Albums in Woodstock 1969
Description
"Three days of peace and music" was Woodstock's original slogan, but the event will forever remain remembered primarily as a cultural milestone that defined the spirit of the 1960s. The festival welcomed a diverse lineup that included folk artists like Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie and Richie Havens, blues rockers like Canned Heat, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Johnny Winter, psychedelic folk-rockers the Grateful Dead, funk forefathers Sly and the Family Stone, '50s revivalists Sha Na Na and sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar. Artists like Jimi Hendrix, the Who, Janis Joplin and Carlos Santana gave memorable performances that were among the finest of their careers. While the images of nudity, drugs and free love at Woodstock became outdated clichés years ago, the music and its messages live on.
