This signed sheet music represents Melanie Safka’s Woodstock 1969 setlist, autographed by the legendary folk-pop singer herself. When Melanie took the stage at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair in August 1969, she was still a relative newcomer. Her set, delivered on the second day of the festival, introduced her to an audience of hundreds of thousands and marked a defining moment in her career. Performing with just her guitar, she delivered heartfelt renditions of her songs—including Beautiful People and Birthday of the Sun—that captured the sincerity and vulnerability that would become her trademark. The most unforgettable part of her performance came when the audience lit candles in the rain, an image that profoundly moved Melanie and later inspired her 1970 anthem Lay Down (Candles in the Rain). That song, born directly from her Woodstock experience, became a Top 10 international hit and one of the defining tracks of the counterculture era. Melanie Safka (1947–2024) rose from her Woodstock breakthrough to international stardom in the 1970s. Known for her distinctive voice and honest songwriting, she went on to score hits like What Have They Done to My Song, Ma?, Peace Will Come (According to Plan), and the chart-topping Brand New Key. She became a symbol of individuality, peace, and authenticity, embodying the values of the Woodstock generation while carving out her own unique place in music history. Owning signed sheet music tied to Melanie’s Woodstock setlist is more than a collectible—it is a direct link to one of the most iconic music festivals of all time, and to an artist whose career was forever shaped by that stage. For fans of Woodstock, collectors of counterculture memorabilia, and admirers of Melanie’s artistry, this piece captures a transformative moment in music history.
