Review Quotes

"If you ever wanted to get the 'inside' scoop on what happened at Woodstock then you have to read this book. It will transport you to the actual days of the formation of the concerts and give you a great idea of the complexity of the festival."
--Graham Nash

"The Woodstock Festival was the story of a generation, and the best stories are told here by the people who made the festival!"
--Bob Gruen

"1969--I was 11 and although I fashioned myself quite mature I was still too young to attend Woodstock. I feel like I did attend it though from the music and movies and footage and now, most importantly, this definitive text. A summer of love and learning and a miracle of the changing times presented by the people that made it."
--Jamie Lee Curtis
