'The  Stamping Ground Festival' from the Kralingen Pop Festival in Rotterdam 1970 - Known as the Dutch Woodstock apparently, and its not hard to see why, from the lineup (Santana, Airplane, Canned Heat) to the candid audience shots (nudity, drugs) it has the same feel as the more famous festival film.
