Some songs you can only listen to a couple times in a row and you get bored. And the icing on the cake is that the recording mix is nearly perfect as well. And the obvious: Stills' lead vocal, and Crosby and Nash's backing vocals shine as well. The keyboard work (mostly organ, but you can hear piano in the first verse, too) is just great.
I am completely fascinated by the rhythm guitar work in the song (I am guessing it's Stills'): it seems perfectly restrained and understated, wonderfully supporting the beat and the melody at the same time. Young's and Stills's guitar work: amazing (l think the opening solo is Stills, and all the other solos are unmistakably Young). Building upon that foundation, CSN&Y used every tool and talent in their possession. Why? The foundation is Joni Mitchell's incredible spiritually- and hope-infused lyrics. Impressions: it is one of the best "rock" songs ever recorded. I have been listening to "Woodstock" on headphones for the last 40 mins or so. Within the last couple of years, as I've digitized my music, I picked up CSN&Y's compilation album "So Far".

To understand the meaning of this song, put yourself into the lyrics as part of the whole happening! And by the time "You" get to WoodStock.you'll understand Joni's intentions! By the By.This tune was "Meant" to be preformed by CSN&Y!.Alice Degregori from TexasThis song is actually by Joni Mitchell, who dated Crosby in the 60s.
