While we get the impression that the event looked flooded with artists, in reality, there were just 32 acts planned across the three days. Like most big-ticket concerts, they saved the best for the last – Jimi Hendrix with his band Gypsy Sun. We are pretty sure that those who chose to leave early are still kicking themselves!
Hendrix chose to say goodbye to the attendees in some style and left the 30,000 members mesmerized. And for the performance, the Purple Haze singer was paid almost $18,000 – a sizable sum in those days.
