THE IMPROMPTU SATURDAY performance by Country Joe McDonald served as a wake-up call.

The gentle feeling of the day was thoroughly roiled by Country Joe when he launched into his popular ditty protesting the war. Sang Joe, “Come on mothers throughout the land / Pack your boys off to Vietnam . . . Be the first one on your block / To have your boy come home in a box.” The crowd joined in and sang along.

ONE OF THE BREAKOUT ACTS at Woodstock was Santana, led by its namesake, guitarist extraordinaire Carlos Santana (at right, with the group). Perhaps no other artists benefited more from the exposure at the festival than this band, especially when the Woodstock documentary hit the screen.
