New Woodstock DVD in the Works?

File this under "exhaustive." Allegedly, an 18-DVD set is in the works featuring more of the "Woodstock Festival of Peace Love and Flowers" than ever. The new release, tentatively titled The Motherfucking Director's Cut, is a limited edition boxed set containing all three days worth of music, interviews, nudity and mud. It clocks in at just under 72 hours, covering absolutely everything recorded on August 15th to 18th, 1969. Here are just some of the highlights:

• Max Yasgur's speech, mercifully brief in the original film, now clocks in at just over 63 minutes.
• There is so much of The Band's set that you get to witness Robbie Robertson sing an acapella version of "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter"(a rarity, to be sure).
• You get to see the Who play Tommy in its entirety twice "merely for the opportunity to beat up Abbie Hoffman for a second time," said the Who's Pete Townshend.

But the real kicker is Santana's "Soul Sacrifice," again, a true highlight in the original film. But this version is so long that you actually have to change discs to view the whole thing, as evidenced by the featured clip. Personally, even I think this release may be too much of a good thing.
