Love the info at the end:

Cancelled Acts

1. Jeff Beck Group (The band broke up in July, forcing cancellation)
2. Iron Butterfly (Stuck at the airport, their manager demanded helicopters and special arrangements just for them. Were wired back and told, as impolitely as Western Union would allow, "to get lost", but in other 'words'.)
3. Joni Mitchell (Joni's agent put her on "The Dick Cavett Show" instead)
4. Lighthouse (Feared that it would be a "bad scene".)
5. Ethan Brown (Arrested for LSD three days before the event.)

Declined Invitations

1. The Beatles (John Lennon said he couldn't get them together)
2. Led Zeppelin (Got a higher paying gig elsewhere)
3. Bob Dylan (Turned it down because of his disgust of the hippies hanging around his house)
4. The Byrds (Turned it down because of a melee during their performance at the first Atlanta International Pop Festival, held at the Atlanta International Raceway on July 4 and July 5, 1969)
5. Tommy James & the Shondells (Turned it down because of being misinformed about the size and scope of the event)
6. Jethro Tull (Turned it down because they thought it wouldn't be a big deal.)
7. The Moody Blues (Unknown reasons)
8. Mind Garage (Declined because they thought it wouldn't be a big deal and had a higher paying gig elsewhere)

5. A Few Years Back...

I found a 25th Anniversary DVD which reformatted the film (so the side screens wouldn't be cut off on your TV set), and added a lot more footage.

I understand they are about to release yet another DVD soon with even more footage and features!

:shrug:

12. You Should Check Out "The Woodstock Experience" CDs

There are five of them (so far?); Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Janis Joplin, Sly & the Family Stone and Johnny Winter. They are double CDs with the first being a contemporary studio album and the second the complete Woodstock set (except the Airplane, which starts the long Woodstock set after track 11 on the first CD). They're all great too.

6. There's a great Woodstock story in producer Joe Boyd's book.

Incredible String Band (who he produced) was meant to go on but refused to play due to the rain. Melanie played in their place. They were rescheduled to play the next day but were playing in the afternoon between rock bands rather than at night amidst a bunch of folk acts. As a result, Melanie ended up in the movie with some dramatic footage playing in the rain and became pretty big because of it. ISB's set flopped. He mentions it as the one major regret of his career, as he advised them not to play in the rain but to reschedule.

8. Actually, Willie

Lang didn't want The Beatles. He wanted Lennon, though. He couldn't get a visa. Drug charges.

Morrison didn't want to do it because he thought he would be assassinated onstage.
