Various – Woodstock (Back To The Garden) (50th Anniversary Collection)

No offense to anyone involved intended, but this has to be the most boomer release I have ever seen on here by any metric. Way more convenient than updating that adblocker on the computer with the nephew that never calls anyway and it will fill up half a wall in your large appartment very easily. And all for the low low price of skipping avocado toast for a week or two. 10/10

Great shame that they made this limited edition, thus pushing the price through the roof and outside the reach of regular fans.....there's some fantastic music on here.....sadly out of my reach financially.

i don’t understand why anyone would buy this, anyone who already has the woodstock 3LP set that is. ow

Today my new sealed copy arrived. I found it on the official Warner homepage https://eurostore.warnermusic.com/de/music-store/woodstock-50---back-to-the-garden-the-definitive-anniversary-archive/0603497851683.html
But I did not opened it til now. So I don't know which numbered copy this is. But it is the original box and the price is OK.

Can someone explain the hate this release has gotten? Obviously the price is really high but besides that it seems like a really amazing compilation. I listened to the entire thing, from disc one to 38. How much is actually missing from this release other than the Hendrix stuff?

I realize that lots of people have differing opinions regarding this release, but there are some of us out here who didn't then have the original $800 price that Rhino wanted for it, but who still want the entire concert without having to mortgage their damned house for one. 1969 copies (plus the 200 or so promos) is an arbitrary number. Rhino ought to release more copies if they still possess the licensing for it. Just saying...

Goodness, the prices being quoted for this - a mainstream release from a major reissue label - are extraordinary and ridiculous. £350.00 upwards for what amounts to a 10-CD compilation of highlights, is exploitable and unnecessary. At these prices, one would expect the other twenty-eight CDs (from the mammoth Rhino set) to be included!

Sha Na F-ing Na but NO Hendrix = POINTLESS word

I am very pleased with my copy. I made CD-R copies of the audio discs and with the Sh-Na-Na set, I was able to studio recordings of the missing songs and insert them at the right spot. With the Hendrix set, I was able to find the missing songs from less-than-perfect sources and insert them at the right places, so basically, I have the "complete" show, or whatever was recorded. I paid the original price by pe-ordering, as this box sold out before the release date.
I wish Warner Records Group/ Rhino would make yet another edition - just all the discs and a booklet with all the music credits, no essays or other reproduction "goodies" at a lower price. I was a 14-year-old teenager at the time of this 1969 festival and reading about it at the time sure impacted my life in a positive manner.

what’s next? the 350xLP definitive collection? for the low, low price of $9900.99. i’d have to think about it.
