What songs did ravi shankar play at Woodstock?
Sorry, can't answer the question directly. Ravi Shankar didn't then and still doesn't today do 'songs' he did and does do ragas and other Indian musical forms.
By the way, I was in India recently. The kids I asked didn't know anything about the Ravi Shankar sitar player who was and is popular in the West. There are at least two other Ravi Shankars that are well known in India. One is a very famous religious (well, not exactly religious but something close) leader. See http://www.celebrityfireworks.com
