Janis Joplin was also at Woodstock. She received $7,500 for her set! Because of her “Piece of My Heart” performance, most people remember her appearance. Aside from this, she also belted out several other songs during the second day. The entire band was flown into the venue via helicopter. The other members remember how she told them to play like it was any other gig. When the show ended, she stuck around at Woodstock to enjoy the rest of the festival with the festivalgoers!
