    On August 15, 1969 nearly 500,000 people descended on the infamous site of Woodstock to listen to 26 now-legendary artists over a three-day period. This programme, made by film-maker D A Pennebaker, takes a look at the history of this great event and includes classic performances from the likes of Santana, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker and The Who, as well as Sly and the Family Stone.

    Many thanks Mossy.

    I actually had a DigiGuide paid sub last year but let it lapse this year.
    Are you able to search those listings using free services on Digiguide or
    are you using a subscriber account. I let mine lapse because I rarely used it (mind you it is a godsend when you do need it).

    OT: Don't understand people who pay for Digiguide anyways when there's perfectly good free alternatives out there.
