Synopsis
In this entertaining read, the man who organized the first Woodstock festival in August 1969 shares his tale of the trials and tribulations, adventures and entrepreneurial innovations that launched the most famous of all music festivals, one that caused countless cultural ripples across political and musical fronts. Michael Lang grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and aside from one one-off festival he produced in Miami, had virtually zero event-planning experience. But he found a man with some land who was willing to rent it to him for $50,000, went about booking big names and unknown acts, and even devised a "peace-keeping force." Lang buoys his first-person account with interviews from other attendees and participants to make this a unique and many-sided view of an important cultural event.

Industry Reviews
"Totally rocking....Well-written, informative and tons of fun...."
(06/15/2009)

"The day-to-day details of the setup prompt a certain amount of suspense, even though we know how everything turns out. Most touching are the stories of local folks who came through with food and supplies for the badly underprepared site....That kind of humanity helps make Lang's book more than just nuts and bolts."
(07/02/2009)

"Essential, however partial, for assigning credit and blame for Woodstock."
(07/01/2009)

"[A]n adrenaline-rush account of the weekend itself and the activity behind the scenes...."
(07/19/2009)

"Michael Lang...and Fornatale...have each written a book about the festival...Fornatale [BACK TO THE GARDEN] focuses a little more on the music....Lang...has much more detail about how the whole production was put together and kept running. He is the more authoritative author; although Fornatale's writing is a bit livelier."
