Woodstock 40 Years On: Back to Yasgur's Farm is a six-CD livebox-setalbum of the 1969Woodstock Festival inBethel, New York. Its release marked the 40th Anniversary of the festival.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

At the time of release,Woodstock 40 Years On was the most complete collection ever released of the festival, until the50th Anniversary box set in 2019. All the artists who performed at Woodstock are featured on the album, except forTen Years After,The Band, and theKeef Hartley Band.

After reviewing all the multi-track tapes from Woodstock, co-producerAndy Zax selected the best songs from each of the performances, plus stage announcements, set banter, the sounds of rain, andMax Yasgur's address to the crowd.

Over the years, many of the Woodstock albums have featured "doctored" recordings in which mistakes, feedback, and bad miking were either edited or re-recorded. This set features the recordings as close to the original versions as possible in order to simulate actually being at the festival. Also for the first time, the complete and accurate set lists are included in the booklet.
