Profile: "Woodstock" DVD

By Ivana Redwine, About.com

“Woodstock” (1970) is a documentary about an event symbolizing the shift in American social and cultural norms that took place in the 1960s. That event was the Woodstock Music and Art Fair held in August, 1969, in a rural area near Bethel, New York, about 90 miles northwest of New York City. Around 300,000 youths showed up and shared in a mostly mellow counterculture atmosphere. Among those performing music on the DVD are Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Carlos Santana, The Who, Joe Cocker, Sly and the Family Stone, Canned Heat, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. The movie won an Academy Award for Best Documentary.
