On Sunday the sun was so bad that people were starting to worry about heatstroke. Some people had signs of pneumonia from being wet for two days. Grace Slick, the lead singer for Jefferson Airplane, started to sing at sunup (Tiber 1, Pt. 6). The line up for Sunday was supposed to be The Band, Jeff Beck Group, Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Joe Cocker, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly, Ten Years After, and Johnny Winter. The actual schedule was Joe Cocker around 2:00 pm, Max Yasgur spoke, Country Joe and the Fish, Ten Years After at 8:00 pm, The Band at 10:30 pm, Blood, Sweat, and Tears at 12:00 am, Johnny Winter, Crosby, Stills, and Nash at 3:00 am, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Sha-Na-Na, and Jimi Hendrix at 9:00 am on Monday morning (“Woodstock Schedules” 1). By Sunday the state police figured 450,000 people there, while others rounded it off to half a million. Sunday afternoon a man and woman pulled up to Elliot Tiber’s resort. The woman was in labor. Tiber was the only one at the resort who was not stoned so he delivered the baby through instinct. He then watched as an army medica flew the mother and her infant away. Later on the mother came back and thanked Tiber. She wrote her name and the baby’s name on a matchbook. Tiber put the matchbook in his pocket but lost the pants. Around 5:00 pm a bad thunderstorm rolled in. Leo O’Mara saw a man walking around in a muddy raincoat with a huge smile on his face. O’Mara wondered why the man was so happy in such miserable weather. O’Mara then saw three other sets of legs underneath the raincoat. When people started to leave they ran into whatever was in their way. Many cars had the gas stolen out of them. Investigator Cannock met with Raymond Mizak’s father Sunday night. The tractor ran over his chest and his head swelled to twice its normal size. Two more people died Sunday. A man in his mid-twenties died of a heroin overdose. A marine also died of an overdose; he had just gotten out of the war without a scratch (Tiber 2-3, Pt. 6).

Late Thursday night the smell of marijuana was in the air. It sounded like a parade outside because of all of the people walking to the festival. When Michael Lang woke up Friday morning the ticket booths were missing. Ventures had hired Van Loan to tow the booths in two days before the concert. The booths never made it because of traffic. Since the booths were not at the gate, organizers decided to take down the fence and have a free show; they would worry about the bills later. Late Friday morning three school buses, full of cops, arrived at Woodstock. The cops had been hand picked by Woodstock Ventures because of their street smarts and laid back attitudes. They were promised fifty dollars a day. When the cops arrived at Woodstock a message had been sent to them that they would be fired from the department if they participated in Woodstock. The cops left immediately; a few stayed under aliases and demanded their pay go up. Woodstock organizers blame police for the traffic because they refused to help at the festival. Most of the police wanted Woodstock to be a disaster. Babbs, the leader of the Pranksters, headed the security. The Pranksters was a group like the Hog Farmers. Babbs told security if they saw people arguing to help the one who was in trouble. He also said not to worry about drugs because there were going to be so many there, and there was no way to keep track of them. The line-up for Friday was Joan Baez headlining, Tim Hardin, Arlo Gutherie, Sweetwater, The Incredible String Ban, Ravi Shankar, Bert Sommer, and Melanie Safka. One rock act was added at the end, Sly and the Family Stone. The festival was supposed to begin at 4:07 pm on Friday but performers were spread around in motel miles from the site. The traffic was so bad that helicopters had to bring the acts into the festival, but the helicopters were also late. Finally, a four seater that could
