Janis Joplin Stayed
Janis Joplin was another legend who was at Woodstock. For her set, she got $7,500! What most people remember is her performance of her hit song “Piece of My Heart.” Aside from this, on the second day, she belted other songs out. The whole band was flown in via helicopter. She told them to act just like it was a regular gig, according to the other members. She stayed to enjoy the festival after the show ended, just like the other festivalgoers!
