Note: The Jeff Beck Group was scheduled to perform at Woodstock but failed to make an appearance. Iron Butterfly were also expected to perform, but were stuck at an airport. Neil Young also joined Crosby, Stills, & Nash but refused to be filmed; by his own report Young felt the filming was distracting both performers and audience from the music. Young's "Sea Of Madness," heard on the album, was actually recorded a few days before the festival, at the Fillmore East dance hall. The Grateful Dead played at the festival but did not appear in the film or in any music releases due to their refusal to sign the contract given to them just before they went on stage. Joni Mitchell was also slated to perform but she was unable to get there due to the closure of the New York State Throughway. Led Zeppelin was asked to perform, but refused after they were offered a gig with higher pay.
