It was a day of peace, love and happiness when the movie Woodstock premiered in London on April 8, 1970. The four plus hour movie was filmed during the three-day music festival that had taken place in Woodstock, New York the previous summer.
One of the biggest events in music history, the movie showcased not only many of the stars who performed during the show, but also included interviews with audience members. If you ever have the opportunity, watch this amazing movie that honestly shows what it was like to experience Woodstock.
