DescriptionEveryone knows that Woodstock was among the largest gatherings of human beings in one place at one time ever. Well, the U.K.'s Isle of Wight festival in 1970 surpassed Woodstock's attendance by nearly 100,000. Festival organizers were ill prepared for such an influx (the population of the island increased by 600% during the festival), and not surprisingly the show devolved into chaos. Nevertheless, this legendary gig's lineup was quite possibly the greatest collection of talent ever assembled in one place. If you could go back in time and attend one day of this festival, what day would you choose?
