Time Travel Without a DeLorean — Woodstock — The Director’s Cut
The 1970 documentary about Woodstock will blow your mind
As I was thumbing through the channels the other day, I happened upon the beginning of Woodstock: The Directors Cut on T.C.M.
As I settled in to watch it, I was increasingly blown away by what I saw.
I had no idea what I was in for. As I read the information, I was shocked to see it was nearly four hours long.
No way was I going to sit through a four-hour documentary. Or at least that is what I thought at the time.
Four hours later, I was watching the credits go by and I must admit, I was a little misty-eyed as the list of amazing musicians and bands, many of them no longer with us scrolled across the screen.
Of course, I have known about the 1969 event called Woodstock and the people who played there all my life. I have seen pictures of the crowd half a million strong playing in the mud, dancing naked in the rain, and listening to one of the greatest collections of bands ever to share the same stage.
This documentary allowed you to be as close to actually being there as one could get 54 years after the fact.
