Neil Young skipped most of the acoustic set (the exceptions being his compositions "Mr. Soul" and
"Wonderin'") and joined Crosby, Stills & Nash, but refused to be filmed during the electric set; by his own
report, Young felt the filming was distracting both performers and audience from the music. Young's "Sea of
Madness," heard on the album, was drawn from the Fillmore East concert, one month after the festival. The
original recording was later restored on the six-CD boxed set Woodstock: 40 Years On [Back To Yasgur's
Farm]
