Thread Name: Woodstock songs
Subject: RE: Woodstock songs
There was a second album and a second movie (I think?) with more performances but the audio quality sucked, from what I can remember.


And Sheila - sorry but you were Gargoyled. That's a lot of what Gargoyle does around here. It is an odd part of the Mudcat, but a small one.


One of the most interesting things that happened that weekend, but not at Woodstock, was that Joni Mitchell wrote the song Woodstock. Crosby, Stills & Nash decided that flying into the event on helicopter and performing would have been too dangerous for Mitchell and besides, she had a spot on the Dick Cavett show later on. They were afraid she might not get out of Woodstock in time and miss her first national TV appearance, so she didn't go. But reading and watching the news inspired her to write Woodstock and perform it for the first time on Cavett's show.
