Woodstock : The 1969 Rock and Roll Revolution
Woodstock - Book - by Ernesto Assante
(2018)
How can you explain the Woodstock Festival, 50 years after the
event, to those who were not fortunate enough to take part? The concert
that changed the history of rock music
and an entire generation cannot be reduced to the photos. Half a
million young people come to Bethel, New York, from every corner of the
world to experience three days of music together.
This event,
now legendary, resounds with the psychedelic notes of Santana and the
sublime guitar of Pete Townshend of The Who, the rich voices of Joan Baez and Janis Joplin, and the many other artists who appeared one after another on the stage. Yet, it was perhaps the guitar of Jimi Hendrix
as he played his version of the American national anthem, “The
Star-Spangled Banner,” as Woodstock screamed its impetuous,
revolutionary protest against the war in Vietnam, that became the symbol of an epochal dissent.
In Woodstock, journalist and music critic Ernesto Assante presents those unforgettable days through exclusive interviews and photos he has recorded throughout
his entire career. Michael Lang, Carlos Santana, Joe Cocker, Grace
Slick, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Bob Weir, Roger Daltrey, Graham Nash,
will all take us to Bethel to re-live and give thanks to the
extraordinary figures that made Woodstock a legend that still echoes today.
