John Morris: 1969 Woodstock Promoter - Epi. 11, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

John Morris shares his experience of being in his twenties
booking The Who, Grateful Dead and The Doors and managing
Woodstock in 1969. How the expected crowd of 50,000 people
swelled to half a million and how he dealt with the bands and
crowds. Dragging The Doors John Morrison off stage after
overdosing to an Emergency Room and paying Jimi Hendrix $35,000
to close Woodstock, managing Paul McCartney before chucking it
all to become a promoter of Indian Art shows in the West are only
a few of the stories told in this most interesting interview.
John Morris lived a hundred lives in one, an amazing recount of
the music scene in the 1960's. This episode is sponsored by
Medicine Man Gallery and  The Charles Bloom Murder Mystery
Series.
