Richie Havens opened Woodstock at 5:07 p.m. on Friday evening, and because many of the other musicians were stuck in traffic, he was on stage for a while and claimed he’d played every song he knew. That came out to 11 songs total, including “From The Prison,” “With A Little Help From My Friends,” and “High Flying Bird." “One of my strongest memorie...

Her setlist was 14 songs total, featuring “Oh! Happy Day,” “I Shall Be Released,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” and “We Shall Overcome.” “Oh, I had a lovely time...

Other songs on the set list included “Waiting,” “You Just Don’t Care,” “Evil Ways,” and “Persuasion." “We were different—and I mean this in a soulful, g...

They played from 10:30 p.m. to midnight on the second day, but their entire performance was filled with technical difficulties. Rain flooded the stage (which put them in danger of electric shock), their heavy equipmen...
Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Woodstock performance began at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, August 17, and the band played for about 50 minutes. Although their set was on the shorter side (they were delayed because of the Grateful Dead), they managed to squeeze in 11 songs including “Born On The Bayou,” “Proud Mary,” and “Suzy Q.” “I come running out, and ...
Woodstock was one of Janis Joplin’s early performances after breaking free of her band, Big Brother & The Holding Company.

Although The Who was scheduled for Saturday, they didn’t end up taking the stage until Sunday at 5 a.m. They played their famous rock opera album Tommy, and by the time they got to the album’s finale, the sun was rising. “Looking out unto the predawn gloom of Woodstock, making out the vague shape of half a million mud-caked people as the lights swe...
Hailing from San Francisco, the psychedelic/bluesy group Jefferson Airplane was scheduled for Saturday but didn’t perform until Sunday at 8 a.m. They played 13 songs, including “Somebody To Love,” “White Rabbit,” and “The Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil." “Woodstock was a lot of fun,” singer Marty Balin recalled. “It was a muddy mess at times. I remem...
Joe Cocker went on stage at 2 p.m. on Sunday, and Woodstock was a pivotal moment in his career. His cover of “With A Little Help From My Friends” was a crowd-pleaser in particular, and shortly after he finished performing, the festival was hit with a thunderstorm that led to a two-hour delay. “Were we epic? I dunno. We got some nice footage for mem...
