CSN performed both with and without Young at Woodstock. “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” in the film is without Young. Young’s “Sea of Madness” is included on the _Woodstock_ album.

You’re forgetting Crosby, Stills, Black and Decker, who performed on Martin Mull’s “Normal” album.

I couldn’t remember him either but Brendan Starkey got in touch with the following…“Young did play Woodstock, but decided not to appear in the film. You can hear his organ playing, though, on “Wooden Ships.” He seems to have a wavering mistrust of the media -sometimes he embraces it, other times, like at this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction where he refused to appear due its being televised, he rejects it. No one has ever called him predictable.” So that clears that one up.)

I alway heard it as “Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Merrill, Lynch, Sacco & Vanzetti”.

For 10 bonus points, what was that first song they sang together?

Thank you George Carlin. I don’t remember which album, though. 😃
