3.0 out of 5 stars the best is missing... April 8 2003
By marc reinhardt
Format:Audio CD
Overall this is a good selection from the first Woodstock-Double-CD (or triple-LP), but it should be retitled:

"Best of Woodstock, Sly Stone not included...".

So my advice is to buy the Double-CD, because Sly's performance (almost 15 minutes, so that is maybe the reason why it isn't included on this CD) is absolutely essential!

4.0 out of 5 stars Over-edited but still good Oct 10 2008
By gizzyspal
Format:Audio CD
I partly agree withb the reviewer who complained about the 'butchered' editing, I too would have liked the whole song by The Who. I believe -- wouldn't swear it's true -- the song was shortened because at the beginning, Abbie Hoffman jumped on stage and grabbed the mike for something political. Still, it's a winner if for nothing else than the Havens and Hendrix tracks, and a few others are good too. You could get the set of the whole concert, but it's just too dam long for me, and frankly, a lot of it was crapola.

2.0 out of 5 stars Butchered!! April 3 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
There must be a better chronicle of the Woodstock festival than this CD. Many of the songs are severely edited. Santana's wonderful "Soul Sacrifice" is greatly shortened (you can get the full complete performance on the 30th anniversary CD of Santana's debut album), as well as Ten Years After's amazing performance of "I'm Going Home". "I'm Going Home" was MUCH longer than the version that's on this CD. They completely butchered a classic performance.

I really can't recommend this CD, it could have been so much more. They could have at least included the complete songs without editing them so drastically. It would have been much better as a 2-disc set. I have to give them kudos for including Richie Havens and Canned Heat, though.

If you want the best of Woodstock, then the 4-disc Woodstock box set would be your best bet.
