Extremes of Woodstock & Altamont
…Remembering 1969
1969 was a year of change.
For some it was the end of the road, Cream’s final album and the last concert for the original lineup of the Jimi Hendrix Experience…
Other people were finding fame, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, The Allman Brothers…
There were new music genres, heavy metal, British folk rock, jazz-rock fusion…
And, of course, the most famous festival of them all – Woodstock.
But, the year ended on a sour note with the ill-fated Altamont festival. Often referred to as the spiritual end of the 1960s.

Rock’n’Roll Unravelled – THE BOOK
Derek Shelmerdine, author of Rock’n’Roll Unravelled.
With its unique three-part format
Timeline + What Happened Today? + Pocket Histories
Rock’n’Roll Unravelled tells the story of rock’n’roll from its roots to mid-1970s punk.
Not just the story of the music but also the social events which shaped it. The Vietnam War, Civil Rights struggle and so many other factors because they had such an influence on the music of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.
Record Collector magazine review
“Shelmerdine has made a painstaking effort to document pretty much every event that would prove significant in shaping popular music … a comprehensive guide… invaluable.”
