Woodstock, day two.

We've already noted the commencement of the giant Woodstock music festival in 1969. This day was day two.

On this day the music opened at 12:15, and the following acts played:

Quill

Country Joe and the Fish, whose performance is well known for the Vietnam Rag.

Santana, whose performance was one of the best and whose drummer, 20 year old Michael Shrieve, was the youngest musician to preform by some accounts.

John Sebastian, who was not on the bill but actually in attendance but who was asked to play to make up for dead space by the promoters.

Keef Hartley Band

The Incredible String Band, who had refused to play due to the rain the prior day.

Canned Heat

Mountain

The Grateful Dead

Creedance Clearwater Revival  CCR later wrote Who Stopped the Rain concerning the concert.

Janis Joplin

Sly and the Family Stone, who also had one of the best performances of the event.

The Who

Jefferson Airplane, who concluded at 9:40.
