Piece Description

"What sets this show apart from other celebrations of Woodstock is that it brings to life pieces of Woodstock history that few people know." - Fred Migliore 

FM Odyssey has been going strong for 18 years and is heard weekly on 37 FM stations in the U.S. and abroad.  Host/creator/producer Fred Migliore is pleased to announce the availability of another exciting FM Odyssey event, The Woodstock 40th Anniversary program. 

Featured will be the legendary New York radio personality, Pete Fornatale.  His new book, "Back to the Garden", published by Simon and Schuster, provides incredible insight for this two-hour journey.

The show will include original interview recollections from many of the headliners who appeared at Woodstock, such as Alvin Lee (10 Years After), Richie Havens, Joe Cocker, Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian, Joan Baez, Leslie West, and Stephen Stills. 

The program also recounts the stories from the cast of characters who worked endlessly behind the scenes to put the concert together, and for those three days, overcame setback after setback to pull it off.  There are highlights from an interview an interview Fred did with Duke Devlin, the site interpreter at the Bethel Woods Museum that sits on the original Woodstock site, and of course, plenty of great music.

Learned it and felt it

I loved the details Fred and Pete wove in between the songs. The "big stars" (Santana, Joan Baez, CSN&Y etc) were covered, but also the groups that have slipped out of the headlines over the years - Thunderclap Newman, Bert Sommer, Mountain. Highlights for me were the interview with Richie Havens and the audio montage of announcements over Joni's song. I got chills at the end of "I Feel Like I'm Fixin to Die Rag". Duke Devlin was a blast too - wrapping up with his interview was icing on the cake.

Great Show - I'm listening for a 2nd time now to try and absorb it.

Woodstock Retrospective Celebration

Fred has done it again - creating a show with heart! This time brilliantly weaving together the times, the politics and the music of Woodstock. I wasn't there 40 years ago, but this show brings it all home; celebrating the party that grew into a concert, that ultimately became the Woodstock Festival. Thanks for the trip, man!

Great Memories!

This is fantastic! Great hisorical info and the music - wow! Listening to the wonderful music of that period brings back great memories of the political upheaval and changes that occured during that time period. The changes so well documented in the music. Fred Migliore's is a master of tying it all in together and putting together a masterful program of both music and information. Delightful listening!!
