Woodstock: Music from the Original Soundtrack and More is a live album with recordings from the Woodstock Festival in 1969. The original release as a 3- LP set on the "Cotillion" label (SD 3-500) took place on May 11, 1970 . In 1994 a 2 CD set was released. A second live album with further recordings of the festival on 2 LPs came out in 1971 under the name Woodstock 2 .

Track list

In the original LP set, the first LP contained pages 1 and 6, the second LP had pages 2 and 5, and the third LP had pages 3 and 4. At the time of publication, this combination of pages was common because the current record changers are the actual ones Sequence of pages could be played with just one turn of the entire stack of plates.

For most titles, the recording is longer than the actual musical performance, due to announcements, conversations between the musicians, audience singing and the like. Therefore two running times are given: first the running time of the piece of music, then the total running time of the recording in brackets.
