600,000 people and no one gave a whoot about the sound system/ WEM. The Who provided the system for the fest. Jimmy Hendrix played at 2am in the morning. There is a couple DVD's out on the fest from the Who and Jimmy. I belive in this day and age it would be called not enough rig for the gig. :)
This fest was right after Woodstock. Lots of cool pics here. Enjoy
