Mного се е изписало за значимостта на фестивала за музика и изкуство Woodstock като културно събитие. По ирония, нещото, на което досега е обърнато най-малко внимание, е това, което е събирало на едно място почти милион души през 1969 г., а именно – музиката. По повод отбелязването на 40-годишнината на Woodstock, Warner представя Woodstock 40 – колекция от 6 CD-та с общо 77 песни, подредени по хронологичен ред на изпълняване, от които 38 неразпространявани досега записа, включващи изпълнители като Greatful Dead, The Who, Tim Hardin, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe & The Fish и други.
За да събере най-значимите събития около митичния уикенд, копродуцентът на Woodstock 40, Andy Zax преглежда всеки сантиметър от лентата, търсейки най-силните моменти на всеки от 33-те концерта. „Начинa, по който подхождахме към всеки материал, беше все едно правехме документален филм в стил cinèma vèritè” (суровият запис от събитието), казва Zax. В допълнение към музиката set-ът включва значително количество разнообрази документални материали, включени към дисковете.
Друга значима допълнителна екстра към Woodstock 40 е това, че въз основа на големината и строгата хронологична последователност на колекцията, тя се доближава най-много до емоцията на изпълненията от всяка друга компилация досега. За първи път завършените и точни концертни списъци ще бъдат на разположение в книжката, включена към box set-а. Някои привърженици на Woodstock ще бъдат изненадани от действителната последователност на изпълненията; тя се различава както от различните писмени разкази, така и от филма на Michael Wadleigh – Woodstock, който си позволява волности в хронологично отношение, с цел да запази разказвателния подход.
В допълнение към box set-а, Warner също така ще преиздаде вече отдавна неразпространяваните на музикалния пазар Music From The Original Soundtrack And More: Woodstock и Woodstock Two на 2-ри юни – по едно и също време с преиздадения от Warner Home Video документален филм Woodstock. Първоначално излязъл през 1970 г. Music From The Original Soundtrack And More: Woodstock оглавява класацията на Billboard за поп албум за четири седмици, а също така е и в топ 20 за R&B албум.
След като оглавява класациите, мултиплатиненият успех на оригиналния саундтрак Woodstock Two през 1971 носи в себе си още повече мир и музика. Той завладява слуха с 16 допълнителни изпълнения.
