The fact is, Michael Wadleigh's Academy Award-winning 1970 documentary, Woodstock, and its two associated soundtrack albums, the triple-LP Woodstock: Music from the Original Soundtrack and More (Cotillion, 1970) and double-LP Woodstock Two (Atlantic, 1971)both audio releases also including bands and/or performances not included in the filmhave ultimately failed to tell the real story, and on a number of fronts. As engaging, entertaining and well-constructed as these various snapshots have been of the event dubbed "Three Days of Peace and Music," the variety of releases to date have ranged from absolute truth to moderate inaccuracies and, even, a few flat-out lies. For all but the most committed of fans, knowledge of what transpired, how it transpired and when it transpired at the now-legendary 1969 Woodstock Music & Arts Fair has, despite a variety of initial, 25th and 40th Anniversary audio and video releases, been severely limited.
