Woodstock by Mike Evans

It defined a generation, exemplified an era: Woodstock was unlike anything that has ever happened before or since. Relive the moment and get back to the garden with this day-by-day, act-by-act account of everything that went down on Yasgur's farm. With interviews and quotes from those who were there and a wealth of photographs and graphic memorabilia, Woodstock is the ultimate celebration of a landmark in modern cultural history.
Woodstock is organized in three parts:
o Origins sets the stage by describing '60s counterculture, along with the festival's organization.
o The Event includes a rundown of each of the 32 acts, in the order they appeared, one spread to each performance. Fans and politics are also featured prominently here.
o The Aftermath focuses on media coverage, follow-up festivals, Michael Wadleigh and Thelma Schoonmaker's documentary, and Woodstock's enduring legacy.
Mike Evans began writing about music in the 1970s as a broadcaster, freelance author and regular contributor to Melody Maker. Paul Kingsbury is the former deputy director of special projects for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and the author or co-author of several books. His articles have appeared in Entertainment Weekly, US Weekly and numerous other publications.
