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.

      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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    I was in Vietnam - my second tour. We got word of this while it was still going on. Bigwigs in Saigon did not want to acknowledge it, but a couple jocks on then American radio station played songs from Woodstock. They DIDNOT play Joe Cockers’ FUCK song however.

    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.
