With the 40th Anniversary of “Woodstock ’69” now here, the Woodstock celebration continues. What bands that should have been booked to perform at Woodstock ‘ 69?
1. Led Zeppelin – They were asked to perform at Woodstock ’69, but the band turned it down. A shame, they would have been good. In 1969, Led Zeppelin were a new band at the time as they only released Led Zeppelin I album that year. Even though Led Zep didn’t have much original material that year, I’m sure the band would have thrown in a bunch of cover songs to fill the set time at Woodstock.
2. The Doors – They would have been a great addition to the Woodstock ’69 lineup, they turned down the gig ’cause Jim was uncomfortable playing outside gigs.
3. Fleetwood Mac – with Peter Green fronting the band at this time of year in ’69, this would have kicked ass!
4. Pink Floyd – Enough said?
5. Bob Dylan – As much as I don’t like Bob Dylan too much, it was very weird on why he didn’t play the festival.
6. Tommy James and the Shondells – Another band that was asked to play but turned down, I’ve always loved this band, them being a part of Woodstock would have been something very special.
7. Jethro Tull – I wonder why they never played, it would have been a great opportunity for them.
8. Cream – Eric Clapton’s 1960’s heavy rock blues band would have been great!
9. B. B. King – Don’t hurt to have a little blues, don’t it? B.B. would have been perfect as well.
10. The Allman Brothers Band – Although they only had one album released that year, I can definitely see them playing on that Woodstock stage.
