Even if you weren't there during the '69 Summer of Love, it was documented in a popular film and two top-selling albums. Many of the performances have become iconic and have reverberated through the decades. As tough as it may be to decide, is there one act from the original Woodstock festival that you could call your absolute favorite? Not "the best", not "the most popular", but your favorite?
Mine would have to be "I'm Coming Home" by Ten Years After. As much as I've come to dislike extended rhythmic interludes, it seems to work here as Alvin Lee's visual countenance and inspired throwback to traditional rock and blues is a treat for the eyes and ears, always has been.

Agreed. I saw Alvin at Cobo. I wish I'd seen him more.

Re: Favorite Act at the Original Woodstock
As ramshackle a performance as it was musically, my close runner-up has to be Joe Cocker performing The Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends". Who'd think one could squeeze so much soul out of such a simple tune?!
