The Attraction Of The Woodstock Festival

It was not so hard to believe that many people would show up in the sweltering summer heat to see Santana, Joan Baez, Ravi Shankar, and the twentieth-century icon, Jimi Hendrix, perform live in a festival. With so many amazing artists on the line-up, you can imagine history was in the making on those three days at Woodstock.

Jimi Hendrix, with his band Gypsy Sun and Rainbows were the highlight of the festival. Their performance was recorded as one of the most iconic performances in rock and roll history, leaving the set as the highest-paid artist on the Woodstock line-up with a check of $18k.
