Woodstock Festival

People began to camp out at Woodstock starting on the 13th. As the date got closer, traffic jams reduced the interstate to a standstill.

Richie Havens was begged to play the opening spot of Woodstock after the band that was scheduled, Sweetwater, did not arrive.

Ravi Shankar stands out from the other musicians because he is a traditional Indian musician, which is not what one would expect from a pop festival. He taught The Beatles' George Harrison to play the sitar, a traditional Indian instrument.

Joan Baez provided a more relaxing end to the day, wishing everyone a "good morning" before beginning her performance. After her performance, it began to rain heavily.

Santana was largely unknown coming to the festival, but his performance turned out to be a success and one of the more memorable moments of the festival.

The Grateful Dead's performance was riddled with complications, flooding and malfunctions with equipment caused the performance to be choppy.

Jefferson Airplane was one of the biggest bands on the San Francisco music scene, and had gained stardom at the Monterey Pop Festival in California.
