What is stranger - that Sha Na Na played at Woodstock, or that I own this record? They played on Sunday, (actually Monday morning) right after The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Bummer. They played a 12-song set, quite lengthy compared to some other acts that played. I am reading the Woodstock book by Michael Lang, the guy who put the whole thing on, and I am not at the part where he books Sha Na Na. Can't wait to read that part. But the payoff was huge - if you lasted through Sha Na Na, you were rewarded with Jimi Hendrix's historical and epic "wake and bake" closing act set at 10 am Monday morning. Santana was booked for $1,500 and had not yet had an album out. Stay tuned for that.
