The original Woodstock was amazing. A truly great event caught on video that captures the true nature of the hippe/music scene around the time. Either Santana or Canned Heat are my favorite performance.

^ Agreed.
And I also agree with Flower Child in that all the modern imitations of it/ hollywood renditions ruin the original concept and footage that was captured. Woodstock makes me wish I grew up in the '60s. |

^Everything in the 60's makes me wish i lived then.
there's two of my favorites separated for the 3 nights ... Friday: Joan Baez Ravi Shankar Saturday: Janis Joplin Jefferson Airplane Sunday: Jimi Hendrix [I'm gonna count that one double] really hard to choose

VH1 Classic had the woodstock movie on last night. I watched a bit of it. Ritchie Havens' opening performance is unreal. What a way to kick it off.

Sly & The Family Stone & The Who pretty much nailed it.
I don't know why people think Hendrix was so great, he was awful that night. It was his first ever live show with the Band Of Gypsys & they were woefully under-rehearsed & it shows in their set. Compare that to his sets at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 or the Isle Of Wight festival in 1970 where he smoked out the entire bill and you'll see just how lackluster his Woodstock set actually was.

i thought the 20 minute version of 'red house' (at least it felt that way) from the isle of wight festival was hendrix's lowest recorded point. even though it was rough the woodstock performance still showcased new ideas and sounds, he comes off as refreshed and revitalized to my ears. |

the US is not the center of the world.

If that was a bad Hendrix performance that it's no wonder he's considered the greatest guitarist ever.
