About this product

Product Information

The perfect gift for music fans and anyone fascianated by Woodstock, Barefoot in Babylon is an in-depth look at the making of 1969's Woodstock Music Festival--one of Rolling Stone 's "50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll." "Mr. Spitz feeds us every riveting detail of the chaos that underscored the festival. It makes for some out-a-sight reading, man."-- The New York Times Book Review Fifty years ago, the Woodstock Music Festival defined a generation. Yet, there was much more than peace and love driving that long weekend the summer of 1969. In Barefoot in Babylon, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Bob Spitz gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Woodstock, from its inception and the incredible musicians that performed to its scandals and the darker side of the peace movement. With a new introduction, as well as maps, set lists, and a breakdown of all the personalities involved, Barefoot in Babylon is a must-read for anyone who was there--or wishes they were.

Reviews
Praise for Barefoot in Babylon : "[Takes] the lid off that mammoth rock concert and reveal[s] the astonishing antics the promoters performed, commercially and personally, to get the Thing off the ground...Mr. Spitz feeds us every riveting detail." New York Times Book Review "An important, impressive work." -Timothy White, former associate editor, Rolling Stone "Reveals the gritty and sometimes greedy realities." -Tim O'Brien "Goes further toward explaining the counterculture, in all its contradictions and ironies, than many another valiant attempt at social commentary...A novelistic structure and a tough, spicy style... Evident too are the beauty, the magic, the gentle spirit and selfless devotion that Woodstock has come to symbolize for many people." Baltimore News American "It happens that behind the legendary concert was a string of events no less amazing... An important, impressive work...Reads like an adventure." Timothy White, former associate editor, Rolling Stone "Tough, well-documented... Reveals the gritty and sometimes greedy realities behind the Woodstock Music Festival...Provoking, exciting, and full of the kind of truth that is so sorely needed about an event which has become a part of American folklore." Tim O'Brien

The truth about Woodstock
I worked for the Woodstock Festival in NYC and I was one of the many thousands in the audience. Bob Spitz is an icredible writer, leaving no important stone unturned. His book is riveting and it's as close to the truth as one could put on paper. Yes, some would disagree, some would even say, the weather was fine. Woodstock was not just a political hippie statement but an endurance test of the reality of life to the many who attended this experience.
