here is a partial list of bands that were suppose to play at Powder Ridge until the event was canceled. Police patrolled the roads leading to the area, telling people the festival would not go on. It didn't work. 30,000 showed up anyway and many got naked. Just see if you can spoil our fun!

LEd Zeppelin
Sly and the Family stone
The Allman Brothers
Van Morrison
Janis Joplin
Fleetwood Mac
Chuck Berry
Joe Cocker
James taylor
Jethro Tull
Little Richard
Spirit
Richie havens
John sebastian

my god, what a line up!

30 of the 48 music festivals scheduled for 1970 were cancelled, mostly due to local opposition. CIA snoops frequented these festivals, and considered them to be not much different than anti-war protests. To them it was all civil unrest. But nakedness and sunshine and non stop music from some of the biggest names in rock - man, how can anyone top that?
