Of course it was Country Joe and the Fish (not Freddie and the Fishsticks) that famously opened Woodstock in 1969.

An event at the end of the summer of 1969, the Woodstock Festival in upstate New York, became a milestone that forever changed the band's career and to a certain extent the direction it then took. After much haggling due to last minute cancellations, Country Joe and Fish were scheduled to play the festival. As is now common knowledge, the roads were clogged, the weather was terrible and due to the estimated 500,000 souls in attendance, it was almost impossible for the artists to get to the site, let alone appear at their intended time. The first show day, Friday, found most performers either trapped at their hotel in a surrounding village, or trying to get to the stage area. Joe, who had come down to see what was going on, happened to be onstage at the exact moment Richie Havens was finishing his set. A guitar was found, a set was organized and after four or five songs, he decided to "do the Rag," which he had intended to perform with the band later in the festival.

"I was not aware they were filming. I was just aware that I did not want to fill
in after Richie Havens. There were too many people. I was scared. They found a guitar,
a Yamaha FG 150, and tied a rope on it ..... and pushed me on stage. The rest is history."
-Country Joe McDonald

"John Frinzi! Who?"

Watch out Surf, you may anger a certain "roadie" with that kind of talk.

The alliteration of Country Fred and the Fish Sticks made SUFFERIN' SUCCOTASH come to mind! I guess they're on the side...

"Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die"

Oh my! This brings back memories.....

I had long straight hair down to my butt, a poster of a girl putting daiseys in the ends of guns and an older brother who I was terrified would die in Viet Nam.....However I never made it to Woodstock. I was still in high school and not particularly adventurous.
