I don't know if they will show it again. There was a screw up and they don't even have it listed correctly on my DVR...in fact it wasn't listed at all. It said, "The Seventies" for their rerun of their music series and I DID want to see it. PBS also messed up their listing of Woodstock on American Experience...it was listed as Finding Your Roots and recorded only half of it. I don't know if the problem is with my cable co. or not (COX).

... on WDST in ... Woodstock, NY, where this exchange has been heard on the streets on a regular basis for the last 50 years:

Q: So where was the festival?
A: Not here.

Some interesting stuff has been unearthed for this collection, like the previously unavailable Incredible String Band performance, among others. But I found it very odd to hear several stage announcements during Mountain's performance of "Theme from an Imaginary Western." Was this a broadcast glitch, or did that actually happen? "Not cool, man ..."

I was there. This captured more for me than the original movie, but they go well together. Watched it on Netflix
