Woodstock was more than just a music festival. It was a cultural moment that defined a generation and changed the course of history. In the summer of 1969, over 400,000 people gathered on a farm in upstate New York for three days of peace, love, and music. Woodstock was a celebration of the counterculture and a protest against the Vietnam War. It was a time of great change and upheaval, and Woodstock reflected the hopes and dreams of a generation.

In Woodstock at 50: Anatomy of a Revolution, acclaimed music journalist and historian Joel Selvin tells the definitive story of the festival. Based on exclusive interviews with dozens of musicians, organizers, and attendees, Selvin provides a behind-the-scenes look at the planning, execution, and aftermath of Woodstock. He also explores the festival's lasting impact on music, culture, and society.
