Richie Havens had the honour to open the Woodstock Festival at about 5.00 pm (sources claim that it was exactly 5.07 pm). According to an interview on TV there were originally four songs planned for him. But since the audience liked him and the organizers forced him to play longer (bands were stuck in the traffic jam) he was happy to perform more songs. He further claimed that he played every song he knew the next 2:45 hours but this is quite exaggerated since there were bands who also performed during daylight on this day. Sunset occured around 8:00 pm. __TOC__
