It's a long list of people who regret their decision not to play (probably Dylan aside). I've always felt deeply sad about Joni not being able to play, but never knew how many bands actually turned down the gig thinking it would just be a little hippie fest on a pig farm. My mom was there and somehow I feel like I was too.

My dad tried to get there, but the northway was reportedly blocked up for miles and eventually just closed.

I said no because at Woodstock we'd have just been another band on the bill."

With that attitude they would not have fit in anyway

I didn't go - my son was only 6 months old- I didn't want to bring him (probably a good choice - with my luck I would've taken the "brown acid") lol

That info brings along alot of "what if's" with it. If "The Doors" played, they may have been the highlight. Or maybe Jim Morrison would have caused a riot...lol. Who knows?
