I was 19 and living in New York state when Woodstock was happening, only a couple of hours away — but I missed Janis, Jimi, Sly, the Who, Arlo, Country Joe, the entire spectacle.
Randy, yes, when he introduced Carole King, it was a surprise to the audience because she wasn’t on the bill with JT. It was great and it was a nice concert memory. It was in NYC.
The “original” 1969 Woodstock festival was supposed to be three days with separate tickets and admission for each day. My new wife and I (only married one month) had tickets for Day 2. Alas, couldn’t get there. My regret: tossing those tickets.
Love it. Nice piece. I have my memories of James Taylor, seeing him multiple times, and Taylor with Carole King. Thanks, Randy, ole' buddy.
Hi Pete -- I've seen JT a few times too, but never with Carole King. -- RB
