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.
