- No, they didn't perform at Woodstock. They were barely in their
- beginnings as a performing outfit, and Woodstock was not a place for
- unknowns just starting out with experimental music - well-established
- performers were the rule, like Joan Baez, Crosby Stills & Nash, Jimi
- Hendrix, Moutain, Canned Heat, the Who, and Jefferson Airplane.
-
- In 1969, the pop/rock music industry was overwhelmingly dominated by
- American and English acts. Kraftwerk didn't even 'break through' until
- six years later with _Autobahn_.
