Richie Havens's performance at Woodstock was scheduled well in advance. But he was scheduled to play later on that day meaning he was not the opening performer. Nothing could have prepared him for the circumstances he found there. Because of traffic problems, none of the early acts arrived on time, the concert was nearly three hours late, and Havens was the first performer to appear before the restive throng.
