Festival ve Woodstocku, jehož první ročník se konal v roce 1969, patřil ke zlomovým okamžikům populární hudby 60. let. V průběhu tří srpnových dnů vystoupila před téměř pěti sty tisíci diváky řada hudebních ikon – Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker nebo The Who. Mottem celého festivalu se stalo heslo „Tři dny míru, hudby a porozumění“. Micheal Lang, člověk, který celý koncept festivalu vytvořil, vypráví příběh dlouhé cesty k Woodstocku. Složité přípravy, výběr místa a účinkujících, vše se neslo v atmosféře uvolněných šedesátých let. Jeho osobní zážitky doplňují vzpomínky dalších lidí, kteří se na festivalu podíleli – spolupracovníků, hudebníků i pamětníků, kteří festival ve Woodstocku zažili.
