Great Video & Sound quality
Added 11/16/2009
I think that Video Quality and Music Quality are excellent, no doubt! Restoration works are made by really professional people.
Package is containing 4 discs with bonus iron plate with 3D woodstock image. It's something that I didn't like since I want product quality rather that box quality. It's funny to see the external BOX Set like an Hippie Jacket Generation, even my opinion is better to avoid it.
Inside the box there are a few reproduction of memorabilia, not really nice from my point of view.
At the end, my opinion is very positive, I suggest to purchase it, not to forget the great event took 40 years ago but still alive in our generation.

I purchased this DVD set for the CCR clips
Added 11/15/2009
They finely included CCR in this package,but they did not cut them into movie.They are on an extra disc entitled Woodstock:Untold Stories.This disc also includes some great never before seen performances by Santana,Canned Heat,Mountain,Johnny Winter and Paul Butterfield.No Blood Sweat And Tears.
For me it was worth buying this set for the Untold Stories Disc,although they did not bother using all the camera shots to make it wide-screen as the movie was done.

Blu-ray NOT NECESSARY!!!!
Added 11/9/2009
Although I love the new footage as it is such a joy to see Janis Joplin and Credence and Mountain I must say that buying this 40th Anniversary edition on Blue Ray is a whopping waste of money. A film is only good as its original source and the 16mm film that Woodstock was shot on is so incredibly poor that enhancing on Blue Ray only magnifies the grain and the shoddy essence that previously was fairly unnoticed. So dear souls hoping to UPGRADE your visual anatomy of the Woodstockian world on display may lessen the blow to their mind and their wallet by simply staying with the 40th year anniversary set on regular and NOT Blu ray DVD. The film is what it is and if you havent seen it by now and your not under 30 then you should be ashamed of yourself. A great experience none the less but
repeat viewings will not be on your to do list for sometime to come. God bless us everyone and for pete sake dont take the brown acid.

Awesome Woodstock DVD
Added 10/28/2009
About 3 hours of extra concert footage - CCR and extended Who made it all worthwhile. If you're a "Deadhead" you'll love their footage. Clever packaging. Well worth the $$$.

Woodstock 49th Anniversay Box Set
Added 10/27/2009
I wasnt at Woodstock, but i sure knew what was happening in the music world---wanted to be there but could only follow it in the papers and TV---this boxset has to be the Ultimate viewing material available to us to date. the quality is way better than past releases (especially VHS)extended scenes with the crowd makes you closer to what your watching, you can feel the vibes--all the bonus material especially the bands that didnt get included in the original release kept me excited as i got to view some of my favourite groups in action with the times---all in all, if you want a step back in time to view what you missed not being there and if you were there, a trip to your past--BUT THIS GREAT COLLECTORS EDITION WOODSTOCK 3 DAYS OF PEACE AND MUSIC
