Great ending Music to this old news clip. “The Weight” has different meanings to each individual that truly listens to it. The Bands last Waltz should be required listing to young musicians. Thanks.👍🎵❤️

Hey MM, good to see you. Yes, The Weight is a great tune by the great 'Band'. Check out this 1995 clip of Robbie Robertson performing 'The Weight' with Dr. John on piano and Sheryl Crow on backup vocals. kzitem.info/news/bejne/xYRum2upr6lkomk

Never heard about this . This was really interesting. What a great fest that would have been Janis Joplin, Fleetwood Mac, Sly and the family Stone. Thanks for sharing Stan. Enjoyed video.

On no, rock music and young people, cancel at all costs! Thanks Stan - hadn't heard about this, but I now have some reading to do. I see Melanie was the only artist to show up - good for her. I have an autographed poster I designed for one of her performances framed on my wall - I see it every day (what a voice - but man is she a trip in person). And as another poster said - nice ending.

Thanks for watching Claire. I just showed this video to my brother-in-law and come to find out, he was there for two days! He was 18 years old then, now he's 68 and living in Simi Valley, CA. He said it was one big happy party.

For what it's worth, I still have my ticket. After this cancellation me and a buddy went to the Strawberry Fields Festival in Canada that August. Next year I was drafted. Ancient history now, fuhgeddaboudit.

@@Stan_CT- kind words sir. Yup, swell times. I went to Woodstock in 1969 and planned this in summer of 1970. I did manage to see The Who do Tommy at the Met in NYC in June of 1970, lotsa bellbottoms and tie dyed shirts. And a very strong smell of weed. If Powder Ridge came off it woulda been an outrageous trip. Different times, like another world and soooo long ago. Thanks for posting this neat video.

Haha, yeah the news was fabricated even back then, 50 years ago. Nice band lineup tho, for 20 bucks. Too bad they didn't let the show go on. Janis Joplin od'ed just a two months after this.

@@Stan_CT, $20 for a ticket and everything you needed was there waiting and gas was what, like .25 or .30 cents or something? They were styling! .60 cents for a pack of smokes. Lol
