Richie Havens
The original Woodstock 1969 lineup had the band Sweetwater starting the festival off. Unfortunately, they had problems within the band and had to pass up this prestigious honor to Richie Havens. Nearly 2 and a half hours after they were supposed to go on, Sweetwater would be the third act and first band to perform at Woodstock 1969.
