EIGHT MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT, I HAD A DREAM. I WAS ON A STAGE LOOKING OUT AT A SEA OF PEOPLE, AND I KNEW THAT WAS COMING. I DIDN'T HAVE THE SPECIFICS OF IT, BUT I HAD THE END RESULTS. I JUST FOLLOWED THAT. Michael Lang

GETTING INTO THE CONCERT WAS TRAUMATIC. WE WERE BEING TRANSPORTED IN A HELICOPTER, THE TAIL ROTOR STOPPED OPERATING AND THE PILOT HAD TO SLAM THE MACHINE INTO THE GROUND... WELCOME TO WOODSTOCK. GRAHAM NASH
WOODSTOCK EXPERIENCE presents many hundreds of photographs reproduced with the unmistakable quality and finishing that readers have come to expect from Genesis Publications.
Of the photographers represented, Henry Diltz, was Woodstock's only official photographer. No photographer was afforded the same level of access as Henry or possesses the unmatched archive that is made open to subscribers of WOODSTOCK EXPERIENCE.
Dan Garson's photography is completely unseen and has been held by his family since his passing. Friends were forever amazed at Dan's startling photography and his story. Always a lover of cameras, by the time he was asked to cover Woodstock for his high-school magazine, Dan had spent many hours honing his talents. His efforts were rewarded with full press accreditation and the exciting opportunity was not wasted. Photographing among the crowd and from 'the pit' at the front of stage, Dan Garson was one of the few photographers who left late on Monday. Few captured Hendrix's blistering performance of 'The Star-Spangled Banner'. Dan Garson was there until the end, taking remarkable pictures seen here for the first time 40 years on.
PEOPLE MAY NOT REALISE SOMETHING ACTUALLY DID HAPPEN, BEYOND A MUSIC CONCERT. IT WAS A SOCIAL PHENOMENON. IT WAS PEOPLE DRIVING IN FROM ALMOST EVERY STATE IN THE UNION, COMING TOGETHER IN A FIELD WITH MUSICIANS - DISCOVERY TIME. RICHIE HAVENS
