On August 15, 1969, Richie Havens took the stage at Woodstock at 5:07 PM. As the festival's first performer, he held the crowd for nearly three hours (in part because he was told to perform a lengthy set because many artists were delayed in reaching the festival location). Having run out of tunes, he improvised a song based on the old spiritual "Motherless Child" that became "Freedom". Eventually, after being called back for several encores, Havens left the stage at 7:00 PM. Swami Satchidananda came on next at 7:10 to give the invocation for the festival. Swami only stayed for 10 minutes and left at 7:20. Originally, the first performer was supposed to be the band Sweetwater. But due to problems within the band, they would have to settle for being the first band to play at Woodstock when they took the stage at 7:30 PM.
