While the rock festival may have originated in the decade of the 1960s with the Monterrey Pop festival in June 1967, many of the most famous festivals actually took place in the 1970s. For example, the largest attended festival in US history, with over 600,000 concert goers on hand to hear the Allman Brothers, The Band and The Grateful Dead,, took place in August 1973 at Watkins Glen. Beginning in 1974, Knebworth in the UK became the site an almost annual outdoor festival, hosting such acts as Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd. Ontario Motor Speedway in California actually hosted 2 festivals in the 1970s, Cal Jam 1 in April 1974 and then its successor, Cal Jam 2 on March 18, 1978, 35 years ago today. Cal Jam 2 reflected the rise of a host of new hard rocking musical acts, with performances from Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Heart, and Mahogany Rush. Dave Mason also appeared on the bill, with his set focusing more on his 1970s solo material than on his music with Traffic. Download this one to hear Dave Mason play at one of the last great festivals of the decade. PS - thanks to the folks at Rock Rare Collection Fetish for the artwork.
