Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  sagustocox | Oct 5, 2009 |   I really enjoyed looking through the coffee table book, The Woodstock Story Book by Linanne G. Sackett, and reminiscing about those days and the music back then. The book is approximately 11 inches square and contains almost 300 color photographs (taken by Barry Z. Levine) and a poem about Woodstock. Even though there’s not a lot of text in this book, I managed to learn a few things about the famous music festival: * The event was organized by four friends – Michael Lang, Joel Rosenman, John Roberts, and Artie Kornfeld. * The crowd was so peaceful, police and security had little to do and were called “Polites.” * One of my favorite bands, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young performed together for the first time. * 500,000 people attended the three day event. I think most people would enjoy looking through this book since it documents music that has stood the test of time.

The iconic color photos in this book share an important piece of American History. Barry Z Levine, Still Photographer on The Woodstock Film, took so many color photos that his index finger was blistered. Many of the shots were from a helicopter portraying the enormous crowd. The film, by Warner Brothers, won "Best Documentary Film" in 1970 and later in 1996, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." This collectible allows you to own a piece of American history. " The authors have created an intimate time capsule...an incredible all-access pass to the music and art fair that came to be known solely as Woodstock...Because Woodstock is told through a collage of photos, song lyrics and rhyming text, it also has a homespun scrapbook vibe, which feels right for recounting a personal communal experience...the vivid picture of the artist drawn through word andimage is nonetheless mesmerizing... the peace and love essence of Woodstock rings out loud and clear and like Sly and the Family Stone 'taking them higher' here the authors likewise reach for the sky."-Kirkus Reviews For three days in the summer of 1969, 500,000 people spontaneously gathered like no others had before or since then, bringing together peace, love, aromatic smoke and the sounds of the greatest rock 'n' roll show in history. Sounds and smells wafted through the air, making this legendary event one that has never been duplicated. Barry Z Levine captured this entire event. He arrived days before the crowds when Woodstock was still a green, grassy pasture and continued to photograph long afterthe last person had departed the debris-strewn mud hole. Along with over two hundred color photographs, the text by Linanne G. Sackett presents a chronological account of this historical event, capturing the performers, personalities, audience, excitement, mood, and actions.The Woodstock Story Book is a must for anyone who was at Woodstock, wishes they had been, or just wanted a bird's eye view at the greatest historical event of the 1960s.

"People, who were called freaks because of their hair and their way of dressing, came to Woodstock and they said, 'Holy smokes. We're all freaks' and they began to embrace that term. There were a lot of people who opposed the Viet Nam War that thought they were alone. They looked around and realized that they weren't alone--that there were a half a million people who felt the same way," Wavy Gravy says in the book. (Page 3)
Through poetic lines, The Woodstock Story Book tells a lyrical account of the days leading up to the festival, the struggles with locating a large enough venue, and the community created in just a few days. The festival's stages were not even completed before the crowds started arriving.
"They Stood for their truth
and pointed out lies
They were accused of
Communist ties" (Page 40)
The Woodstock Story Book is an essential photographic history of a tumultuous time in our nation's history. (
