Woodstock and Zidane 2
1969Woodstock festivalBlood, Sweat & Tears perform at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair on 17 August 1969 — one of the defining cultural events of the 20th century. Their performance, broadcast to the estimated 400,000 people on Max Yasgur's farm, demonstrates their ability to hold a massive outdoor crowd with their nine-piece brass-rock sound. Clayton-Thomas is at the centre of it — commanding, soulful, larger than life. The Woodstock appearance cements BS&T's status as one of the defining bands of their era.
