Mini-Woodstock in Sequence
I think what is most enjoyable about this presentation is that it is sequential. The Friday, Saturday and Sunday/Monday morning artists are presented on their respective play dates. Also, the dated split screen effects from the original film are gladly not here. One can really get the feel of Woodstock here. The sun is up and sets on Friday night as we go from Sebastian to Joan Bias--and so on through the days. I think the entire concert should be presented in order as a three day saga. the entire soundtrack exists, as do many outtake films. This certainly could be readily accomplished. However, this is what we have here, and it is great to see some of the tracks not presented in the original film. Although, film does exist of Melanie out there (a side shot from the stage), she is regretably not included here. This film is really an outline of what should be done to the entire film on a large scale. perhaps for the 50th.
