A big thank you to Artie Kornfeld for joining the show and sharing his incredible moments in music, his songwriting for many artists, his work with record labels like Capitol Records, and, of course, his unforgettable experiences at Woodstock.”
Woodstock, held from August 15th to 19th, 1969, in Bethel, NY, was more than just a music festival—it was a defining moment for a generation.
With over 400,000 attendees, Woodstock became a symbol of peace, love, and unity during a time of significant social change. As Joni Mitchell famously said, “Woodstock was a spark of beauty where half a million kids saw that they were part of a greater organism.” Similarly, Carlos Santana reflected on the event, saying, “Woodstock was about more than just music—it was about the energy and the love.”
In this episode, we played tracks from iconic 60s artists like Jan and Dean, The Cowsills, The Beatles, The Mamas and the Papas, and Bob Dylan. Plus, we’ll dive deep into the unforgettable performances of Woodstock artists such as Richie Havens, Bert Sommer, John Sebastian, Melanie, Tim Hardin, Joan Baez, The Band, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Joe Cocker, Jimi Hendrix, and more.
Don’t miss out on this nostalgic journey! Tune in to the recording below and relive the magic of the 60s and Woodstock.
