RonJonSurfer Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 In August of 1969, a pop festival happened. No, not that one, the one at the Atlantic City Racetrack. The overall line up was better than Woodstock (my opinion). Take a look: American Dream , Aum,Booker T. and the M.G.’s, Tim Buckley,Paul Butterfield Blues Band, The Byrds, Canned Heat, The Chambers Brothers, Chicago, Joe Cocker,Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Dr. John the Night Tripper, Janis Joplin, B.B. King, Lighthouse, Little Richard, Lothar and the Hand People, Hugh Masekela, Buddy Miles Express, Joni Mitchell, Mother Earth, Procol Harum, Santana, Sir Douglas Quintet, Three Dog Night, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Johnny Winter. This show took place a couple of weeks before Woodstock. Would you pay the steep asking price of $15 for the full three day pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) Awesome! Wish I could say I was there, but alas...no. Wasn't Levon Helm with Lothar and the Hand People? Edited September 19, 2005 by Guest 'cause I mispelled Lothar LothaT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I don't know about that...When I was in High School and college I helped people find "hard to find" albums...for a slight fee. One guy offeered me $50 if I could find an original album by Lothar and The Hand People. I forget the title now, but I found it for him. BTW, this was the album, so it was "presenting" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Oh yes I would have paid the $15...even more. I mean look at the line up of great artists!! I was young in '69 too young to drive but if I had been older I would have travled the states hitting all the cool concerts at the time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
