The Photography

Woodstock Experience

Woodstock Experience reproduces many hundreds of photographs with the quality and finishing readers expect from Genesis. The official Woodstock archives of Henry Diltz, and a previously unseen portfolio by the late Dan Garson, are both published.

Of the photographers represented, Henry Diltz, was Woodstock's official photographer. Few were afforded the same level of access as Henry, and none possess the extensive archive published in this edition.

Rewarded with full press accreditation, photographing among the crowd and from 'the pit' at the front of stage, few captured Hendrix's blistering performance of 'The Star-Spangled Banner'. Dan Garson was there until the end, taking remarkable pictures seen here for the first time, 40 years on. Dan Garson's photography is totally unseen and has been held by his family since his passing. A photography enthusiast from a young age, Dan asked to cover Woodstock for his high-school magazine. His story having captured the imagination of the American national media, we are honoured to present his photographs for the first time. 'We're all familiar with the iconic images from Woodstock. What else could be left to see? With the discovery of an archive of photographs by a high school junior named Dan Garson, plenty.' USA Today
