Music Monday: Sly and the Family Stone at Woodstock

To celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the "3 Days of Peace & Music", here is "I want to take you higher" performed by Sly and the Family Stone. Sly was one of the performers that demanded payment before taking to the stage at the festival, which was initially a commercial venture and only later became free when it became clear that the organisers had vastly underestimated the appeal of the event. Other artists performing at the event included Joan Baez, Santana, Canned Heat, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe and the Fish, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and Jimi Hendrix, who closed the show in storming fashion.
