Trivia: Which act’s virtuoso performance closed 1969’s Woodstock Music Festival?
Janis Joplin
Grateful Dead
Joan Baez
Jimi Hendrix
The correct answer is Jimi Hendrix
So why is this answer correct? : Although the crowd at Woodstock numbered half a million at its peak, fewer than 200,000 stuck around ‘til Monday morning to experience Jimi Hendrix’s history-making performance. Festival organizer Michael Lang had originally wanted the decidedly unhip Roy Rogers to close the event with “Happy Trails,” but the singing cowboy declined.
