Movie Review: woodstock - 3 days of peace & music (the director's cut)
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent - arrived on time. Movie Review: Good stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
When reviews of music DVD's are all over the board regarding sound quality only one fair conclusion is possible: The problem is the end user,not the product. I was stunned by how good this DVD sounded. Consider the conditions under which Woodstock was recorded and the quality and calibration of your home system before jumping to negative conclusions about this "transfer". That the VHS version sounds better than the Dolby 5.1 mix on DVD is simply not possible. You can quibble about several aspects of this movie but sound quality should not be one of them.Movie Review: What happened to the audio

Don't get me wrong,I watched listened to and read everything I could find on Woodstock and always will.I've seen this movie maybe 25 times and love it.I bought the 25th CD collection and this directors cut back when it came out.I had not watch the DVD in a year or so because the sound just didn't cut it like I remembered.A month ago I bought an LCD TV and a nice surround sound system and everything has sounded wonderful until I put this on.The surround system has 8-10 different audio settings and they all sound pretty bad with THIS DVD especially many of the performances.I waited to review this DVD until I read others to make sure it wasn't just my ears and I find it's better to watch and listen to the older VHS version when I want to watch this.Great movie,concert performances and people watching BUT really disappointing audio soundtrack.I hope it can someday be improved,look what they did to Monterey Pop & Gimme Shelter,now that's a couple of directors cuts. Movie Review: Rating is for this version ,not the Concert

I have a borrowed copy so I am not bitter about buying this CHEAP rehash. Director's cut... means what? We all know that Woodstock was a groovy phenomenon - there's no debate there, and the positive reviews for this product are giving credit where its due. However, if I was a consumer I would be enraged. As another viewer mentioned, the sub titles are in places hysterically inaccurate- Couldn't the producers of this version hire a fact checker? Additionally- there are no extras at all, and the two sided disc is not mentioned anywhere. The dvd just cuts off and turns to black while CSN are still talking. I thought something happened to my TV. ( yeah man, the cats that put together this version were just not being cool - and that's not me just rappin' with a negative vibe- ya dig? Don't waste your bread man.) See the movie, just don't buy this version.Movie Review: What's not there?
Summary: 3 Stars
Heck- i really expected more from this DVD than I got.
I would have preferred if they'd included film versions of all the stuff released on the larger box set which preceded this release by a year or two I think.
No Creedence Clearwater, no Airplane's Eskimo Blue Day (easily a high point on the original 3 album release)- & you can barely tell Nicky Hopkins is on stage with them, if it hadn't been announced, though he gets some great licks in on Uncle Sam Blues.
And who is the moron responsible for the lousy subtitles?
It reminds me of the jokey subtitles used on Japanese releases of 60's albums- some of them are real clinkers.
And while the DVD mentions there are special features I sure couldn't find them. Perhaps I need to go over it with a fine toothed comb again, but you have too few choices, and the whole product seems to have been rushed. A letdown for only forty more minutes of music.
