Audience recordings

This is not the complete festival but it has many tracks not on the official and bootleg vinyl LPs, CDs, VHS and DVD releases.

The Holland Pop Festival / Stamping Ground Festival (often called “The Dutch Woodstock”) (in Kralingse Bos, Kralingen, Rotterdam, The Netherlands) was held from Friday June 26 until the early morning of Monday June 29, 1970.

The complete program was as follows:

Friday:

It's A Beautiful Day - Jefferson Airplane - Stone The Crows - Santana - The Flock - Canned Heat - Hot Tuna - Pentangle - Quintessence - East Of Eden (billed but didn’t perform)

Saturday:

The Byrds - Family - Dr. John The Night Tripper - Country Joe McDonald - Tyrannosaurus Rex - Renaissance (billed but didn’t perform) - Third Ear Band - Al Stewart - Supersister - CCC Folk & Blues Inc.

Sunday:

Mungo Jerry - Art Ensemble Of Chicago - John Surman - Han Bennink - Caravan - Fairport Convention - Fotheringay - Soft Machine - Pink Floyd

Several Dutch bands (including Ekseption, Focus and The Oscar Benton Blues Band) also performed, on a smaller stage in the vicinity.

The track listing hereunder is based on what’s mentioned at Discogs, but it has omissions and errors, which I have corrected to the best of my knowledge. More info welcome, including for track A1 which I think is NOT by Hot Tuna.
