Special Note:Neil Young at Woodstock

Tonight will be featured part of Crosby,Stills,Nash&Young's performance at Woodstock in 1969.Unfortunately,Neil Young was not included in the Woodstock film at his request,because he strongly objected to the film on the grounds that he felt the cinematography would corrupt the experience-or something like that.In short,he didn't like the cameras being onstage;they could have used their zoom lenses,he told interviewer Howard Stern in October 2014.
Young did play with the band for part of the set,but was cropped out of the scene as per his wishes.*
