Editorial Review: Product Description: As the historic festival marks its 40-year anniversary, Rhino presents WOODSTOCK-40 YEARS ON: BACK TO YASGUR'S FARM, a 77-song, six-CD boxed set that features the most comprehensive collection ever available of artists that performed at the original festival, sequenced in chronological order of performance, featuring 38 previously unreleased recordings, including the Grateful Dead, The Who, Tim Hardin, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe & The Fish, and others. To assemble the most comprehensive document of the myth-steeped weekend, the boxed set's co-producer Andy Zax pored over every inch of multitrack tape in search of the strongest parts of each of the 33 sets. 'The way we approached all of the material was as if it was a cinema verite documentary-the raw record of the event,' Zax says. In addition to the music, the set offers considerable amount of ancillary material sprinkled throughout the discs-stage announcements, lysergic babble, the sounds of rain, a cameo appearance by Abbie Hoffman, and the graciousness of Max Yasgur's address to the crowd, heard for the first time in its entirety.

Average Rating:
 Rating: - A Fun CollectionI purchased this box set for my girlfriend as a Christmas present and she really likes it. She's much younger than an actual Woodstock attendee, but an avid fan of music of the times. She appreciated having some of the songs that are hard to come by and the live Woodstock versions available as well. She is a big fan of the set. It's nice to get so much variety in one collection. Rating:  - The Cream of the CropI'm pleasantly surprised yet not fully satisfied with this release. The sound quality and editing is much better than the original soundtrack or "25th Anniversary" editions. I realize that it can't contain everthing without making it significantly larger and more expensive, but there are a few cuts from both editions that I miss (like the rain chant and a few other announcements in the original soundtrack and several great tracks included on the 25th anniv edition that were not included). I do feel ... Read More Rating:  - This service sucks.After the wrong product was shipped to me, I followed the enclosed instructions. I have not heard from anyone regarding me receiving the ordered (and paid for) product. Rating:  - No Ten Years After.There is no Alvin Lee and Ten Years After? I don't get it? No going home? Rating: - Great look back from the Archives.Really dig this a lot, this is a great collection of songs. They left in all the PA addresses, really brings it to life. The music is great. Deadheads will love the Dark Star. Sound quality is great. You will be glad you picked it up. Coconut Phil.
