Remembering Woodstock, 40 years later
Throughout the festival, film crews captured the acts on stage and later released the footage as "Woodstock," forever immortalizing the show and its performers and reportedly grossing over $50 million. In the photo at right, director Michael Wadleigh is seated in the foreground, bare chested and wearing a headband. A young Martin Scorsese (not pictured), who worked as an editor on the film, writes in the foreword for "Woodstock: Three Days that Rocked the World" that "what the movie did, and continues to do, is to distill the Woodstock experience and, more important, keep it vibrant and alive."
