Reconstructing Woodstock '69



What:
"Woodstock Music & Art Fair was a music festival, billed as "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music". It was held at Max Yasgur's 600-acre dairy farm near the hamlet of White Lake in the town of Bethel, New York, from August 15 to August 18, 1969. (...)
During the sometimes rainy weekend, thirty-two acts performed outdoors in front of 500,000 concert-goers. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most pivotal moments in popular music history and was listed among Rolling Stone's 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll. (Wikipedia)

Comments:
Everybody knows what Woodstock was. But who really knows which music had been played there? Ok, there was that morning rendition of the Star Spangled Banner by Jimi Hendrix, later rattle&hummed by U2. And Joe Cocker sang an amazing version of With a Little Help From My Friends (even if we're still not sure about what he really sang). And maybe we saw the movie. But what about all the other acts and songs? The festival as a whole? I realized how ignorant I was, so I kind of re-built the great festival on Spotify. I found the original tracklists of every concert in the nice Woodstock Wikia. I looked for them. This is the result. Where available, I chose the original Woodstock recordings. Some other songs are live (mostly from 1960s or 1970s concerts), some are recorded in studio. I found at least one song from each artist played at Bethel, but Bert Sommer and Quill. Enjoy it! And don't forget having some wild sex in the mud. :o)
