Woodstock anthem

Is there a song that represents the whole event, that manages to capture the spirit of the festival, that's got all the values and the groove? A tune that's become a symbol of Woodstock? Surely, we've got the wonderful Joni Mitchell/CSNY song but after all, it was written after it was over. Is there any other track that gives you the vision of the crowd, the stage, the atmosphere, all the love and peace and music? :)

I think that 'Vietnam' is quite representable for the whole festival. It sounds happy, a bit psychedelic (the text does) and it have become a kind of monument to the protest against the Vietnam-war. And the 'Star Sprankled Banner' is just a very remarkable song of woodstock.

And beside all of that, I just love Freedom :D

I'll go with Jimi's Star Sprangled Banner aswell...
I think Canned Heat's Going Up The Country might be good as a woodstock anthem too.

I would go with Freedom by Richie Havens as a nice representative song for people who doesn't even know what woodstock was/is.

But I would rather have Sly & the Family stone's Dance to the music, I wanna take you higher medley.
That Ruled.

Most likely Star Spangled Banner. A truly iconic moment in music history.

Just shut up.

I agree. Altough I don't know all perfoming artists and therefore haven't heard all songs yet, this one truly is a masterpiece. Whether it's the anthem of the whole festival I don't know. It is for me, though.

Re: Woodstock anthem

I just cannot pick one song ... :-) ... like all these songs being named could fit it! ... for me, there's just not one ... :-D .... and although I'm a person that's very 'into' Jimi Hendrix (and I'm very introvert, but also open :-p), I would maybe immediately say a song by him, like the STAR SPANGLED BANNER (it's the exact same writing way as...), ... but I just cannot ... it would like 'disrespect' the other songs, like they're 'not' ... as I said before ... all of them being named I also agree, .... for the one then I don't think it is,
Surely, we've got the wonderful Joni Mitchell/CSNY song but after all, it was written after it was over. Is there any other track that gives you the vision of the crowd, the stage, the atmosphere, all the love and peace and music? :)

pure because of the fact it was a song NOT played at the festival itself (but yeah, I know, it doesn't just stand for "that festival" itself, but for a whole generation/era/Love, Peace & Happiness/you know)
...So, I just don't know, I just can't name ONE song :-)

!! Peace & Happiness !!

I would have to say... Canned Heat - Going up the country!

But Ten years After - I'm going home is a very good one too!

Car j'imagine toujours le pire, et le meilleur me fait souffrir

For me Janis Jopin singing "Work Me Lord" is the anthem of Woodstock but in terms of what Woodstock was all about then Country Joe and the Fish "Fixing to Die" rag sums it up in a very neat little package

Jimi really does it for me

Jimi's whole set was amazing. But what really does it for me is Voodoo Child. I love it so much. His whole improvisation really blew me away. I just wish I could of been there. I also really digged Ravi Shankar's set. Although I couldn't find much of his stuff from Woodstock on youtube :(
