Sweetwater – Motherless Child

Woodstock was ready to kick off with its opening act being the bizarre new fusion-jazz sound of Sweetwater, but before they could, the crowd had to be entertained by a few solo artists. The reason for the delay was the traffic; it was almost impossible to get there, so the band had to be flown in on a private plane.

The band landed and soon after started their set with the absurd number “Motherless Child,” a somewhat psychedelic medley featuring fruits, an assortment of sounds and harmonization, and trance-like instrumentals. It’s safe to say the crowd was bewildered and enjoyed their performance.
