The Road to Woodstock
In time for the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, this is a celebration of the legendary music festival, told in the voices of its artists, its audience, and its creators, narrated by the man who started it all, Michael Lang
Michael Lang, the mastermind and creative genius who brought Woodstock to life, narrates the story of this cultural touchstone in American history. He began producing concerts and shows in the mid-60s, organizing Miami Pop in May 1968, at the time, the largest festival of its kind. The success of Miami Pop helped Lang create Woodstock, and the story of his long journey to and through three days of peace, love, and music, has never appeared in print before. Lang’s memories alone make a uniquely rich, personal portrait of the festival, but his access to the people who were there and the stories that he shares with them are equally remarkable, and equally fresh. Stories from the likes of Carlos Santana, Richie Havens, Roger Daltry, The Band, and many others, captured in interviews with Lang, are combined with Lang’s own story to create a singular history of the festival. Included are 80 black and white rare, previously unpublished photographs. In all, UNTI ON WOODSTOCK is a must-have for Woodstock collectors, fans, music historians.
