Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 1969-08-17 - Woodstock (SBD)

It was billed as an Aquarian Exposition (this is the dawning of the age of Aquarius), as 3 days of Peace and Music. It became 4 days of Peace, Music and Mud and closed the NY Thruway. As the song says, by the time “we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong, and everywhere was a song and a celebration”. The anti-war, hippie, flower power, anti-establishment counter cultural revolution that was brewing among the youth of America was on full display at Yasgur’s Farm. More than anything, it was the moment that defined a generation, and continues to resonate with people over 40 years later. Michael Lang, one of the four young men who produced the festival, once said "That's what means the most to me – the connection to one another felt by all of us who worked on the festival, all those who came to it, and the millions who couldn't be there but were touched by it." The festival also featured just the 2nd concert by of one of the first super groups in rock, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (the other candidate for the title of first super group was Blind Faith, who debuted just a little bit earlier in 1969). This soundboard captures CSNY’s set on August 17, 1969, 48 years ago today, at the most legendary festival in rock history.
