WE WISH THESE OTHER ACTS WERE IN THE DIRECTOR’S CUT

Mountain

The heavy blues-rock band that prefigured so much ’70s sludge featured star guitarist Leslie West. They’re known for the hit “Mississippi Queen,” but the gem of their Woodstock set was their performance of “Theme From an Imaginary Western.” Inside baseball: The song was written by Cream legend Jack Bruce—and sung by Mountain’s bass player Felix Pappalardi, who had also produced Cream.

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Not in the movie nor the original record, though they were a very hot band at the time. Their blue-collar sensibility and lack of psychedelic pretension always set them apart from the rest of the San Francisco crew. Famous observation: Lead singer/songwriter John Fogerty said the Grateful Dead who preceded them put the crowd to sleep and he had to try to wake them up.
