First printing with the full number line. Hardcover. With the dust jacket. SIGNED by Pete Fornatale on the title page. Dated. Inscribed to me. Very good plus in a very good plus dust jacket. 339 pages. On the fortieth anniversary of Woodstock, renowned New York City disc jockey Pete Fornatale brings the iconic rock concert to vivid life through original interviews with Roger Daltrey, Joan Baez, David Crosby, Richie Havens, Joe Cocker, and dozens of headliners, organizers, and fans. On Friday, August 15, 1969, a crowd of 400,000 - an unprecedented and unexpected number at the time - gathered on Max Yasgur's farm in upstate New York for a weekend of rock 'n' roll, the new form of American music that had emerged only a decade earlier. For America's counterculture youth, Woodstock became a symbol of more than just sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll - it was about peace, love and a new way of living. It was a seminal event that epitomized the ways that the culture, the country, and the core values of an entire generation were shifting. On one glorious weekend, this generation found its voice through one outlet: music. Back to the Garden celebrates the music and the spirit of Woodstock through the words of some of the era's biggest musical stars, as well as those who participated in the festival. From Richie Havens's legendary opening act to the Who's violent performance, from the Grateful Dead's jam to Jefferson Airplane's wake-up call, culminating in Jimi Hendrix's career-defining moment, Fornatale brings new stories to light and sets the record straight on some common misperceptions. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, authoritative and highly entertaining, Back to the Garden is the fascinating story of three days that changed the world. The boards are clean and bright with light wear. Small scuff mark to the front board. The dust jacket is complete. Few scratches visible in the light. Internally, clean, bright and tight. SIGNED by Pete Fornatale.
