Question
Have you heard about a band called: SWEETWATER?
Did they open the Woodstock festival?
And ended their carrer soon after that?
Did Jefferson Airplane play any song of that band?

Thank you!

Answer
I have heard of Sweetwater, but have notlistened to any of their music.  Yes, they were the OPENING band at Woodstock way back in 1969 (I was 5 then!!).  There was a connection between them and Jefferson Airplane, but I could not find any evidence that JA ever covered a Sweetwater song.  For more info than I can type (and it would be a lot easier for you to read it at the site), go to www.sweetwaterband.com for everything you want to know.

Happy reading!!

Having grown up during the 70`s, I have a great appreciation for what I consider to be the best music ever recorded. My favourite group from that era is The Eagles and I believe that the summer of 1976 was the best summer for music releases! Ask me anything about any top 40 group from the mid 70`s to the mid 80`s and I am to say with most certainty, that I will be able to provide you with an answer!
