Re: Woodstock version

I gotta go with Joni's version of the song, as she wrote it. Her smooth style and amazing voice give it more feeling than most other covers I've heard.

Re: Woodstock version

For me I prefer the Joni mitchell and Mathew Southern Comfort version's with the original chorus.

We are stardust.
We are golden.
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.

Crosby Stills version  and their changed chorus didnt work for me.
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden.

Re: Woodstock version

Got to go for Joni and her vocal gymnastics. And she's far prettier than the rest.
