Canadians Who Played Woodstock (and some who should have but didn't)

I've spent a lot of time lately reading about Woodstock, listening to recordings from Woodstock, and watching both the 1970 documentary film recorded at Woodstock and the recent PBS documentary about Woodstock currently streaming on Netflix. Woodstock was 50 years ago today.

As a Canadian, I'm naturally curious about Canadian content at Woodstock. Here's the key Cancon, and some Canadian acts that should have played but didn't for one reason or another.

The Band

I'm fascinated by The Band. They were the backing band for Ronnie Hawkins before Bob Dylan took 'em on the road in 1968.
