WOODSTOCK 40 is a six-CD live box-set album of the 1969 Woodstock Festival in Bethel, New York. Its release marked the 40th Anniversary of the festival. It was released on 11th August 2009. At the time of release, WOODSTOCK 40 was the most complete collection ever released of the festival, until the 50th Anniversary box set in 2019. All the artists who performed at Woodstock are featured on the album, except for Ten Years After, The Band, and the Keef Hartley Band. Was selected the best songs from each of the performances, plus stage announcements, set banter, the sounds of rain, and Max Yasgur's address to the crowd. Over the years, many of the Woodstock albums have featured "doctored" recordings in which mistakes, feedback, and bad miking were either edited or re-recorded. This set features the recordings as close to the original versions as possible in order to simulate actually being at the festival. Also for the first time, the complete and accurate set lists are included in the booklet. WOODSTOCK 40 is a 77-song, six-CD boxed set that feature the most comprehensive collection ever available of artists that performed at the original festival, sequenced in chronological order of performance, featuring 38 previously unreleased recordings. The most significant aspect of this set is that it contains tracks by almost every single artist who appeared on the Woodstock stage in their proper sequence. The exceptions are The Band and Ten Years After, The Keef Hartley Band as well as the introductory speech by Swami Satchidananda. The reason for this is simple: the nightmarish lisencing process the set's compilers and producers had to go through to make this happen. This challenges the assertion of the original soundtrack recording. In presenting a historical document of this proportion they researched the original set lists exhaustively and present them here along with the music and their choices. This is terrific not only because you can "see" what you're missing, but because those of you who aren't necessarily rock historians will finally know. The sound is as good as it can possibly get. The book is a monster, loaded with photos and wonderfully researched and presented liner essay, whose chapters account for each day, act by act. Ultimately, however, it all comes down to the music. Fans of individual acts here will be delighted or complain about the treatment individual artists receive. Even though there is a bit more music, The Who still get short-sheeted, but you do get to hear the infamous row between Pete Townshend and Abbie Hoffman, as do The Dead. You didn't need more of Arlo Guthrie than you already had, and why you still needed three tracks by Melanie or more by the completely unmusical Country Joe & The Fish is a mystery. You could have used more of The Incredible String Band or Richie Havens. But these are individual complaints. The set as it stands is the ultimate document, thus far, and will likely be for some time to come.
