Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring '
Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music: Ultimate Collector's Edition' to Blu-ray on July 28th, 2009, day-and-date with the DVD. The release will feature the four-hour Director's Cut of the film which has been remastered from the original film elements and scanned at 2K resolution.
A new 5.1 audio mix has been developed under the supervision of film director Michael Wadleigh. Audio mixing of the newly found footage is being overseen by the concert's original chief engineer Eddie Kramer. If none of that makes sense to you, it means that Warner is ensuring that this historic concert Blu-ray have the most accurate soundtrack possible.
Extras announced for this release filmmaker commentary, replicas of handwritten notes from Festival attendees, the 40-minute documentary "The '60s and the Woodstock Generation", studio archive letters, and other souvenir collectible items.
