I think part of the reason the Boomers refuse to accept that there is “anything else” is that Warner Brothers ran Woodstock into the highest grossing documentary film ever.

It blew away competing films (a number of which are not available on home video, probably due to ownership rights).

And then there are the festivals old and new that were never professionally filmed.

I think the culture is poorly served by expecting MTV and WB’s Rolling Stoned to “cover” all events regardless of corporate band involvement.

It was Woodstock that first made the music industry REALLY realize how much money could be made off of rock and roll. Only this wasn’t so much rock as it was blues boogie with sitars and flutes.
