Think Woodstock and the mind turns to the seminal 1969 festival
that crowned a seismic decade of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. But
the town of Woodstock, New York, the original planned venue of the
concert, is located over 60 miles from the site to which the fabled
half a million flocked. Long before the landmark music festival
usurped the name, Woodstock--the tiny Catskills town where Bob
Dylan holed up after his infamous 1966 motorcycle accident--was
already a key location in the '60s rock landscape. Drawing on
numerous first-hand interviews with the remaining key players in
the scene--and on the period when he lived there himself in the
1990s--Hoskyns has produced an East Coast companion to his
bestselling L.A. canyon classic Hotel California. This is a richly
absorbing study of a vital music scene in a revolutionary time and
place.
