REWIND BACK TO 2009: Baby boomers, here's your chance to re-live the 60s and wallow in nostalgia. For everyone else, it's an opportunity to see what all the fuss was about. The rock festival tried to change the world. And in some ways it did.

Half a million people descended on a cow paddock in up-state New York for three days of peace, love and protest. Naturally, the oldies were outraged and, just as naturally, Woodstock became a lasting symbol of the 60s revolution. And we're pleased to report that even today, the spirit of Woodstock still beats in the hearts of many an old hippie.

For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes.
