  7. The Moody Blues were included in the original posters as performers, but backed out after taking a gig in Paris on the same weekend.
  8. Spirit (they had other shows planned and did not want to back out of their commitments; not knowing how big that Woodstock would ultimately become)
  9. Mind Garage (Declined because they thought it wouldn't be a big deal and had a higher paying gig elsewhere)
