Or, heck, Woodstock: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodsto...orming_artists

 

I'm kind of partial to the lineup at the Festival Express Tour: Janis Joplin, The Band, Grateful Dead, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, Buddy Guy, Flying Burrito Brothers, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Mountain, Ten Years After, Traffic, Ian & Sylvia, Mashmakhan, Seatrain, Great Speckled Bird, Tom Rush, Eric Anderson, the Ides of March, James and the Good Brothers, and Sha Na Na, who somehow also got featured at Woodstock.


To be fair, this tour was summer of '70.

Haha, i wish dude! Played a huge festival over new years on the same bill as the flaming lips though.....


I'm playing in a few different bands at the moment, my old high school bands are pretty much done now... a bit sad. A lot of hectic {censored} happens between 18 and 20 something....
