It was about 1:30 AM, Monday 18 August. Bethel’s dairy farmers would be up soon and hoped that the roads would be open so trucks could pick up their milk. Many Catskill weekend vacationers bemoaned their luck to have picked a weekend when 500,000 others unintentionally closed down the area.
For those who had remained at the festival, there were still four more bands yet to play after Blood, Sweat and Tears to complete Sunday’s lineup: Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Sha Na Na, and Jimi Hendrix. The rain storm had delayed the day’s progression, but even without the downpour, the festival would still have stretched out into early Monday.
The live performance often gave individual band members the chance to stretch out their studio performances. The set lasted about 55 minutes.
