Forty years ago this summer, Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in rural Bethel, N.Y., was the site of the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. From Aug. 15-18, 1969, a half-million people braved rainy skies and gridlock traffic to attend this historic event, which featured performances by 32 celebrated artists, including Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Who, Santana, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Woodstock’s cultural legacy as both the defining moment of 1960s pop culture and a coda of sorts to the era’s idealism were celebrated in the 1970 Oscar-winning documentary Woodstock, which on June 9 will be released by Warner Home Video in a lavish new 40th anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition. Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music, available on DVD, features the director’s cut, with a run time of more than four hours. In addition, the Ultimate Collector’s Edition DVD and Blu-ray Disc contains two extra hours of rare performance footage, some newly discovered, some only seen in part and some never seen in all. “It’s an amazing package,” says Jeff Baker, the Warner EVP who is overseeing the film’s release. “To everyone who grew up in the 1960s, it’s a trip down memory lane. To everyone else, it’s a nostalgic time capsule from I ‘WOODSTOCK’ an era that truly changed American society, available on the UCE, which is being issued in limited, numbered release.

Among the more interesting items: reprints of handwritten notes from attendees, posted on a communal bulletin board during the festival. “I saw them at the Woodstock museum in Bethel and got permission to reprint them,” Baker says. Additionally, Warner will partner with VH1 on a cross-promotional campaign that includes the VH1 Rock Docs’ and History’s production of Barbara Kopple’s definitive feature-length documentary Woodstock: 40 Years Later. “As I reviewed Woodstock interviews and some of the newly discovered concert footage, it struck me how historically relevant this project has become to all of us who have been privileged to be a part of it,” Baker notes. “The new ‘content’ we have created almost 40 years later and the live performances we’ve restored in high-definition, some in extended cuts, will live on as studio assets forever, and as a testimony to a time and a set of circumstances that will never again repeat themselves.”
