Re: Woodstock

    This might be a bit old but I've just de-thawed from Ice Storm '98...

    For the Woodstock's 25th anniversary in '94 there was a new video
release composed of unseen footage. The Who are on it doing "My Generation"
with the "Higher/Naked Eye" segue. Pete's guitar theatrics are included
again but this time all the shots are from different angles. Try and check
it out! Also, in case anyone doesn't know, there is a widescreen version
of the original Woodstock film which provides many more shots of Moon.
    There is a b/w boot video but it's only 45 mins long. :( It was filmed
from the stage (Pete's side) and is a different source from the legit
footage. Shot on videotape and not film stock. No version would be
complete though, without the Abbie Hoffman bit (it's not on the boot).
