Description: On 30 January 1969, the Beatles performed an impromptu concert from the rooftop of their Apple Corps headquarters at 3 Savile Row, in central London's office and fashion district. Joined by guest keyboardist Billy Preston, the band played a 42-minute set before the Metropolitan Police arrived and ordered them to reduce the volume.
Description: On September 13 and 14, 1969, a selection of the finest folk singers and musicians in the world convened on the edge of Highway 1 in Big Sur, California for a rather intimate gathering of peace, love, music, and a farewell to summer. Set to a backdrop of some of America’s most glorious scenery, the sixth annual Big Sur Folk Festival continued to be an 'anti-festival festival,' considered by attendees as the antithesis of the more commercial events, though the artists considered it an antidote to them. The non-profit 1969 event maintained the tradition of staying small through minimal advertising. It's estimated that 5,000 paid to enter the festival each day, and another 2,000 or so listened freely by camping along the highway out front.
Description: Opened as the Spectrum in September 1967, Philadelphia's first modern indoor sports arena was built to be the home of the city's expansion hockey team, and also accommodated the existing pro basketball team The building was the second major sports facility built at the south end of Broad Street in an area previously known as East League Island Park, and now referred to simply as the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. Aside from sporting events, decades of concerts were staged at the Spectrum, which was highly praised for its acoustic properties, something that many say can be heard in live recordings made at the venue.
Description: Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions (MMUJC) was a band that played traditional jug band folk music using traditional musical instruments such as guitar, mandolin, and banjo, combined with homemade instruments, including washtub bass, washboard, kazoo, and, eponymously, a jug, played by blowing into it as if it were a brass instrument. MMUJC recorded a single self-titled album live at the Top of the Tangent coffee house in Palo Alto, California in July 1964.
