STEVENS POINT, WI (Perfect Music Today) 5\/14\/19\/– \u2013 The year was 1969. Richard Nixon was in the White House. Neil Armstrong was on the Moon. And revolution was in the air. In that backdrop, 500,000 young people gathered on a mid-August weekend in upstate New York for the promise of three days of peace and music. What they experienced at the Woodstock Music and Art Fair was something far greater.<\/p>\n

Celebrating \u201cthe greatest peaceful event in history,\u201d Woodstock 50th<\/sup> Anniversary: Back to Yasgur\u2019s Farm<\/i><\/b> (Krause Publications) offers a dazzling and compelling front-row seat to the most important concert in rock history, an implausible happening filled with trials and triumphs that defined a generation.<\/p>\n

Author and Woodstock attendee Mike Greenblatt brilliantly captures the power of music\u2019s greatest performers such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Santana and the Who, while sharing stories both personal and audacious from the crowd of a half million strong who embraced not only the music but each other.<\/p>\n

The book features a Foreword by Country Joe McDonald, whose rousing solo acoustic version of \u201cThe Fish Cheer\/I-Feel-Like-I\u2019m-Fixin\u2019-To-Die Rag\u201d was one of the most memorable performances at Woodstock. Readers will enjoy interviews with such rock icons as Graham Nash, Carlos Santana, Joe Cocker, Richie Havens, Country Joe McDonald, Edgar Winter, members of Jefferson Airplane, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Sly & The Family Stone, Canned Heat, Sha Na Na, co-host Chip Monck, fans and countless others. In addition, all 32 performances at the festival are showcased.<\/p>\n

By Mike Greenblatt<\/p>\n

Equal parts circus and surreal, Woodstock 50th<\/sup> Anniversary: Back to Yasgur\u2019s Farm<\/i><\/b> tells a transcendent tale of a musical and mythical moment in time.<\/p>\n

Advance Praise for Woodstock 50th<\/sup> Anniversary<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cStraight from a long-haired hippie who experienced all that Woodstock had to offer \u2014 the beauty, the mud, the music and the cultural eccentricities \u2014 Mike Greenblatt has carried Woodstock deep within his soul ever since. Fifty years later, he writes with charming alacrity about that weekend, his memory on fire, lighting up the personal details of what occurred at this once-in-a-lifetime communal concert event.<\/p>\n

Pat Prince, editor, Goldmine <\/i>magazine<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>\u201cMike Greenblatt\u2019s long-awaited debut book on Woodstock\u2014 filled with his own hilarious memories and impressive interviews and research\u2014 is fascinating and dazzling. It\u2019s definitely the definitive book on the wild festival fifty years ago that rocked America.\u201d<\/p>\n

A<\/b>bout The Author<\/b><\/p>\n

All Mike Greenblatt has done in life is listen to music and tell people about it, be it as a New York City publicist, editor or freelance journalist. It\u2019s been five decades of chronicling rock \u2019n\u2019 roll in all of its permutations. Whether sitting front row at Woodstock, flying with Hank Williams, Jr. in his private jet, driving around the Jersey Shore with Bruce Springsteen, getting angrily thrown against a backstage wall by Meat Loaf, or being locked in a dressing room with Jerry Lee Lewis threatening to kill him, Greenblatt\u2019s voice has sung the praises of rock loud and long.<\/p>\n

Greenblatt has interviewed Elton John, the Eagles (where he extemporaneously interviewed Joe Walsh at side-by-side urinals deep within the bowels of Giants Stadium), Paul McCartney, Blondie, The Allman Brothers, Waylon Jennings and hundreds of others. He lives in Easton, Penn., with his music-teacher wife and their two rescue beagles.<\/p>\n
