JACK HANLEY, with whom he recently reminisced about WOODSTOCK – at JACK’S – AUGUST 6th – NYC gallery opening, [see below for link] – agreed – that past films on the gathering – had downplayed the mud. the new documentary – seems – “to get that aspect – right.” *
* he continues .. “though I fell asleep, after partying non-stop for 3 days !! – during THE WHO – I caught all the big acts – incl SANTANA, who were totally new to me. being a hard-core music fanatic even then – I had caught the rest of the acts – the month previously – at the legendary, but not as well known, ATLANTIC CITY POP FESTIVAL. *
