Which band performed "My Generation" at Woodstock?

The Who performed “My Generation” at Woodstock.

The English rock band played at Woodstock on Sunday, August 17, 1969, bringing one of the festival's most aggressive and influential performances. “My Generation” was part of the band's early repertoire and captured the rebellious attitude associated with British mod culture and the wider youth movement of the 1960s.

Written by guitarist Pete Townshend, the song was released as a single in 1965 and served as the title track of the Who's debut album. Roger Daltrey sang the lead vocal, while Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon supplied the band's distinctive guitar, bass, and drumming attack. The performance helped cement the Who's reputation as a powerful live act.

The song is often remembered for Daltrey's stammered delivery and its famous declaration about getting older. It is not the Rolling Stones' “Satisfaction,” the Kinks' “You Really Got Me,” or a song by the Animals. A further Woodstock detail: the Who performed before Jimi Hendrix, who eventually closed the festival on Monday morning.
