The 40th anniversary of Woodstock approach - it ran from 15 to 18 August 1969. All the biggest rock stars were present with the exception of three majors: the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, who lived near the site - Led Zeppelin, The Doors et Joni Mitchell firent également partis des absents notables.
Arlo Guthrie ; Bert Sommer ; Blood, Sweat & Tears ; Canned Heat ; Country Joe and the Fish ; Country Joe McDonald ; Creedence Clearwater Revival ; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ; Grateful Dead ; Janis Joplin et le Kozmic Blues Band ; Jefferson Airplane ; Jimi Hendrix ; Joan Baez ; John Sebastian ; Johnny Winter & Edgar Winter ; Keef Hartley Band ; Melanie ; Mountain ; Paul Butterfield Blues Band ; Quill ; Ravi Shankar ; Richie Havens ; Santana ; Sha-Na-Na ; Sly & the Family Stone ; Sweetwater ; Ten Years After ; The Band ; The Incredible String Band, The Who, Tim Hardin have succeeded on a stage set up in the field of Max Yasgur, in Bethel farmer in upstate New York. We will return extensively on this event, the speakers on the film (directed by Michael Wadleigh and edited among others by Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker), etc. on the disc.
For now, a small sample: a song's opening film of the festival that launched not Richie Havens . It was very difficult thereafter to reach the sky that had stretched Woodstock. Richie Havens seems to put everything he had in him in Freedom.
