Woodstock 94 is a two-disc set documenting the Woodstock 1994 festival. It was released during November 1994, nearly three months after the event took place. The album was released on A&M Records.

The set features 27 performing artists, one song per artist. It also features the recording of both general stage announcements and some band introductions given at various points during the festival.

Red Hot Chili Peppers's performance of "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" was nominated for the Best Hard Rock Performance, but lost to Pearl Jam's "Spin the Black Circle". Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and Nine Inch Nails's "Happiness in Slavery" were both nominated for the Best Metal Performance, with the latter winning.

The album was certified Platinum by the Music Canada in 1994 and the Recording Industry Association of America in 1995. The DVD version was also certified Platinum.
