events featuring Bob Dylan, The Who, Free, The Doors, Joni Mitchell, Jefferson Airplane culminating in 1970
with 600,000 hippies descending on the island to see Jimi Hendrix perform his penultimate concert. The
event has played a major part in shaping the music festivals we know today and was the European answer to Woodstock.
