Woodstock

The most important book about the greatest festival of all time. Now finally in German. Woodstock is still considered THE milestone in music history. In his New York Times bestseller, Woodstock organizer Michael Lang gives a first-hand account of the legendary mass event that went so very differently than planned. As a contemporary witness and direct participant, Michael Lang describes an entire generation and its zeitgeist, its concerns and longings, from which an event and a legend like Woodstock could only emerge. Lang is an extremely humorous, intelligent narrator who, with his unsparing look behind the scenes, gives an up-close account of the biggest, most moving - and most surprising - music festival of all time. A factual account that both captures the magic of Woodstock and relentlessly reveals the sometimes bitter reality behind it. This book captures the unique atmosphere of Woodstock in detail and takes the reader on a journey back in time to the year 1969, to a place and an event that made history and still stand for a very special attitude towards life today.
