i deleted Woodstock because it was not a free festival, nor were any of the more recent "Woodstock" concerts...
"...first intentionally free festival..."?[edit]
The article at present claims that the Windsor Free Festival was the "...first intentionally free festival...".
The page also mentions the Glastonbury Free Festival 1971 - which is clearly earlier. (Phun City 1970 is also mentioned, but the article for that explains that it was not originally intended to be free.)
The term Free Festival I think also needs to be more precisely defined before one can claim that there is any such thing as the first of its kind. For example how large does it have to be before being counted? FrankSier (talk) 17:59, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
I'm surprised there's no mention of the song Memory of a Free Festival by David Bowie here. It predates the 1970s. It was written and recorded in September 1969 and references a free festival held at Croydon Road Recreation Ground in Beckenham on 16 August 1969. http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/features/beckenham.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.134.62.174 (talk) 21:12, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
