Candles in the Rain: A Woodstock Tribute

The famous Woodstock Festival (officially, Woodstock Music & Art Fair) took place from August 15 to August 18, 1969. I might be somewhat late for the 40th anniversary of the event this year, but oh, well. Better late than never, right? This playlist includes songs by pretty much every artist appearing at Woodstock, excluding the Grease Band, Quill, and the Keef Hartley Band, who were not available on Project Playlist. In several cases in this playlist, there is a song that was performed at the event (such as Canned Heat's Woodstock "unofficial anthem", "Going Up the Country"), and occasionally, there's even a song directly from the event (such as Country Joe McDonald's infamous "Fish Cheer").

Enjoy this playlist, which features artists including The Grateful Dead, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Jimi Hendrix.
