This triple album is a compilation release for two major rock festivals held at the start of the 70's in both the U.K and the U.S.
Both 'The Isle Of Wight' and the 'Atlanta Pop Festival' were held at a time when the world was still recovering from 'Woodstock', yet they still managed to become significant events in their own right.

The Isle of Wight concert was the biggest ever festival to be held in the UK . Forty years on, its still not been topped, not by Knebworth , Live Aid , or Reading. No one has even come close to the 600,000 odd figure bandied about in some circles. At least half a million attended, maybe more. It was very badly organised in many respects, such as the relations between the organisers and the bands , the organisers and the audience as well as the actual site location chosen by the promoters.
Selecting a site overlooked by a commodious hill , which afforded non paying squatters a free view of the entire proceedings was not a good move, although we should also remember that this was not their first choice as a site. This fact alone was to give the promoters, the Foulk brothers, endless logistical headaches , as many who might have paid to get inside the arena sat on the hill for the entire week .
The preceding Isle of Wight Festivals, also promoted by the Foulks, had already gained a good reputation in 1968 and 1969 by featuring acts such as Jefferson Airplane, T. Rex, The Move, Pretty Things, Joe Cocker, The Who and Bob Dylan in his first performance since his 1966 motorcycle accident.
The 1970 version, following Wood in the previous year, set out to move one step forward and stockenlisted Jimi Hendrix. With Hendrix confirmed, artists such as Ten Years After, Chicago, The Doors, The Who and Free willingly took up the chance to play there. The event had a magnificent but impractical site, since the prevailing wind blew the sound sideways across the venue, and the sound system had to be augmented by Pink Floyd's PA.
Political and logistical difficulties resulted in the organisers eventually realising that the festival would not make a profit and declaring it to be "a free festival", although the majority of the audience had paid for tickets in advance, and the event was filmed contemporaneously. However, at the time, the commercial failings of the festival ensured it would be the last event of its kind on the Isle of Wight for thirty-two years.
Many of the names on the bill were big, but time has shown that they were not the cream of the crop from the era. Highlights were performances by The Who , Joni Mitchell and Miles Davis . Free, Taste , Family and Jethro Tull were good, but there were also disappointing sets by artists that were not performing at their best , such as The Doors and , sadly, Jimi Hendrix . Most of the rest of the bill were artists that were unsuited for the big outdoors , such as Donovan, Leonard Cohen and Joan Baez, or simply second rate .
If one then adds the logistics of just getting around the arena , to visit the toilets , eat food and get a good view of the stage, it becomes evident that in reality many in the crowd did not see much , hear very well or have a particularly comfortable time.
Still, with such a huge number of attendees, a multitude of events happened that were peripheral to the event itself. A giant inflatable tent played host to a number of bands and provided a diversion for those who could not afford to get into the arena or who had no shelter . A short lived tent city sprang up on Desolation Hill and the great weather ensured that it was possible for hundreds to indulge in nude fun and games on the beach , much to the delight of prurient fleet street reporters who salivated over the prospect of titillating their readers with tales of mass debauchery and drug taking .
Also, on the plus side of things, the sound system was very good , the filming of the event was probably the most comprehensive coverage of any UK rock festival ever undertaken, the weather was unrelentingly and there was some very good music on occasions.

The second Atlanta International Pop Festival was a music festival held at the Middle Georgia Raceway in Byron, Georgia. Originally scheduled for July 3 to July 5, 1970, it did not finish until near dawn on the 6th. It was the only successor to the first Atlanta

This three LP set 'The First Great Rock Festivals of the Seventies' was released by Columbia in 1971 - and is a combination of the Isle of Wight Festival
