...music itself is not very good. There were thirty-five acts at Woodstock, and there are only thirteen in this film. The choices made here remain inexplicable, hence you should go prepared to be bored. A few of the heavies: Joan Baez, Richic Havens, Santana, Sebastian, Joe Cocker, Ten Years After. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, each set more intolerably mediocre than the last and if you start with Baez doing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," you can imagine where that takes you. Where are the Airplane, or the Dead, or even the Band...
...give the exhilarating sensation of total immersion in sound. Joe Cocker gives a gutsy, driving interpretation of the Beatles' With a Little Help from My Friends. Performing part of the rock opera Tommy, Peter Townshend of The Who tames his guitar like some wild electronic animal, while Santana makes the theater seats vibrate, and Alvin Lee of Ten Years After comes close to tearing down the movie screen. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young sound slightly out of tune ("It's only our second gig," says Crosby, explaining the group's nervousness to the assembled 500,000) but Arlo...
...begin with, the four-month-long elimination rounds were riddled with demeaning incidents. South Africa's apart heid prompted Poland and Czechoslovakia to withdraw, and the Great Britain-South Africa series was marred by riots.

The Rumanians, coached by wily Australian Harry Hopman, stirred some interest by out lasting 49 other nations to become the first Communist country to compete in the Cup finals...
First Since 1959. The busiest giant killers were a pair of bespectacled U.S. amateurs, Arthur Ashe and Clark Graebner. Ashe, ranked No. 13, polished off Okker and Australian Pro John Newcombe (No. 4); Graebner, who was unseeded, beat Aussie Pro Fred Stolle (No. 11) and Spain's Manuel Santana, who as No. 6 seed was the top-ranked amateur. Both advanced to the semifinals before losing-the first time since 1959 that two Americans had gone that...
Practice Pays. So much for history. Aiming his serves like a golfer lining up putts, Charlito blasted Santana with "the Bomb," kept him unmercifully on the run with delicate lobs and volleys, swept the first two sets 10-8, 6-3. Rain interrupted the match for 15 minutes, and the Spaniard, refreshed, took the third set 6-2. Then Pasarell dug in. He broke Santana's serve with a booming forehand in the 13th game of the fourth set and ran out the match...
