I guess I shoulda waited until the anniversary of Woodstock next month to post these various versions of the song... but when I found all three versions on Youtube, I got excited and impatient. As we know, all three could disappear by August, due to ongoing record company greed. So, I decided to post them now.
Which version do you like best?
~*~
First, the author's version.
Woodstock - Joni Mitchell

Second, the movie soundtrack version.
Woodstock - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

And finally, one of Daisy's special (and little-known) fangirl versions, with fabulous mystical loop-de-loop guitar riffs, played all over the place in 1970 and mostly forgotten since.
I know, musical heresy, but this is my favorite version of the song!
Woodstock - Matthews Southern Comfort (great visuals!)
Enjoy!
