The first three bands to perform at Woodstock in 1969 were Richie Havens, Swami Satchidananda, and Sweetwater. Richie Havens opened the festival on Friday, August 15, with an impromptu acoustic set. He was followed by Swami Satchidananda, who delivered a spiritual address, and then Sweetwater took the stage. These performances set the tone for the iconic music festival.
Richie Havens's performance at Woodstock was scheduled well in advance. But he was scheduled to paly later on that day mening 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.
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.
Aerosmith was not a band back then, but Steven Tyler and Joey Kramer both were there. Aerosmith did perform at Woodstock '94
That would be The Who.
The Who played in the 1969 Woodstock festival. They also played in Live aid.
