In the early hours of August 17, 1969, Sly and the Family Stone delivered one of the most powerful performances of Woodstock. Blending funk, soul, and rock, they brought the crowd to life with hits like “I Want to Take You Higher” and “Dance to the Music.” Their set wasn’t just a show—it was a statement. A tight, genre-defying band that reflected the spirit of change and unity in a moment that still resonates. | Woodstock

Sly and the Family Stone I Want To Take You Higher Recorded Live At The Woodstock Music & Art Fair, Sunday, August 17, 1969. “I Want to Take You Higher” is a song by the soul/rock/funk band Sly and the Family Stone, the B-side to their top 30 hit “Stand!”. Unlike most of the other tracks on the Stand! album, “I Want to Take You Higher” is not a message song; instead, it is simply dedicated to music and the feeling one gets from music. Like nearly all of Sly & the Family Stone’s songs, Sylvester
