Here is the tracklist and source list for my
Woodstock set. Bear in mind that I have edited together stage announcements and
performances from various sources to give the most complete "build"
of this material currently possible. Multiple sources have varying sound
qualities, varying levels of hiss ect. I have chosen not to de-hiss much of the
material as my personal preference is "purist" and because of the
extremely variant opinions about hiss reduction techniques. I have, however,
speed corrected everything!!
Everything I could find recorded from the
Woodstock stage is here.
BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION... by Scott Parker
To put it mildly, the assemblage of materials
required to compile the definitive record of the music performed at Woodstock
is mind-boggling. Over the course of 4 years of research and many attempts at
compilation, I have found myself becoming far more intimately acquainted with
the events and the participants (performers and audience alike) than I ever
felt I would be. My fondest hope is that this project TAKES YOU THERE to that
muddy field near White Lake over that hot August weekend in 1969. I think it
succeeds.
Obviously a project of this magnitude involves
the assistance of A LOT of people. There are people out there I may have traded
a piece of tape with 10 years ago whose names I have forgotten over time. if
you are among them, thank you. Couldn'ta done it without cha. Honest.
Thanks most especially to:
Kees: Who compiled the first authoritative list
of Woodstock performers and setlists, and continues to be an inspiration as
perhaps the world's foremost Woodstock expert. He continues to unearth new
materials, and was a major contributor to this effort.
Darrin: Who maintains what is still one of the
best Woodstock 1969 pages on the web at
http://home.columbus.rr.com/woodstock1969. The first place I saw the Kees list,
and a great resource.
Malcom: My old buddy, who traded me for a copy
of the Who set 15 years ago and made me think that this might be possible!!
Debbie and the Vassmers of the Bethel Woodstock
Museum in Kauneonga Lake, NY. I created this initially to contribute to their
beautiful museum.
Brad and the good folks of the Woodstock 1969
group at Yahoo! groups. Hope you think this was worth the wait!!
Martin: A fellow Woodstock obsessive who
contributed some great questions and pieces of info. Thanks again Martin!!
All the artists, promoters (hi AK!) and
audience members who were THERE that weekend. This project is dedicated to
you!!
Finally, to my good friend Kenny: you have been
truly invaluable providing materials, facts, opinions, and a HUGE amount of
help to The Project. Plain and simple: Without you, it just ain't Woodstock
Complete!!
Thanks again all. Take a bow!!
A NOTE ON THE SOUND AND SOURCES:
First of all, let it be known that I'm looking
for completeness in this project and not nescessarily great quailty (although a
lot of souces are the best circulating). Some sources are muddy and some are
noisy and I've left them that way. I'm not a huge fan of digital noise
reduction as you will hear (especially on some of the film outtake souce
material), but I'm sure you can EQ to suit your needs!!
I've used many different VCRs, CD players,
cassette decks and turntables over the years in the compilation of this, and
I've used CoolEditPro for editing. Some of the edits are a bit jarring, but I
wanted EVERYTHING. Maybe someday someone will clean it all up a bit!!
Here's a look at the sources used:
Soundtrack LP: Although
supplanted by several releases since (especially the 4-disc box) this is still
a great document of the festival and gives you a real "you are there"
sense. I have a soft spot for this as it's the first Woodstock music I ever
heard, when my Brother-in-Law Rick brought a pirate Korean pressing home from
his tour of duty in Vietnam in the mid-1970s. I've used this for a few
more-complete sources and snippets of dialogue.
Box Set: The
four-CD box set issued by Atlantic in 1994. concentrates on the music, and the
best source for most Woodstock music. If you don't have it, get it!!
Director's Cut: The
1994 expanded version of Michael Wadleigh's 1970 classic documentary film.
Again, if you don't have it, get it!! Even better on DVD :-)
B&W Video: A
true find of recent years is the distribution of two hours of B&W video
tape shot by a person (who possibly worked for the Jefferson Airplane) who had
tremendous access to all areas of the Festival. Truly amazing to watch!!
Diary Video: Woodstock
Diary a.k.a. The Lost Performaces is a brilliant 3-hour compilation of outtake
festival footage, recently made available on DVD. As essential as the
Director's Cut!!
Film Outtakes: About
four hours of outtakes edited and converted to video in 1989, around the time
of the editing of the Warner official Lost Performances video. I've never seen
them in great quality, but essential nonetheless!!
Audience Tape: Just
exactly that, an uber-rare compilation of performances made by two audience
members. The Source of a number of great performances, and invaluable due to
it's containing a performance by the Woodstock "Lost Artist", Keef
Hartley.
Cycles CD: A CD
compilation of the best of Sweetwater, and a great CD to have in your
collection of this underrated Woodstock act. Contains "What's Wrong"
from the Festival.
At Woodstock Fetival CD: Contains the entire Ravi Shankar perfomace from Friday night. Apparently
hard to find, but great!!!
Woodstock Two LP: The
sequel to the Film Soundtrack, focusing on the lost musical performances.
Available on CD.
Lost Performances Video: An official Warner compilation of outtakes. Good for the time it came out
(1989). Could be done better now I think. You listening, Warners?
Viva Santana CD: A
Santana best-of, containing "Persuasion" from Woodstock.
Santana Remastered CD: Remastered CD of the first Santana album. Contains "Savor",
"Fried Neckbones" and the longest version of "Soul
Sacrifice" from the Festival.
Faithful Virtue Box: Great
John Sebastian compilation from Rhino Handmade, containing his entire Woodstock
set, complete and unedited. Wow!!
Soundboard Tape: A
number of sets have surfaced from raw, unbalanced soundboard tapes,
particularly of the Saturday night acts. Most are unedited. Kudos all around to
those responsible for recording and leaking these!!
Multitrack Master: A
very clean version of the Grateful Dead's set surfaced recently, sourced from
the Multitrack Master tapes I think. In any case, it's amazing!! An alternate
Soundboard also exists.
Blackstead Tapes MP3: From
a website containing MP3 samples of Multitrack Tapes being sold by the estate
of the Late Woodstock Soundtrack LP Producer Eric Blackstead. Just a few bits,
but it helps to fill a few gaps!! The website no longer exists, and the tapes
are believed to have been sold. Wonder who has them?
Jefferson Airplane Loves You Box: CD box-set "Best of" of the Airplane. Contains "Plastic
Fantastic Lover" from Woodstock.
Acetate: A
few bits are sourced from rare acetates, presumably from the Multitrack
Masters.
Woodstock Diary CD: "Soundtrack"
to the Diary video. Contains Joe Cocker's "I Shall Be Released".
The Life And Times Of CD: Country Joe and the Fish Best-of, containing a couple of rare Woodstocks
cuts.
2 CD Hendrix At Woodstock: Experience Hendrix' attempt to present the complete Hendrix set. OK, and
good quality, but edited.
1 CD Hendrix: Woodstock: Alan Douglas' 1-hour compilation of Jimi's set. Rare but worth it for
containing Chip Monck's final Woodstock stage announcements.
Lots of effort went into the editing of this
collection, and great care has been used to ensure accuracy, although accidents
happen anyway. It has been an honor and a privledge to see this through to the
end. Maybe someday we'll see a version 2.0?
Until then, thank you all. Now where did I put
my video editing equipment? ;-)
