A lot of canceled festivals here--according to the very reliable Kinks chronology, Mountaindale (July 11) was canceled on one day's notice, due to a Sullivan County restraining order. i guess Powder Ridge was canceled, and I'm pretty sure "Harmonieville" (near Philadelphia) was a no-go as well.

Its interesting that you found incontrovertible evidence of "Woodstock Two." Everyone likes to pretend it didn't happen, since it ruins the narrative. The only group I know that played was Procol Harum, much to their own dismay.
