Product Details
Half a million people. Three days. A dairy farm in Bethel, New York that became the defining moment of a generation. The recordings from August 1969 have always been complicated documents, raw and imperfect in ways that no amount of studio polish could resolve, and producer Andy Zax and engineer Brian Kehew understood that preserving that rawness was the only honest approach. What you hear on these five records is as close to standing in that field as you're ever going to get.
WOODSTOCK 50 – BACK TO THE GARDEN: THE ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION includes 42 tracks on a 5-LP set.

Producer Andy Zax says he, sound producer Brian Kehew and mastering engineer Dave Schultz avoided interfering with the tapes as much as possible in order to preserve their authenticity. “It’s not surprising that other producers’ first reaction to these tapes over the years has been ‘uh-oh,’ immediately followed by ‘we’ve gotta find a way to fix this.’ I'm not unsympathetic to that approach, but if there's a single overriding lesson that Brian Kehew and I have learned since we began working with the Woodstock tapes in 2005, it’s this: you can't fix them… That’s less grim than it seems, because once you’ve accepted the idea that there is no way to make these recordings sound slick, you realize that these tapes are the sonic equivalent of heirloom tomatoes — slightly imperfect, but delicious.”
