Woodstock is the best-known and most significant music festival in U.S. history. Although suffering from inclement weather and a series of logistical challenges, the musical performances were largely quite wonderful and the event lived up to its billing as 3 days of peace and music. Many of the musical performances were immortalized in the successful 1970 Michael Wadleigh film, which helped cement the festival as one of the cultural high spots of the 1960's. Performers included: Sly and the Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane, Joan Baez, Canned Heat, John Sebastian, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Richie Havens, Janis Joplin, The Who, Blood Sweat & Tears, The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Grateful Dead, Santana, Joe Cocker, Ten Years After, Johnny Winter, Arlo Guthrie, Country Joe & the Fish, and Jimi Hendrix. An iconic piece of 1960's counterculture ephemera. Near Fine. Item #000012998
