This documentary in a vibrant attitude of youth and rebellion and it also brings together super groups and artists such as The Who, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Ten Years After, Jefferson Airplane, and many more over a three-day period of drugs, rain, peace and love. This film starts with the concert's conception and the first foundations laid to its finish and its inevitable dismantling.
