Album Description:
This web-page describes the German release of The Woodstock Music & Art Fair, also known as Woodstock, was one of the most iconic music festivals of the 20th century. The festival was held in Bethel, New York, from 15 August to 18 August 1969, and featured some of the biggest names in rock and roll, folk, and blues music. The event attracted an estimated 400,000 people and became a defining moment for the counterculture of the 1960s. The festival was captured on film and in a triple vinyl album set called the "Woodstock: Music from the Original Soundtrack and More." The "Woodstock: Music from the Original Soundtrack and More" was released in 1970 and contained recordings from the festival's main performers. The album set was composed of three LPs and featured 30 tracks. It was an instant success, reaching number one on the Billboard charts and selling over two million copies in the first few months of its release. The album set captured the energy and spirit of the festival, with each track providing a glimpse into the diverse range of musical genres and styles that were showcased at Woodstock. The album set also featured the sounds of the festival itself, with recordings of the crowd cheering and singing along to the music. The "Woodstock: Music from the Original Soundtrack and More" remains a cultural landmark and a testament to the power of music to bring people together. The album set was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, and the festival itself was commemorated with a plaque on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. |
