"Black
Woodstock"; a
1972 concert (and later a
film documentary) put on by
Stax Records as part of the Watts Summer Festival, held to commemorate the Watts Riots. The MC was
Jesse Jackson of Operation PUSH. Performers included
Isaac Hayes,
Rufus Thomas,
The Staple Singers,
Richard Pryor,
Eddie Floyd, Albert King, the Bar-Kays, et al. Attendance at the
Los Angeles Coliseum was about 100,000, but it didn't spawn
pop culture myths and hype the way Yasgur's Farm did.
