Woodstock Day 1, act i – Richie Havens
by August 15, 1969, Woodstock Day 1 started with Richie Havens
A lasting legacy of advocacy through music
There is along standing legend that Richie Havens was asked to entertain the crowd for three hours, due to the transportation difficulties of other acts. This was perpetuated by Richie Havens, who was exaggerating when making such a claim. But he did play longer than expected.
