Janis Joplin Stayed
Janis Joplin was also at Woodstock. She received $7,500 for her set! Most people remember her appearance for her performance of “Piece of My Heart”. Aside from this, she also belted out several other songs during the second day. The whole band had been flown into the venue via helicopter. The other members remember how she told them to play like it was any other gig. When the show ended, she stuck around at Woodstock to enjoy the rest of the festival with the festivalgoers!
A Surprise John Sebastian Set
John Sebastian’s Woodstock performance was not actually scheduled, but it was still unforgettable. He went there to watch the festival but agreed when the organizers asked him to perform as an acoustic guitar player. Overall, he played three unreleased songs on top of two others. What an icon!
