        Just saw a video on FB of Ringo singing Boys at the festival. Sorry, no way to share, plus it was posted in a closed group.

            The Beatles were considering of performing at Woodstock and filming it for the “Let It Be” documentary.

            Traffic problems and rumor has it George Harrison was there.  But The Beatles could’ve performed at Woodstock if John Lennon was not ‘stuck’ in Canada.  Remember?  The Bed-in?

              When I listen to her sing the lyrics of the song it gives me goosebumps and makes my eyes water.

              I have a feeling that if The Beatles had played Woodstock and announced it beforehand, that there would have been 3 million people jamming the highways.
