another "feature"... each day is its own Playlist, and each song link plays within its respective day's Playlist.

I actually can't stand a lot of the music at woodstock, but this is easily one of the most interesting post formats I've ever seen, and the use of playlists is quite clever. Very, very cool.

Damn you, pruner!!! I was gathering these very same links to eventually make almost this exact same post (though I would not have thought of the musical notes - that was an added nice touch), but you beat me to it. /me stands with hat off to pruner (and peace/victory sign held aloft).

Sorry psmealey. FWIW, I've had the links gathered for more than a week, but I didn't get around around to organizing and formatting everything until today. I'm not some fly-by-night operator.

All of the characters came up as question marks in my RSS reader, and I clicked through ready to flag it as an HTML/display error. I stand friggin' corrected. Great post.

:) Your post made me smile. I was 4 when Woodstock happened, so it's not like I remember it. But oh my do I remember the reverberations of it throughout the rest of my childhood. Yep, Sha-Na-Na. I hate self-indulgently cute posts, but I love what you've done here. Good stuff. It was pulled off about as well as one might pull it off. I agree. Good stuff.

What exactly is Pete Townshend saying here (about a minute in) after Abbie Hoffman interrupts him? "The next fuck that runs up on the fucking stage is gonna get fucking killed"?

Closest I came -- I saw Canned Heat a couple years after that. Man, but my boys could play!

Closest I came -- I saw Canned Heat a couple years after that. Man, but my boys could play! That was one of my favorite parts of the movie version. The did play their asses off to the degree that I was shocked to barely know who they were. I also loved how ordinary (too fat, too skinny, too homely and too dishevelled they looked). I don't think you'll ever see a band like that again.

Grace Slick's singing White Rabbit still kicks ass, especially considering the circumstances. Great post!

What's the key to the cipher in which 'y2karl' = 'pruner'? I just can't figure it out! Favorited, nonetheless.

circumstances? It looks like she can barely hear herself sing, which I think is why she keeps grabbing her ear. A singer as accomplished as she would never do that during a live performance unless the monitoring was terrible.

I didn't know that any footage of the Dead's performance survived. Probably much to their chagrin.

I didn't know that any footage of the Dead's performance survived. Probably much to their chagrin. Yeah... Though I'm a marginal Dead fan, St. Stephen is probably my favorite song of theirs. Not an inspired performance of it at Woodstock.

some of you Jefferson Airplane/Grace Slick fans might be interested in this video of them playing on a NYC rooftop in 1968... that's one year before The Beatles' Apple rooftop concert.
