  8. Declined invitations The Beatles • two scenarios as to why The Beatles did not perform. • The first is that promoters contacted John Lennon to discuss a Beatles performance at Woodstock, and Lennon said that the Beatles would not play unless there was also a spot at the festival for Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band, whereupon he was turned down. • the more likely explanation is that Lennon wanted to play but his entry into the United States from Canada was blocked by President Nixon. • The Beatles were in any case on the verge of breaking up. Also, they had not performed any live concerts since August 1966 (not including their impromptu rooftop concert given on January 30, 1969), three full years before the festival.

  9. THE DOORS • potential performing band, but canceled at the last moment. • according to guitarist Robby Krieger, they turned it down because they thought it would be a "second class repeat of Monterey Pop Festival", and later regretted that decision. • Furthermore, lead singer Jim Morrison was said to be uneasy about performing in front of enormous crowds. • Doors drummer John Densmore attended, however, and in the film he can be seen on the side of the stage during Joe Cocker's set.

  10. Led Zeppelin • asked to perform, their manager Peter Grant stating: "We were asked to do Woodstock and Atlantic were very keen, and so was our U.S. promoter, Frank Barsalona. I said no because at Woodstock we'd have just been another band on the bill.“ • Instead the group went on with their hugely successful summer tour, playing that weekend south of the festival at the Asbury Park Convention Hall in New Jersey. • Their only time out taken was to attend Elvis Presley's show at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, on August 12.

  11. Bob Dylan • in negotiations to play, pulled out when his son became ill. • He also was unhappy about the number of hippies piling up outside his house near the originally planned site
