For 3 straight years, from 1968 to 1970, The Isle of Wight, a small island just off the south east coast of England, was the site of major rock festivals attracting some of the biggest names in rock music. The 1968 festival was headlined by The Jefferson Airplane while the 1969 concert featured Bob Dylan and The Who. The 1970 festival, however, has garnered the most attention, however, for two reasons. First, Jimi Hendrix headlined the show, which in turn attracted additional acts such as Jethro Tull, Ten Years After, Chicago, The Doors, The Who, ELP, The Moody Blues, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and Miles Davis. Second, the event attracted over 600,000 people, making it the largest concert ever held until that point. The massive nature of the event also meant it would be the last such show on the Isle of Wight for over 32 years. In 1971 the British Parliament passed the "Isle of Wight Act" preventing gatherings of more than 5,000 people on the island without a special license. The festival was revived in 2002, and has been held every year since except 2020 due to the pandemic. This webcast recording captures Sheryl Crow at the 2018 edition, in June 24, 2018, 7 years ago today.
