Woodstock is one of the greatest rock/folk events of all time. So I've decided to set up a sort of battle of the bands restricted to bands at Woodstock. There will be a few pools to start, much like the CRBWC.

As usual, you must have a reason for your vote, or else it will not be counted.

So to start, a few of the solo folk singers in the first group.

Pool 1.
Richie Havens
Freedom
Strawberry Fields cover
handsome Johnny
Arlo Guthrie
Coming into Los Angeles
Walking Down the Line
Amazing Grace
Joan Baez
Joe Hill
We Shall Overcome
Sweet Sir Galahad
John Sebastian
Darling Be Home Soon
Younger Generation

Sorry I couldn't find another video for Sebastian. Just a note. All videos I find are from the woodstock performance that these artists gave. Let the battle begin.

I'm going to cast my vote. I probably should have done this with my OP, but here it goes. I vote for Richie Havens. His singing is so full of emotion, which sets him apart from many others. Also, his song "Freedom" is amazing.

What made you think a thread like this could actually work?

Well, perhaps i started off with artists that were to un-famous. I'll mix them in with some other pools later so they still get in. So now, an pool with more famous artists.
The new pool 1 is:
Sly and the Family Stone
I Want to Take You Higher
Love City
Also, "Dance to the Music" is by these guys, but I can't find any other woodstock videos besides the two above.

Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Spinning Wheel
More and More
Somethin' Coming on
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes
Wooden Ships
Helplessly Hoping and Long Time Gone
Ten Years After
I'm Going Home
That's the only Ten Years After song I could find, but they also played songs like "Good morning Little School Girl" and more. Hopefully this will be more successful than the previous pool.
