[edit] Details
By the time of Woodstock founding member Al Kooper has already left the band. Nevertheless their blend of Jazz, Psychedelic, Soul and R&B was a nice addition for the musical diversity of the festival.
Blood, Sweat & Tears have already produced two hit albums so they could choose popular and well-known songs. However, it seems that not everything of their set was taped. The songs we have got are: More And More, Something's Comming On, I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know and Spinning Wheel. Despite the negative comments (see below) the band played the songs flawlessly and with a lot of feeling.

[edit] Miscellaneous
Pursuant to Saxophonist Fred Lipsius, Woodstock was the worst gig that Blood, Sweat & Tears ever played. Mr. Lipsius claims that David Clayton-Thomas sang off key that night, which is the only time, in the history of the band, it ever happened.
