À propos de cet audio

Episode 3 chronicles Sly and the Family Stone's legendary 3:30 AM Woodstock performance that transformed a tired crowd into a transcendent community, cementing their place in history. The episode explores their artistic peak with the "Stand!" album and hits like "Everyday People," before detailing the mounting pressures of fame, political expectations, and personal demons that began tearing the band apart. By 1971's "There's a Riot Goin' On," the optimism had turned to darkness, with "Family Affair" reflecting dysfunction rather than unity. The episode traces how the most positive force in popular music descended from the peak of possibility to the precipice of collapse, showing both the triumph and tragedy of the sixties dream.
