When:
Short story:
When Melanie plays at The Woodstock Festival, New York State, USA, rain is pouring down. When the rain stops, the crowd responds by lighting candles and Melanie is so charmed that she will write her song Lay Down [Candles In The Rain] about the moment. Joni Mitchell, meanwhile, is stuck in New York City and cannot get to the festival. She will compose her song Woodstock based on accounts of the event told to her by members of Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young. Another song about Woodstock is For Yasgur's Farm by Mountain.
