Sweetwater - Motherless Child Live at Woodstock Festival 1969 (Full unpublished version)

Please subscribe for more content Like other groups who played Woodstock, Sweetwater were stuck in the traffic and couldn't make it to the festival site in time for them to kick off the festivities. They abandoned their attempts to drive through the sea of cars and people walking in the roadway, and they were ferried to the site by helicopter. Richie Havens agreed to perform first when the members of Sweetwater, who had been intended to open the festival, got stuck in traffic on the way to the event. Sweetwater opened their set with their version of "Motherless Child," the song that brought Nancy together with Alex, Albert, and Elpidio in the coffeehouse days and a song Richie Havens had famously incorporated into his final song, "Freedom." This was Sweetwater's most famous song, and the audience responded enthusiastically. Set list: 1º "Motherless Child" 2º "Look Out" 3º "For Pete's Sake" 4º "Day Song" 5º "What's Wrong" 6º "My Crystal Spider" 7º "Two Worlds" 8º "Why Oh Why" 9º "Let the Sunshine In" 10º "Oh Happy Day"
