CSNY played Altamont & Woodstock, but they didn't exist as a unit for Monterey...The Byrds (David Crosby) & Buffalo Springfield (Stephen Stills & Neil Young) both played Monterey

Santana also played Altamont & Woodstock, but not Monterey.

That's right, my bad

...they were AT Woodstock and were supposed to perform, but didn't. But, my original answer to the original question is still correct.

The Grateful Dead DID perform at Woodstock. They performed on Saturday, August 16th. They performed "St. Stephen", "Mama Tried", "Dark Star/High Times', and "Turn On Your Love Light." There were some technical problems during their set, and therefore, they are unhappy with the performance. That is why they don't appear in the documentary performing, only attending the festival.

Oh well, since no once answered my last question, here's the answer:

Who died October 12, 1997? John Denver

Mariah Carey's first 5 singles all went #1. I don't know if that's what whoever asked the question was looking for, but I know that's a Billboard fact.

What's the longest song title ever to hit #1 on the Hot 100?

I knew I should've stayed away from the Brown Acid.

On the UK charts, which songs were #1 on two separate occassion with the exact same recorded version?

Edit: There's officially 5 songs by very well-known artists.

Edit #2: The answer is below:

Strictly speaking, only five chart-topping tracks have ever left the chart and then returned to top it a second time in exactly the same version. They are:

"My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison (1971 and 2002; though with different 'B-sides'),

"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen (1975 and 1991, though on the latter occasion it was a double-A side with "These Are The Days Of Our Lives").

The one-a-week re-issue series commemorating what would have been Elvis Presley's 70th birthday in 2005 spawned a series of his old hits returning to the top spot. Each featured the original B side, though some CDs featured extra tracks. For this reason, they were all assigned new catalogue numbers. The full list of these (thus far) is:

"Jailhouse Rock" (1958 and 2005)
"One Night" / "I Got Stung" (1959 and 2005)
"It's Now Or Never" (1960 and 2005)

Sophie B. Hawkins - As I Lay Me Down, it stayed on the billboard top 200 for almost two years, but never reached # 1
