Notes
  • LIA adds detail from the 5/30/70 Billboard: "Plans are taking shape for a giant rock concert to be held in Atlanta's Braves Stadium on June 13. The talent line-up includes Grateful Dead, Ike & Tina Turner, Traffic, Stevie Wonder, the Allman Brothers, Albert King, Sweetwater, Ten Years After, Spirit and Sun Country, Love, the Baby. The show is being promoted by Aftermath Productions." He notes "There is also a larger article in the same issue ("Rock Stadium Sets Festival Production," p.22) which goes into detail on the planned festival. However, the list of 10 bands "already lined up" to appear only includes 7 of the same bands (the Dead and Stevie Wonder are not listed; the Mothers of Invention, Mountain, and It's A Beautiful Day are added). This makes me suspect that the promoters were just throwing out possible names and the Dead were only a vague proposition."
