Just like I remembered
Hit: 4 Stars
The 60's aren't so far away when you hear this CD. Brings back memories!
