Woodstock unseen: 45 years on, photos from music's most famous festival -

recall an era of peace, love and half a million hippies camped out on a dairy farm.

 

" Not only is Woodstock one of the most famous music festivals of all time - 

it was also one of the defining moments of the 1960s counter-culture movement.
   

Rolling Stone magazine’s first photographer Baron Wolman was sent to Max Yasgur's farm in the Catskills to cover the festival.


More interested in the crowd than the performers -

his photographs are hugely evocative and offer an insight into this legendary event that is rarely seen.


The images in his book perfectly capture the zeitgeist, the music, the drugs, the people, the sheer hedonism;

the enduring legacy of the most famous festival ever. "

 (FYI - clicking on the camera icon "+20", in the lower right corner of any of the photos - turns into a 20 image, full-screen slide-show, with captions.)

Also might be of interest?  (Intended for those who might not be aware of this, particular, recent, release?)

(Although, I'm sure ... Most of y'all have already seen/heard all of Janis' original footage, music, etc, etc -

That is also contained within this documentary ...)

Janis: Little Girl Blue
Quote:

" Janis Joplin was one of the world’s most influential rock icons and a goddess of sound, but there was far more to her than that.

Academy® Award nominated director Amy Berg strips away Janis’ rock ‘n roll persona to reveal the gentle, trusting, sensitive, but powerful woman behind the legend, in the quintessential story of the short, turbulent, and epic existence that changed music forever.

Interviews paint a new, intimate portrait of Janis the woman. Through turbulent and tormented love affairs, and stretches of drugs and sobriety, one constant remained: Janis was committed to her music above all until her heartbreaking demise and death at the age of 27. "

 

For those of you, who -

1.)  Have not already seen it? (Venice Film Festival review Sept 2015. NYC, LA, etc. theatrical release: Dec 2015 )

2.)  Can't wait until it airs on PBS, in the U.S., in 'early' 2016? (on PBS’ American Masters series.) ...

“Joplin’s own words tell much of the film’s story, through a series of letters she wrote to her parents over the years, many of them made public here for the first time (and read by Southern-born indie rock star Cat Power),” reads part of the official synopsis. “This correspondence is only one element of the stunning, previously unseen material Berg discovered during the seven years she has spent working on Janis: Little Girl Blue. New audio and video of Joplin in concert and in the studio … and even footage from her emotional return to Port Arthur for her 10th high school reunion, add depth and texture to this remarkable story.”
