Cancelled Acts
1. Jeff Beck Group (The band broke up in July, forcing their cancellation)
2. Iron Butterfly (Were stuck at an airport, their manager demanded helicopters and special arrangements just for the group.
The manager was wired back and told, as impolitely as Western Union would allow, "to get lost".
3. It's a Beautiful Day (dismissed)
---------------------------------------------
Acts without music
1. "The Joshua Light Show" were at Woodstock but were a light show rather than a band so no track listing
2. "Swami Satchidananda" was at Woodstock but was an Indian guru, so no track listing
3. "The Big Storm" was at Woodstock but was a weather condition not a band, so no track listing
4. "Max Yasgur" had to be at Woodstock, it was his farmland, no track listing
5. "Abbie Hoffmann" was on stage if only for a short time ;)
---------------------------------------------
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair
--------------------------------
Although officially listed as a three day event and tickets sold appropriately, it was in fact held over four days, from 5.07pm on Friday August 15th 1969 until 10.30am on Monday August 18th 1969.
The above set listings is as accurate as I can possibly get it with each artist assigned to the logical (or as logical as makes sense) dating. I have arranged each artist into the day they actually started playing. So, any artist that began playing at midnight or after has been assigned to the following days set listing, with the exception of
Arlo Guthrie and Joan Baez, who started performing after midnight (Saturday morning)
but were the last acts for 8 hours.
You will notice that in the official set listings (below) Joe Cocker began day three. However if you look at my set listing (above), Jefferson Airplane and a few other artists played the same day but in the morning rather than the afternoon, where's the logic?
