1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Make The Same Mistake I Made!, October 2, 2004

By	Alan Gooey (Melbourne Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the performances. Vision was O.K. - I could even live the faux psychadelic effects, and the sound was good. Why oh why everytime there's an instrumental break do we have to put up with Timothy Leary crapping on about heaven knows what?? Surely with the high tech wizardery available to DVD producers these days we could at least have the option of switching Leary off. The DVD went back on the shelf and will stay there. US$20+ down the toilet. Save your money, don't make the same mistake I made.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty BAD, August 24, 2004

By	J. R Sategna (Martinez, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Looks like an outdoor concert that could have been in your backyard with the amount of people there. Timothy Leary's comments make up most of the DVD and do not need to be included-he cuts into performances with his relentless rambling on about nothing--Canned Heat was good-Iron Butterfly was good-it had the original bass player (Lee Dorman) the guitarist Eric Braunn (who died a few years ago) was there but where was Ron Bushy(drummer) or Doug Engle (lead vocals)? The singer in this lineup was terrible -I saw this group a few yrs later when they had Bushy, Dorman, and Engle-lots better than this lineup--Electric Flag was good with Nick Granvities (only original member) on lead vocals-- I wish they had interviews with the musicians and named the current members instead of having to listen to the Leary Crap!!!! My advice is to stay away from this one--its no Woodstock material----

3.0 out of 5 stars Some Give And Take Here, August 4, 2004

By	Monkey Bucket "Blogs & Bucketry" (Ca. United States) - See all my reviews

This was a two day event that I attended back in '89, held on the football field at Cal State Dominguez College in California . It wasn't promoted very well, so it didn't do very
well as far as attendance. I remember they were filming the whole thing and have been waiting for this to come out. Here it is, and it's a mixed bag. I don't recall Timothy Leary being there, and even if he was, I don't think it warrants the producers of this DVD to put him on over the bands while they are playing. I wanted to see the bands performing. If they absolutely needed Leary to sell this, they should have put him before the band segments. There are some good performances here,
if you don't expect to see everyone young again. Not all of these bands were at Woodstock. Mark Farner will tell you that Grand Funk was not invited. Let me get what I consider the low points out of the way first. Iron Butterfly,Humble Pie,Spencer Davis all consisted of original members with a bunch of heavy metal looking people that looked like they came from the Troubador.It's A Beautiful Day was actually there,and turned in a great performance,but are not seen here. Mark Farner,Melanie,Country Joe McDonald,Canned Heat,Leon Russel & Edgar Winter,& Electric Flag were all good. The reason to buy this DVD is Blood Sweat & Tears!
