What the Woodstock performers released in 1969

· 1 min read · by 1001 Albums

The Woodstock Music and Art Fair took place on Max Yasgur's dairy farm in Bethel, New York, from 15 to 18 August 1969. Some 400,000 people came, far more than the organisers had planned for, and Michael Wadleigh filmed it for Woodstock.

Richie Havens opened the festival on the Friday, and Jimi Hendrix closed it on the Monday morning. Santana's first album came out later that month, and Crosby, Stills & Nash, who played there with Neil Young, had theirs out in May, as the Who had Tommy. Creedence Clearwater Revival released three albums that year.

The list has 33 records from 1969 to 1969. Left out are the performers with no new album that year, among them Jimi Hendrix and Quill, the records of late 1968 such as Blood, Sweat & Tears' second album and Sweetwater's first, and the albums Deezer does not have: Melanie's Affectionately Melanie and the Keef Hartley Band's The Battle of North West Six. About 24 hours of music, 3 days of a few records each.
