The festival was so much larger and more popular than the year before due to the performance of Bob Dylan. He was reluctant to perform his comeback show on this unknown island until the promoters showed him a short video of the Island's cultural and literary heritage. This appealed to Dylan's artistic sensibilities as he was enthusiatic about performing in Tennyson country. Prior to the festival Bob Dylan and The Band rehearsed at Forelands Farm in Bembridge, and were joined by The Beatles minus Paul McCartney.

Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Dizzy Gillespie, Allen Ginsburg, other lesser known local bands, and spur-of-the-moment performers. Artists: Kelley Mouse, Michael Bowen. Photographer: Casey Sonnabend. The location was Golden Gate Park Polo Field.

Concert held in Costa Mesa, California. The cost of the show was $3.75!

Artie Johnson was a stand-up comic of the 60's who's first television appearance was on Rowan and Martin's "Laugh-In".
