Woodstock: tre giorni di pace, amore, e musica

The two- and three-panel screen presentations seen through much of the movie were innovations born of necessity on the part of its creators and film editor Martin Scorsese. With so much footage shot and the studio's unwillingness to expand the length of the released movie's running time, it was decided that a way must be found to maximize the amount of footage that could be used. Because of the wide-screen aspect of the release, it was realized that the multi-panel format could be used most effectively to not only include as much film footage as possible, but to also have concert footage and crowd reaction shots together on the same screen. The filmmakers believed it was important to show the viewing public just what a monumental event the Woodstock festival had unintentionally become. This method also allowed them to show many behind-the-scene activities that reflected all the hard work put in by the production staff and crew, another important detail that the concert's producers thought was very important for the public to see as they always had contended that without the efforts of the entire production staff, this event easily could have degenerated into a disaster.

After the closing credits of the Director's Cut, Crosby Stills & Nash are heard singing "Cost of Freedom". The visuals are of a still shot of the crowd at Woodstock, fading into a long list of names of various people, including performers who were at Woodstock, who since have passed away. The list of names ends with the following: Peace Music Ecology, Liberty Community Democracy, Alternatives Knowledge Altruism.

This is then followed by: Woodstock Generation 19**-20**. R.I.P. it up, tear it up, have a Ball.
