Notes: The Newport Pop Festival was held June 20-22, 1969 at Devonshire Downs in Northridge, California. Over 150,000 attended the three-day series of concerts – featuring Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Winter and the Rascals among the 33 acts. The producers of Newport '69 spent $11,000 on hurricane fencing and it was this fence that hundreds of people stormed, rather than pay the $7 admission cost.
