Legendary musician Richie Havens has passed away at the age of 72. Havens is known for being the first performer at Woodstock, and playing for three hours.

His powerful singing voice and fancy guitar playing will be missed!

The boys from Newfoundland played the beautiful event gallery at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY; kicking off the 2010 concert season at Bethel Woods. Bethel Woods is located at the original Woodstock site and is perhaps one of my favorite venues to see a show. Beautiful grounds, friendly staff and just a peaceful atmosphere.
