Woodstock performers dying fairly soon

As is well-known, three musicians performing at Woodstock died one year after the event, and some three years later another, all at a specific age. It would be interesting to compare them to all deaths of Woodstock performers, but it is not easy to get a list - is there one? Did even any other musicians die in timely years after the event (or even faster)? --KnightMove (talk) 13:08, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Woodstock#Artists has a list of linked performers, so it should be pretty easy to check. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:36, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed I have checked for the easy cases, but e.g. for Sweetwater (band) it's hard to find a full list of members, and so it is to find the biographical data for the known members. Hard cases like this sum up significantly. So I hope someone may have read a book or something explicitly adressing this question. --KnightMove (talk) 15:14, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What's a "timely year" to die? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:23, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One of the next few years (not specified, but not many) after the event. Honestly I don't know how to express this in English correctly. --KnightMove (talk) 15:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, we should omit all performers who met an untimely demise. --Lambiam 19:39, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Checking further, I have found this page answering my question mostly, with a few gaps. --KnightMove (talk) 15:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your question is incomprehensible. If you are not a chatbot, please specify who or what this "Kelson" is and what you want to know. Please note that, as it says at the top of this page, "We don't answer requests for opinions, predictions or debate." {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 151.227.226.178 (talk) 19:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the IP is thinking of Keelson. Though the question still makes no sense. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:25, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
