Easy Rider Soundtrack

Easy Rider is the soundtrack to the cult classic 1969 film Easy Rider, a film often remembered for its epic late 1960's rock music.

The Historical & Collector Value of these live recordings more than compensates for any limitations which originate from the analogue master. Every effort has been made, with the help of modern technology, to obtain the best possible results. Recorded live at Woodstock Festival, 1969.

Hands down, this epochal concert at New York's Madison Square Garden – first issued on three LPs in a handsome orange-colored box – was the crowning event of George Harrison's public life, a gesture of great goodwill that captured the moment in history and, not incidentally, produced some rousing music as a permanent legacy.

Wow, but, this is a great movie! With an excellent topic: Two young rebels and… traffickers, running on their motorcycles in the middle to "The Flowers Era." With good performances, great actors: Nicholson, Fonda, Hopper and… the music! That is a separate issue, the impact of music in this film is colossal. Who has not heard "Born to be wild", with the classic sound of chopper motorcycles in film?
