Woodstock

Baron Wolman is more than a great photographer with his own vision. Baron is a journalist capturing the history of America with honesty, sensitivity, intellect and respect for his subjects.Woodstock is the pinnacle event of a generation coming together to have their voices heard. And Baron captures so poetically in his photographs the hopes and spirit of that generation.This book will be a great gift for the holidays. I cannot imagine a better coffee table book for friends and family. A whole generation and in fact a newer generation will want it.Amazing how one 3-day event could create such a library of thought provoking and heart-warming images that capture the soul of a generation.Although Baron is famous and revered by the musicians he photographed throughout his career, this collection adds greatly to his already stellar legacy. These are not just famous musicians we see at this historic event but you and I, our brothers and sisters, our friends, whom he has immortalized with great care and tenderness, so different from his past books.On a personal level, while looking through this book last night in bed with my wife, my 11 year old son came into our room, saw the book we were perusing, and climbed into the bed with us. He knew we had just received it that day from Amazon. My son has an excellent grasp of music and American history. I was halfway through the book when he slid next to me, became enraptured with the photos, asking questions about Woodstock, it’s history, its importance and then insisted we start from the beginning of the book. Over an hour later we were still going through “Woodstock,” looking and talking about the photos, reading the text, and the conversations it provoked.If you know someone who has a love of music, a love of history and or a love of art, they will thank you for gifting them this book.

Gift for my son. He loves this book, it has great photos and lots of stories and info, he has really enjoyed it. His daddy and I were young and had been married 4 years when this took place and I remember hearing about it on the news and in the newspaper but we weren't interested in that type of thing and we were in Texas far away from where this took place. My son who was 3 yrs old when Woodstock took place and is very interested in it.

Baron Wolman's, Chief Photographer for The Rolling Stones magazine document of " Woodstock" a 3 day concert is great and he focused on the story of the people who came. Others documented the music on the stage, but Baron realized that the real story was two fold- the journey, the event and the significance it would hold for a generation of Americans. This would make a super gift for anyone who attended this event, was alive during the late 60's or those who want to see history of American culture.

I don't know why this book left me cold- perhaps it's overkill- I'm seen a lot of books on the subject, or they are basically all about the same. Anyway, if you haven't read a lot of books on Woodstock I can definitely recommend this one. Great black and white pix with an equally good text.

I have always been fascinated with Woodstock, the music, the many stories/dramas from the event. This book contains many great photos that seems to effectively capture the essense of the weekend's events. I am pleased with my purchase of this book.

Bought this as a birthday present for a friend who loves would start and she was absolutely thrilled it's a beautiful coffee table book and a must have for any Woodstock fan!

Book is full of nice photos. Worth the price for the "walk down memory lane".

A very good photography book, with another look through one of the great rock festivals that ever happened.

Absolutely fascinating book, beautiful photos. Love it.

A good book for browsing and re-living the days from my early teenage years.

A mon âge avancé, ça ne me gène pas de l'avouer.Je collectionne les bouquins sur Woodstock depuis 1969 et celui-ci ( en anglais ) a l'immense mérite de se lire facilement et surtout d'offrir des photos rarement publiées.Il s'adresse surtout aux véritables amateurs, les photos n'ayant pas de légendes et les néophytes auront peut être un peu de mal a reconnaitre les personnes sur les clichés.Clichés fantastiques ou tout le monde est tellement beaux et ou les visages laissent voir bonheur, joie et sérénité.Et ce n'est pas forcément du a des produits stupéfiants, je vous vois venir.Ce livre est un beau livre avec une couverture épaisse, un beau papier et une bonne qualité de photos.Une sur couverture protègera le livre des mains grassouillettes et irrespectueuses des lecteurs occasionnels.Je m'en moque un peu car je ne leur prêterai pas !
