Woodstock 20 Years After CD

23 songs from the 1950s revival group Sha Na Na, recorded at the Woodstock: 20 Years After concert in August 1989.
Sha Na Na, who sold over 20 million records and starred in its own syndicated television series, was one of the performers at the original 1969 Woodstock Music Festival.
Twenty years later, the band joined original fellow musicians for the Woodstock: 20 Years After concert held 3,000 miles away at Cal-State Dominguez Hills in Carson, California on August 20, 1989.
Sha Na Na's appearance at the original Woodstock was only the band's eighth performance.
Formed during the 1968-69 school year at Columbia University, the original line-up featured a dozen members and performed a song-and-dance repertoire based on popular 1950s rock 'n' and doo-wop hits.
Their high-energy presentation and set-closing rendition of At The Hop was a highlight of the concert and appeared in the documentary film, making Sha Na Na a U.S. sensation and triggering a 1950s nostalgia craze that inspired the Broadway musical Grease, American Graffiti, and the 1970s television series Happy Days.
When the film adaptation of Grease arrived in 1978, the accompanying soundtrack included six songs by Sha Na Na, and the group performed two songs in the film as Johnny Casino and the Gamblers.
