50k people attend concert with no live music


I know it sounds unbelievable but it's true. I saw it on T.V. Tonight. It was on CNN and hosted by Lisa Ling. It was called electronic Woodstock. It was on the original grounds of the Woodstock concert. It was a 3 day concert of all pre-recorded music played by disc jockeys. She said that 50k people attended the event.

I always thought you attended a concert for the live music. I guess not anymore.

Thanks for that link, Lowrider. Looks like the answer to my question is, "Not necessarily!"
I'm with Taters on this! I also came of age during the 70s and there were soooo many great bands, alums, and concerts about - it was impossible to see and hear all of them. But I damn sure tried my best and was fortunate to see almost every group I wanted to see. And in most cases the ticket prices were $5.00 or less.

The 1st show I ever saw was Grin (Nils Lofgren) at the Cedar Lane Unitarian Church in Kensington, MD. Tickets were 50 cents each - w00t!! Nils was one year ahead of me in high school and I used to sneak out of class and watch them practice in the gym - what a treat!

One of the greatest shows I ever saw was held at the Orange Bowl near Miami. The lineup included The Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Walsh (pre-Eagles), The Eagles, The Band, and, finally, Leon Russell!!

Talk about a *terrific* show - whoa! Oh yeah, the tickets were about $13 each....[smile]
I seen tons of great rock concerts in the seventies also. Without a doubt,those were great times.....Now... If I could only remember half of them. ;^)
Aolmrd 1241,

Luckily I didn't do drugs at the time. I can remember about 75% of the shows I saw. And I saw over 200 shows.
