Amazing! What is your favourite performance of the festival?
Let us also remember Melanie Safka who performed in the rain at Woodstock. Her song "Lay It Down" is a tribute to Woodstock.
Yes...she was great and the song was and still is a groovy tribute to WOODSTOCK... So many paid tribute to WOODSTOCK, canned heat, and yes CSNY... I love reading the responses to this great and Groovy days of LOVE...MUSIC...AND PEACE..frim everyone who had been there and the bands they really liked, Me I liked them all, and some were ones that I can still hear when I close my eyes, only got a little sleep, but I didn't want to miss anything, or anyone...as I said in my previous posts on here...I wish I could go back in time..to these 5 days that 3 of my friends and I had the best times of our lives and to be young and still love these bands and the music 55 years later..it blows my mind...Can you dig it..!!! Peace for all...
Saw an Interview with her she seemed surprised that she got such a reception .
Richie Havens - FREEDOM! What a performance.
WHAT A SONG! WHAT A SINGER🎯💯🥳
My favorite too!!
Got me listening to him !
Gone far too soon😪
I'm 73 now, had jyst turned 18 on Aug.13th, graduated from High School in June, so off 4 of us went on the 13rh, a groovy Birthday Present !! There were so many cars on the highway, we were lucky to get there Thursday and found a spot in a field to park. And walked the rest of the way. So many great moments, and the band's were great, to wake up with the Who one morning and to wake up to my Favorite..Jimi with the white fringe glistening so glad we stayed until late Monday...course it was a traffic jam leaving, but no hurry. The weather...we didn't mind..we had brought some food and water and other cool things.!! People getting aling, and didn't matter what you looked like or what you were doing, it was their own Bag Man and some joined in, some didn't. My favorite was Jimi..!! The who.was awesome, Janis so soulful with that voice, Jefferson Airplane was great, Grace had a voice that even tho the band was tired, she still sang out, I liked Ravi Shankar,too...rhe Citar was a different instrument. So unusual at a Rock festival...CCR to start out..and even tho some delays cause of the
Well I got the button before I was done...yep.. the weather delays didn't care, we just buzzed the time, went in 1 of the buses for some shelter with the Groovy People who were so into the love and Peace that we all were together for..abd Sharing.... oh to go back...the end of the 60's and beginning of the 70's, music that was new and told the stories of us all of those times...Long Live Hippies..ROCKNROLL music...love...and Peace...Right On...Can You Dig It....
@@fredajohnson3963 It was truly a greatest event of all time, even though some of the greatest, Beatles, Dylan, Stones, didn't play there then.
@@reijosalminen7502 oh I agree with you. Dylan is awesome, has been before the Beatles and Stones came on the scene. And my 1st concert was The Beatles in 1964, And love the Stones since the 60's, have seen them 6 times, just saw them in 2019..I missed their recent tour last year, I'm in Florida and they played in Tampa, but I couldn't make that one. But I am ready to see them now. Bob Dylan will be here in Florida next month. I'm trying to get tickets..those 3 are the best, and it would have been great to see them at WOODSTOCK!!!
How was sly ?
The weather, it was worth it. We all found such Groovy people to occupy our time until the next band came on.. Sly and the Family Stone, to perform in front of all of us ...millions of people some didn't know this group, Motown was what Was Happening on the Scene, and they Rocked...The Band... they all played sets that had you dancing, with the person next to you, didn't matter what time it was, some slept, passed out..and a lot of us stayed up for most of the 4 days... at least we tried to... I didn't want to miss any moment!!! We sure could have used a camera!! But the best memories are inside your mind...forever...It was Far Out Man...
The greatest performance there was Alvin Lee and Ten Years after performing "Going Home". That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
An incredible performance, by an incredible band!
No question. And Alvin Lee was only 17 at Woodstock when he played that.
He would have been the oldest looking 17 year old in history.
He was actually going on 25.
@@tph5912Alvin was 25
The youngest performer was Santana drummer Michael Shreive. Just turned 20.
my votes include Ten years After (Going Home), Santana (Soul Sacrifice) and CSNY (Suite Judy Blue Eyes)
What great memories that is. There has been and never will be another show like that. Peace, love and happiness to all!!!
Crosby, Stills and Nash "Suite Judy blue eyes" was a highlight. PS I was there.
Ten Years After's Going Home and Santana's Soul Sacrifice were better than The Airplane and Country Joe, but I have nothing against either one. The Airplane is one of my favs.
10 Years After? I think they pretty much left it all on the stage at Woodstock then went to sleep. if we dig we’ll find them on here but it’s rare. They just flattened out.
I was somewhere else when Ten Years After played, but I will never forget Santana there. I met him and Jack Cassidy with Paul Kantner at Al's Attire in SF, Paul lived upstairs, and our Cafe was across the street. I asked Jack if he remembered being picked up by a kid in a tractor thing with seats attached. He said yes, and I said, I was that kid! We shook hands and he was really nice to me. Carlos too.
Agree! The two best performances imo.
I agree with some of the other responses for me the highlight act was Alvin Lee & ten years after how he built the song up into a frenzy was magic but I also thought Santana session was terrific 😊
Although I am a massive Hendrix fan and fully agree that his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner is a masterpiece and deserves its place at number one, I do think that Santana's performance of Soul Sacrifice should be in there somewhere. Pretty much unknown at the time and reputedly on acid when they unexpectedly took the stage, they played their asses off with the very young Michael Shrieve giving a fantastic performance on drums.
Ha my grandsons name is hendrix so the beat goes on
Ha my grandsons name is hendrix
I t o t a l l y agree with you!
@@richardplume3212I named my dogs after The Mighty Who members.
Many more moment's . In Fact , Woodstock is one giant fluid moment set to the Best Music and all of us carrying on Hope , Love , and good vibrations ....on in the future to this Day
Joe Cocker was legend! Loved his music!
Everybody wasted & having a GREAT TIME... WOODSTOCK earned it's place in HISTORY!!! ✌️✌️✌️
I love watching footage of Canned Heat.
That's my pick for #1
Canned heat and Johnny Winter!
Love Canned Heat! Was hard to not to include them!
Ten Years After with the great Alvin Lee,unforgettable.
Tens Years After was great no doubt. Now what other songs were memorable by Alvin at Woodstock? What other songs outside of Woodstock is Alvin known for? I can name 100 Who songs off the top of my head.
Memories of a time in my life I miss we were kind and loving ❤️
That was before people felt apathetic about the consequences of their decisions.
@@Michael-qb1dv it was before people had true empathy,remorse,true friendship,honesty,faithful,my friends believed in God and knew there was true Evil and i liked life without social media yes i see the good but i was much happier younger and my friends and my Grandparents alive and i am very possitive and i do take responsibility for my life my choices but mean spirited people do not match with me

I was a toddler when my parents took me to Woodstock. I have little memory because i was so young but those i do have i will always cherish. I still follow the music.
Alvin Lee's" I'm Going Home".
I was there having walked in from 4-5 mile bc you couldn’t get any closer with a car it smelled ,muddy, and the best time of my life I was 19 I’m 73 now
The Who were my favorite at Woodstock '69.
And the Who said that Creedence Clearwater Revival were by far the best act at Woodstock. Gar better that Airplane.
@@johnnyneverletmedown53The Mighty Who would never say that they were the best live act at Woodstock so they had to say it was somebody else. The Who were the act to beat.
@@trajan6927 Creedence rocked bro, and the Who were in awe.
@@johnnyneverletmedown53 yes CCR and The Mighty Who rocked! 👍🇺🇸👌👋
I was 10 years old at the time but as long as you include Hendrix and Cocker on there, you're all set. Wait a minute you didn't have Santana on there please. And what a performance on the acid man.
1. Ten Years After
2. Joe Cocker.
3. Santana.
4. The Who
5. Sly & the Family Stone.
Richie Havens too … He played longer than he was to originally and he made up a song as his finale to help fill in gaps of time waiting for other acts to show up. Classic example of professionalism and class giving all and more to fans.
BEST MUSIC EVER
I live about 20 minutes away from the site. Been there many times over the years, and my daughter would go there with her friends every August that they tried to put on a concert. Never as big as the original one and the cops would shut it down. Funny thing is, every August that she went, it rained. It's really a cool place.
We all played the Albums all the time and went to see the movie many times stretching out Woodstock's importance and memory
It was all just epic to me, all of it!! Still is!
Sly best show I Ever saw
My top 3 list was 1. Hendrix, 2. Joe Cocker , 3. Crosby Stills Nash
Janis Joplin deserves a big shout out! She needed better musicians. Great soulful singer❣️ The sixties we’re a great time to grow with rock n roll!! Thank you for the fabulous video. I needed to feel those good times.
Ten years after should be in your top 5
The who? In my opinion the best performance there was the who performing “See me/feel me” when the sun was rising. Out of this word performance
It was a tough decision to omit the Who from our list and to be honest our opinions on it seem to change all the time! haha The Who feature in our video about the Top Moments of Monterey if you are interested!
ua-cam.com/video/iR7YAt5ZdWs/v-deo.html
WoodStock a Musical Spark that Ignited a WorldWide Fire-Storm of Love
Hendrix: check
Cocker: check
Santana: OOPS missed a great one
Interesting list of significant performances. I would have included Santana's "Soul Sacrifice". Apparently Santana's performance at Woodstock gave their reputation a big boost. I became a fan of the band, and saw them live 2 years later.
Ten years after , Santana , the who + csny
the album hit the country like a bomb ... we were never the same after that
I can't believe they left out Alvin Lee and 10 years after - Blue Swade shoes & I'm going home - the best of the best
VERY Well done, I always wished I was there,a major point in rock history!
Still have my tickets because it became a free concert
Wow! That's Amazing!
The Who by far had the most memorable moments, energy and songs. The Who were the giants of Woodstock. Everybody else were 1 hit wonders. The Mighty Who was already established as a giant on the stage.
Couldn't agree more mate. Greatest Live Band Ever, case closed, case re-opened, case closed once again.
Yuppppppp!
Being a bongo player Santana and those drummers have it for me.🌴😎🌴
Sly was fantastic !
Au moment du festival de Woodstock à l'été 69 ,j'avais 18 ans . Je dois admettre que c'est le plus grand et le meilleur des événements musicaux de la seconde moitié du 20e siècle. Avec des groupes, des chanteurs et chanteuses ,une ambiance bonne enfant et une sacrée organisation pour environ 500 000 personnes sur 3jours .Grandes prestations à mon avis, de Ten years after, Joe Cocker, Jimi Hendricks, des Who , de Santana, Sly and the Family Stone + quelques autres. Par contre, les prestations de Shanana, Country Joe et Crosby Still and Nash notamment, me semblent quelconque. C'est mon avis. Enfin, ce fut grandiose. 😂❤
Merci beaucoup!
I was there at age 17. Does this English accent narrator even mention Santana? Paid least, played the best and most moment. Also, Richie Havens made an impassioned and unforgettable contribution with Freedom. I had seen Country Joe and the Fish the year before at the unforgettable Newport Pop Festival in the broiling Costa Mesa summer of 1968.
Richie started the show with Handsome Johnny, a great anti-war song that really hit home. I was just getting to be draft-age and expected to be sent to Vietnam.
300 thousand? More towards 500 thousand visitors.
Evento epocale grande musica grandi gruppi rock per me due performance sopra tutti Hendrix e Santana
The Who were the best act with the best visual performance.
The Who were indeed amazing! Although they're not in this video, they do feature in our video about the top moments of the Monterey International Pop Festival!
Which we would love for you to check out!

Woodstock had some incredible moments and performances! Which is your favourite??
John Sebastian singing Younger Generation
Probably Joe Cocker or Santana.
Grace Slik ist eine großartige Sängerin
Leaving out Ten Years After and Santana?? You're not talking about the festival I saw
fan de cette periode
After Woodstock regarding Hendrix rendition of the SSB music critic Al Aronowitz of the NY post wrote- " It was the most electrifying moment of Woodstock and it was probably the single greatest moment of the sixties"
Santana, Soul Sacrifice
Top 5 performances in no particular order, Sly, Santana, Joe Cocker, Ten years After and (arguably) Richie Havens (because he opened, played every song he knew and made up a song on the spot)
Wasn't there but I think it was closer to 500 thousand in attendance.
Though the fish cheer was iconic, no argument there, but I would drop that in favor of Santana's set. And the Who's set belongs there as well. And as great as Joe Cocker was, if either Joe or Jimi has to get bumped, I guess Joe has to go. Airplane-Santana-Sly-Who-Hendrix.
Impossible to choose: EVERY act was outstanding: Sha Na Na, Canned Heat, mama mia!🤪😝
The Mighty Who were the stars of Woodstock.
"Soul Sacrifice" for me.
I agree with your selections, but WTF, only one small clip of MUSIC? For those who weren't there or haven't heard any of these bands before, just a voice explaining why the choices were made isn't going to cut it.
Imagine watching this and seeing your now-conservative grandparents in the crowd! 😂😂😂 😂
they wised up
"Lan Sakes...that brown acid!"
Some of us are still unapologetically liberal. 👍👍
More like Marxists
@@debbiewisenbaker6509
They were all superb acts to be fair.. But if I had to narrow it down to a top 5.. It would be 1..Hendrix.. 2. Jefferson 3. Joe Cocker 4.. The who.. 5.Ten years after
Haha that’s me right after he says “give me a u”
55 years ago today 2024
THE single greatest performance at this show IMO was Joe Cocker's Lets Go Get Stoned!
Woodstock wasn’t the send off of the 60s, not at all. The Stones did that at Altamont Speedway in CA, that was pathetic & sad.
I'll simply say.... If we don't return to this love, peace, and harmony... We're Fucked!!!
Country Joe and the fish! 👍
I agree that Hendrix should be #1
Actually The Who's music was better.
Logistically this event was a total disaster. Food ran out. Rain soaked everything and coated what wasn't soaked with mud, As they said, scheduling was total chaos due to the traffic situation summed up best by Arlo Guthrie crowing "The New York State Throughway is closed, man". The only way in was by helicopter. Richie Havens opened the show because it was time to start and none of the scheduled opening act had arrived. Richie played for over three hours, running out of songs that had been prepared for his set with his band most of whom weren't on scene yet. He actually tried to leave the stage a couple of times only to be told that nobody else was there yet. His finale, the song "Freedom" was a totally impromptu performance being made up on the spot. Alvin Lee referenced the transportation situation when he introduced his classic by calling it "I'm Going Home" then adding wryly "By helicopter". After the rain finally settled down, National Guard helicopters flew over dropping dry clothes and supplies to help deal with the mess.
At the end of the festival, Michael Lang and his partners were thinking that they had lost their collective asses financially. Vendors, staff, and musicians all had to be paid. As the festival began, it quickly became obvious that they were being completely overwhelmed and basically quit selling and taking tickets since the fencing had disappeared very early on. This meant that the only source of income was from the pre-sale tickets. Lang even said so in the documentary when he was asked how they had done financially. He literally laughed out loud saying "Are you kidding? We're taking a bath" He quickly followed that with a gesture toward the crowd saying "But look at this. You can't buy this". DOn't feel to bad for them for that though. Once they slept for a couple of days afterward, they sat down and started looking at what they had to work with and how to market it. None of the people backing this festival is hungry today, I'll guarantee that.
With all that being said though, the spirit of Wavy Gravy and the Hog Farm in urging people to help each other ("If you're too tired to chew, pass it on") and the people in the medical tent and the "Freak Out" tent taught us that just doing what needs to be done and helping each other out will get us through a lot of crap.
If Ten Years after is not on this list, then this list is bogus.
Melanie and Janis Joplin. Worth the entire muddy muck of it all.need to Mention Richi Havens. He was the only performer there on 8.13. Played a long time.
Janis Joplin and her Holding Company.
Santana...got to be in there. Since you have a bit of an English accent I don't think you know the new Patriot culture.
It's too bad we didn't get to hear these performances
I read that even though Lennon and McCartney wrote With a little help from my friends. Joe owned it! No one ever did it as good or better!
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE “WHO” ? Kick out Country Joe and install “THE WHO” ! ! The had a MUCH Better Set than Country Joe ! !
Country Joe was pivotal and was the point.
Hard to believe people wanted to kill Jimmy Hendrix for daring to play his version of star spindle banner.
The Who.
Nothing more needs to be said.
❤i love wopdstok ok😅
Woodstock was more than 400,000 people.
What about Alvin?????????????????
Yeah, no better way to enjoy music than listening to someone telling you what was played and what it sounded like, without even so much as a snippet of actual music. This list is ridiculous.
Uno de los grandes momentos de ese festival también fue la inclusión de Santana band, con el gran Carlos Santana
What a blast!💥
I’m 75 years old now. Wouldn’t change a thing.
I drove from Twin Falls, Idaho in a 1949 dodge power wagon with five friends. What a hoot. What FUN ☮️😊❤️👀
"Don't eat the brown acid."
Height of the vietnam war era
Country joe antiwar song!
you kids dont know shite there was 450,000 there at least . not 300,000.
WHO!
The who
What is woodstock,and the answer is you shoulda been there,3 days of party rocknroll and peace,alot of people dont remember cuz of the huge cloud of smoke that was present,and the brown coke,which ruined the party for some
And the Who, and Janis Joplin ?
My 5
Janis joplin
Ten years after
Jefferson airplane.
Canned heat
The band
Tim Hardin was also great.
8:33
Most say over 500 thousand people
Alvin Lee and 10 Years After and The Who much better than Country Joe and Joe Cocker. Heck Sha Na Na was better than these 2.
Just music please, not some guy talking......😢
"Greatest moments" has me puzzled. You obviously just weren't there. By today's standards, the amplification & sound systems were primitive & v. uneven & largely untested esp. with the rain forcing changes in electronics. The music recorded "live" is not what we heard. Despite the 'amphitheater', the sound was dispersed & diminished rapidly with distance. By the 2nd day the weather affected the performance & sound so much. 'Twas amazing but it was a long time & a long way to find something to drink & 'rest rooms'. Most 'melodic' groups suffered from acoustics (Melanie was a remarkable exception),.Alvin Lee & Johnny Winter were amazing, but part of it was just timing & relief in the damp & mud (It shows on the Winter video, but not Ten years After). Santana & Country Joe had the same affect; and others. At least a third of the audience had left by the time Hendrix played.
This list sucks ass. Santana’s performance was the pinnacle of the festival, hands down.
Tried to listen. Background music too annoying.
Wow what a way to make something so exciting seem so DULL. Quite the achievement. Snore.....
Prefer to hear the music.
Copyright proved difficult for this video! But in our video on the Monterey International Pop Festival there is plenty of great 60s music to enjoy!
