1. That's my second favorite performance at Woodstock...

second only to Canned Heat, but I'm a huge CH fan.

Do you know he improvised that song, because they needed him to stay on stage while they waited for the next act to arrive?

[SteppingRazor]

2. I saw him a couple years ago...

That was definitely a concert highlight. He closed the show with "On the Turning Away" by Pink Floyd. Also a choice cut.

[SlowDownFast]

3. gave Richie a high-five

when he opened up for a concert in Detroit about 12 or so years ago.

I was front row, center...

6. One of the highlights

of that era. I have my Woodstock tape set to the beginning of the song, and my family will get out my son's collection of bongos and conga sets and let loose.
