The following is stated about CCWR and the Woodstock festival:

''The band also complained that they had to take the stage at three in the morning because The Grateful Dead had jammed far past their scheduled set time. By the time Creedence began playing—"the hottest shot on Earth at that moment", said Fogerty—many in the audience had gone to sleep.''

There are some things wrong with this. First, the bands that played at Woodstock on Saturday night were, in order:

1. The Grateful Dead 2. Creedence Clearwater Revival 3. Janis Joplin 4. Sly and The Family Stone 5. The Who

The first lights of the sun were appearing during the final songs by The Who. The Jefferson Airplane was the first performance after sunrise. If the Dead had played until 3:00 AM, then it would have been impossible for the other bands to play before sunrise. The fact is the Dead played only five songs at Woodstock, although the last song was especially long. As I recall it, they began their set before sunset, and finished in the early evening. (Bob Weir was being electrocuted by his guitar, and they gave a poor performance.) I would estimate that Creedence began performing about 9:30 PM and that the Who began their set at about 3:00 AM. In addition I would add that the audience was mostly awake throughout the performances of Saturday night, it was actually the most exciting part of the festival. If so many in the audience were sleeping, how could Fogerty have ascertained that? There has been so much false information issued about Woodstock, but this is among the most fantastic.
