Notes

Garcia can be heard saying "Marijuana - Exhibit A" immediately after the Country Joe and The Fish track Rock and Soul Music. This brief moment is also included in the original Woodstock film and album.

The Woodstock Music and Art Festival was held on the August 15 to 18, 1969. The Grateful Dead played on the second day of the festival but no part of their set has appeared on the various film and audio releases associated with the festival.

This box set contains the majority of music from the first two Woodstock soundtrack albums, Woodstock and Woodstock Two, plus a substantial amount of previously unreleased material.
