Woodstock - Who Was There? Who Wishes They Had Been There?

SGBARRACUDA said
I hope you don't mind but this is related to the Woodstock event. I went to lunch with another member,clhyer, and afterwords he took me by the closed down Mid Georgia Speedway. On this location there is a historic monument about the Second annual Atlanta Pop Festival . This is where Jimmy Hendrix played to his largest crowd on July 4th 1970 around midnight. I was estimated that the crowd was between 200,000 and 600,000 people attended. It was also such a nightmare to local politicians that new laws were passed to prevent these sort of concerts from being held in the future. Here are a list of performers
Over thirty acts performed on the main stage during the course of the event:

The Allman Brothers Band

Ballin' Jack

Bloodrock

Bloomsbury People

Cactus

Cat Mother & the All Night Newsboys

Chakra

Chambers Brothers

Goose Creek Symphony

Grand Funk Railroad

Gypsy

Memphis State University cast of "Hair"

Hampton Grease Band

Handle

Richie Havens

Hedge & Donna

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

It's a Beautiful Day

Johnny Jenkins

B.B. King

Lee Michaels

Mott the Hoople

Mountain

Poco

Procol Harum

Radar

Rare Earth

Terry Reid

Rig

Savage Grace

John Sebastian

Bob Seger System

Spirit

Ten Years After

U.S. Kids

Johnny Winter

I'm not sure if this was the same show, but I think it could be. I recently heard that footage from this event just got pulled out of someone's attic after all these years, and this concert is to become available for either download or possibly on DVD. I think the source was a Seattle rock FM station and probably somewhat of a reliable bit of info. I wish I could have been at either. I was a kid in So Cal at the time, and my dad was into Hi-fi, we had these huge Electro-voice speakers that would knock clocks off of the wall (and did). Lots of Iron Butterfly, Easy Rider, Ten Years After, Santana in those years.
