The Woodstock Music & Art Fair was a music festival held on a 600-acre (2.4-km2) dairy farm in the rural town of Bethel, New York, from August 15 to August 18, 1969. Thirty-two acts performed during the sometimes rainy weekend in front of nearly half a million concertgoers.

The band declined to participate in the 1970 documentary film or its soundtrack album because they were unhappy with the sound quality of their performance. Film cameras were also ordered to stop filming them, as their manager had never given permission for the band to be filmed.

Acoustic set

"Sea of Madness"

This was just the band's second performance together. Neil Young skipped most of the acoustic set (the exceptions being his compositions "Mr. Soul" and "Wonderin'" and the final acoustic song, Stills' "You Don't Have to Cry") and joined Crosby, Stills and Nash during the electric set, but refused to be filmed. Young felt the filming was distracting both performers and audience from the music. As a result, Young's name was dropped in the concert film and on its soundtrack (though his name is included in Chip Monck's introduction of the band in the film). Despite Young's refusal, footage does exist of him performing "Mr. Soul" and "Long Time Gone". The "Mr. Soul" performance can be found as an Easter egg on his The Archives Vol. 1 1963–1972 box set, but because of Young's resistance to being filmed, during much of the performance the camera remains focused on Stills. The version of Young's "Sea of Madness" on the Woodstock soundtrack album was actually recorded at a Fillmore East concert, one month after the festival. According to legend, Stephen Stills demanded the replacement because the Woodstock version was substandard. The original recording finally saw release on 2019's Woodstock – Back to the Garden: The Definitive 50th Anniversary Archive.
