Friday Nite Videos | August 16, 2019: Woodstock 50

Portside
The Woodstock music festival was 50 years ago this week. It was an epic example of the power of music. Here we present three performances from Woodstock, plus a prelude (D.A. Pennebaker/Duke Ellington) and a coda (Bernie Sanders/Cardi B). Enjoy.

White Rabbit, Live from Woodstock (1969)

Grace Slick's lyrics for White Rabbit employ imagery from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, with a hookah smoking caterpiller and lots of other otherworldly effects.
