What are some of the greatest hits played at the woodstock festival in 69?
“I’m Free” by The Who is what I suspect you’re asking for, from their Tommy LP and performed at Woodstock. Tommy was made into a film in the 1970s. A 6-cd set from Woodstock is to be released via Amazon on Aug 11. If you go to http://www.rhinorecords.com you can see the entire playlist. No, I wasn’t there. I was 14 and in New Orleans.
