Isle Of Wight - 1969

The 1969 Isle of Wight Festival was held on August 30 - August 31, 1969, at Wootton, and attracted an audience of approximately 150,000 to see the acts of Bob Dylan, The Who and Free. It was the second of three music festivals held on the Isle of Wight between 1968 and 1970. Organised by Fiery Creations, aka brothers Ronnie and Ray Foulk, it became a legendary event largely owing to the reappearance of Bob Dylan. The Isle of Wight festival was so much larger and more popular than the year before due to Dylan's performance. He hadn't played publicly for 3 years following a near fatal motorcycle accident, July 1966. The event was well managed and trouble free. Among the 150,000 audience members were John Lennon with Yoko Ono, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Rolling Stones Keith Richards and Bill Wyman, Syd Barrett, Eric Clapton, Elton John and Jane Fonda.
