Summary

1. "2019 marks the golden anniversary of the mass musical gatherings that saw the hippie generation at their 1969 zenith. Two events stand out, staged within days of each other that magical August: there was Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival of Music. Woodstock drew 400,000 fans and a quality bill that was a who's who of contemporary talent, all bar the main man the organisers hoped to lure on the doorstep of his home, Bob Dylan. Instead, Dylan opted to headline at the Isle of Wight, in front of close to 200,000 adoring fans. Bill Bradshaw celebrates the events of that summer 50 years on, and how the Isle of Wight staged what was then the nation's biggest festival. Eye-witness accounts from fans, artists, and the promoters bring alive that gilded summer and how it influenced both Dylan and the rock festival movement for generations to come"--Back cover.
