1 00:00:01,610 --> 00:00:02,612 - I think it's gonna be the most exciting concert 2 00:00:02,612 --> 00:00:03,347 I've ever been to. 3 00:00:03,347 --> 00:00:05,284 - Yeah! 4 00:00:07,088 --> 00:00:08,490 - I was driving along in my car one day, 5 00:00:08,490 --> 00:00:09,626 listening to the radio, 6 00:00:09,626 --> 00:00:11,997 and, oh, it popped into my head, 7 00:00:11,997 --> 00:00:13,667 it would be so great 8 00:00:13,667 --> 00:00:15,204 to put on one of these Woodstock-type festivals. 9 00:00:15,204 --> 00:00:16,640 - This is the beginning of a new decade. 10 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,081 The end of the me and the beginning of the us. 11 00:00:20,081 --> 00:00:22,552 (upbeat music) 12 00:00:24,356 --> 00:00:26,560 - I wanted a rock and roll festival for a million people. 13 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,530 - This was a huge challenge. 14 00:00:28,530 --> 00:00:30,568 - And I have an awful lot of money 15 00:00:30,568 --> 00:00:33,040 that I really didn't need or ever want. 16 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,509 - He had the vision and the money. 17 00:00:34,509 --> 00:00:36,747 - Money flying around like confetti. 18 00:00:36,747 --> 00:00:38,617 - And the bands were paid more money 19 00:00:38,617 --> 00:00:40,121 than they'd ever been paid. 20 00:00:40,121 --> 00:00:41,523 All we saw was a gig 21 00:00:41,523 --> 00:00:43,127 and everyone's gonna get rich, including us. 22 00:00:43,127 --> 00:00:44,329 - But lo and behold, 23 00:00:44,329 --> 00:00:46,199 that particular gig 24 00:00:46,199 --> 00:00:50,107 was the highest paying gig that we had ever partaken in. 25 00:00:50,107 --> 00:00:51,777 - We know we had to go out there 26 00:00:51,777 --> 00:00:54,182 and prove ourselves in front of all these people. 27 00:00:54,182 --> 00:00:56,386 - You know, the audience was a really big audience. 28 00:00:56,386 --> 00:00:58,190 To the people who were there, 29 00:00:58,190 --> 00:00:59,325 it was huge. 30 00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:00,861 - Bigger than we've ever done. 31 00:01:00,861 --> 00:01:02,632 - Metal heads, punk heads, rock heads, 32 00:01:02,632 --> 00:01:06,540 blues heads, folk heads, there were nerds, geeks. 33 00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:09,345 - We had Tom Petty, we had Fleetwood Mac, 34 00:01:09,345 --> 00:01:12,652 - [Graham] Everything from Jerry Jeff Walker to the Dead 35 00:01:12,652 --> 00:01:15,124 to Buffet and Jackson Brown. 36 00:01:15,124 --> 00:01:17,195 - I especially remember seeing the Ramones 37 00:01:17,195 --> 00:01:18,864 and Talking Heads. 38 00:01:18,864 --> 00:01:21,570 - [Announcer] Pat Benatar, the Cars, the Kinks, Santana. 39 00:01:21,570 --> 00:01:23,140 - I read the books on Woodstock. 40 00:01:23,140 --> 00:01:25,311 Every page was a disaster, it was horror. 41 00:01:25,311 --> 00:01:28,383 - Woodstock wasn't really thought out. 42 00:01:28,383 --> 00:01:29,819 This one was. 43 00:01:29,819 --> 00:01:31,389 - And it's even bigger and better 44 00:01:31,389 --> 00:01:32,925 and more well put together than Woodstock. 45 00:01:32,925 --> 00:01:34,829 - This is fucking amazing. 46 00:01:34,829 --> 00:01:36,466 - This is very special. 47 00:01:36,466 --> 00:01:38,837 It's turning out to be very, very special. 48 00:01:38,837 --> 00:01:41,376 - So it really laid the groundwork for, you know, 49 00:01:41,376 --> 00:01:44,215 a kind of high mark of festivals. 50 00:01:44,215 --> 00:01:47,321 - And all of the Bonaroos and Outside Lands. 51 00:01:47,321 --> 00:01:50,261 - [Man] The Us Festival was really the precursor to that. 52 00:01:50,261 --> 00:01:52,331 The idea that a festival isn't misery. 53 00:01:52,331 --> 00:01:53,700 - I always wished that I was at Woodstock. 54 00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:54,869 Now I can tell my grandchildren 55 00:01:54,869 --> 00:01:56,506 that I was at the Us Festival. 56 00:01:56,506 --> 00:01:58,744 (upbeat music) 57 00:01:58,744 --> 00:01:59,946 - [Graham] I would imagine everybody is having 58 00:01:59,946 --> 00:02:01,816 a very, very good time. 59 00:02:01,816 --> 00:02:03,453 - It should be heralded as 60 00:02:03,453 --> 00:02:06,459 a really important moment in time. 61 00:02:06,459 --> 00:02:08,330 The Us Festival. 62 00:02:08,330 --> 00:02:10,534 We're having a great, great, great weekend of rock and roll. 63 00:02:10,534 --> 00:02:11,670 We love you. 64 00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:13,807 Thank you very much, ciao. 65 00:02:15,377 --> 00:02:17,982 (crowd cheering) 66 00:02:20,654 --> 00:02:23,927 (acoustic guitar music) 67 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,908 - Well, as I recall, Woz sort of had it in stages. 68 00:02:30,908 --> 00:02:33,847 - There was this radio station nearby, KFAT, 69 00:02:33,847 --> 00:02:35,451 playing this type of music 70 00:02:35,451 --> 00:02:36,886 that today would be called Americana 71 00:02:36,886 --> 00:02:38,790 and I'd never really heard this stuff. 72 00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:42,063 - Woz loved KFAT, which was a local radio station 73 00:02:42,063 --> 00:02:45,804 that played alternative country type music. 74 00:02:45,804 --> 00:02:48,343 - It was like Americana, talking about ideas, 75 00:02:48,343 --> 00:02:50,347 stories about people and their real life 76 00:02:50,347 --> 00:02:51,983 and kind of rebellious. 77 00:02:51,983 --> 00:02:54,589 The words had the deep meaning, like old Bob Dylan songs, 78 00:02:54,589 --> 00:02:56,626 which is what Steve Jobs and I fell in love with, 79 00:02:56,626 --> 00:02:59,565 when we were best friends, leading up to Apple computer. 80 00:02:59,565 --> 00:03:01,469 - We had an idea, 81 00:03:01,469 --> 00:03:04,876 because there had never been a festival for that genre, 82 00:03:04,876 --> 00:03:06,746 to have something like that. 83 00:03:06,746 --> 00:03:08,684 - I've got way more money than I need for life 84 00:03:08,684 --> 00:03:10,086 or want for life. 85 00:03:10,086 --> 00:03:11,723 I can actually put out this money 86 00:03:11,723 --> 00:03:13,660 and put on a Woodstock-type show 87 00:03:13,660 --> 00:03:15,531 and I was still very young. 88 00:03:15,531 --> 00:03:17,368 I didn't have any management skills, 89 00:03:17,368 --> 00:03:19,672 I did not know how you would go out and find sites, 90 00:03:19,672 --> 00:03:20,808 how would you rent things, 91 00:03:20,808 --> 00:03:22,077 how do you hire companies, 92 00:03:22,077 --> 00:03:23,980 how do you plan things, 93 00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:26,386 I wouldn't have known how to do any of that stuff. 94 00:03:26,386 --> 00:03:30,594 - And I got a call to put together a strategic work plan 95 00:03:30,594 --> 00:03:34,902 for Wozniak, Woz, who wanted to have 96 00:03:34,902 --> 00:03:37,808 a rock and roll festival for a million people. 97 00:03:37,808 --> 00:03:39,445 I thought okay, set up a meeting, 98 00:03:39,445 --> 00:03:41,583 I'll come and see what's going on. 99 00:03:41,583 --> 00:03:44,555 So, that's how we got involved. 100 00:03:44,555 --> 00:03:48,195 - I was practicing law here in San Jose, 101 00:03:48,195 --> 00:03:52,538 and one of my neighbors was Dr. Peter Ellis. 102 00:03:52,538 --> 00:03:54,442 And Ellis called me up and said, 103 00:03:54,442 --> 00:03:56,980 do you want to be a part of this, it needs lawyering. 104 00:03:56,980 --> 00:03:59,819 I had no idea what it would become 105 00:04:00,921 --> 00:04:03,660 but I'm always up for something. 106 00:04:04,829 --> 00:04:07,835 (rock guitar music) 107 00:04:10,774 --> 00:04:13,078 As you can imagine, we were all wondering 108 00:04:13,078 --> 00:04:15,149 how real this really was. 109 00:04:15,149 --> 00:04:16,953 - John Collins and I were driving up there 110 00:04:16,953 --> 00:04:18,557 and kind of saying to ourselves, 111 00:04:18,557 --> 00:04:20,828 what are we getting into here? 112 00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:22,731 So we go up and we meet. 113 00:04:22,731 --> 00:04:25,971 Woz was at Berkeley under the pseudo name Rocky Clark. 114 00:04:25,971 --> 00:04:28,242 - It seemed like kind of a wild deal. 115 00:04:28,242 --> 00:04:30,647 - I tell him my spiel about we can put a plan together 116 00:04:30,647 --> 00:04:32,116 and it's good to put a plan together. 117 00:04:32,116 --> 00:04:33,954 "I don't need a plan," he says. 118 00:04:33,954 --> 00:04:35,256 He says, "I just want you to go do it." 119 00:04:35,256 --> 00:04:37,561 I go, okay. 120 00:04:37,561 --> 00:04:40,266 - Ellis asked him to put up some money. 121 00:04:40,266 --> 00:04:42,304 - So he walks out to his car to get his checkbook, 122 00:04:42,304 --> 00:04:45,644 he comes back in, and hands John and I a check... 123 00:04:45,644 --> 00:04:47,046 Writes out a check for two million bucks. 124 00:04:47,046 --> 00:04:48,215 This ought to get you started. 125 00:04:48,215 --> 00:04:50,219 - There's these guys that, 126 00:04:50,219 --> 00:04:52,858 two of whom he had never met before that day. 127 00:04:52,858 --> 00:04:54,962 - And I think I presented him, the second time he came up, 128 00:04:54,962 --> 00:04:58,102 presented him a two million dollar check to get started. 129 00:04:58,102 --> 00:05:00,941 - I think we were all kind of stunned, in a way. 130 00:05:00,941 --> 00:05:03,914 - I remember John and I going to the bank the next morning, 131 00:05:03,914 --> 00:05:06,352 before they opened up, and we knocked on the window, 132 00:05:06,352 --> 00:05:08,022 and they're looking like what do these guys want? 133 00:05:08,022 --> 00:05:10,092 And we held up a two million dollar check. 134 00:05:10,092 --> 00:05:12,331 The banker came running out of there. 135 00:05:12,331 --> 00:05:14,769 (laughing) 136 00:05:14,769 --> 00:05:18,108 - And opened the account, check cleared, 137 00:05:18,108 --> 00:05:20,380 and we were off and running. 138 00:05:22,150 --> 00:05:26,359 ("You Really Got Me" by the Kinks) 139 00:05:30,066 --> 00:05:32,103 - So we flew out there 140 00:05:32,103 --> 00:05:35,276 and then we rented a van from the airport to drive there. 141 00:05:35,276 --> 00:05:37,748 So we're driving along, we get to the back, 142 00:05:37,748 --> 00:05:39,652 and then we... 143 00:05:39,652 --> 00:05:41,689 I remember me and Dee Dee walking out to the side 144 00:05:41,689 --> 00:05:43,426 and seeing the audience. 145 00:05:43,426 --> 00:05:44,795 That's a lot of people. 146 00:05:44,795 --> 00:05:46,699 We were amazed. 147 00:05:46,699 --> 00:05:48,970 It was very hard to see the back of the audience, 148 00:05:48,970 --> 00:05:50,874 that's how many people there were. 149 00:05:50,874 --> 00:05:52,711 And that was definitely, by far, 150 00:05:52,711 --> 00:05:56,819 the biggest audience we played in front of in America. 151 00:05:56,819 --> 00:05:59,392 So, it was something else. 152 00:05:59,392 --> 00:06:01,763 Yeah! 153 00:06:01,763 -->

little curious to see what we were about. 163 00:06:28,516 --> 00:06:31,021 Not everybody, really, at that point, 164 00:06:31,021 --> 00:06:33,426 had heard of us or knew about us. 165 00:06:33,426 --> 00:06:35,931 - Our type of music, I don't think we really... 166 00:06:35,931 --> 00:06:40,540 Is good for transforming large crowds to our way, you know? 167 00:06:40,540 --> 00:06:45,015 Punk rock was around for about three or four years already 168 00:06:45,015 --> 00:06:46,919 but not really in the mainstream. 169 00:06:46,919 --> 00:06:49,157 So we were very grateful 170 00:06:49,157 --> 00:06:52,063 that the audience liked what we did. 171 00:06:52,063 --> 00:06:56,506 We solidified the punk sound and the energy. 172 00:06:56,506 --> 00:06:58,977 Not too many people could do that. 173 00:06:58,977 --> 00:07:01,081 It was a rapid fire, 174 00:07:01,081 --> 00:07:03,252 one, two, three, four, 175 00:07:03,252 --> 00:07:05,122 for that long. 176 00:07:05,122 --> 00:07:07,861 That particular show, we knew we had to go out there 177 00:07:07,861 --> 00:07:10,099 and prove ourselves in front of all these people. 178 00:07:10,099 --> 00:07:11,201 And we did. 179 00:07:11,201 --> 00:07:13,105 After that show, 180 00:07:13,105 --> 00:07:16,011 we were taken aback, we were very effected by it, 181 00:07:16,011 --> 00:07:17,915 just because of the sheer size of it, 182 00:07:17,915 --> 00:07:21,154 the temperature, the set up, the tents, 183 00:07:21,154 --> 00:07:24,194 the professionalism of the sound. 184 00:07:24,194 --> 00:07:28,536 We were very grateful to have been asked to play that show. 185 00:07:28,536 --> 00:07:31,007 It just seemed to me that everyone just had a great time. 186 00:07:31,007 --> 00:07:33,378 Will that ever happen again, who knows?

the best night. 190 00:07:40,459 --> 00:07:42,363 It's great being in the company of the B-52's 191 00:07:42,363 --> 00:07:44,969 the Talking Heads, and the Police, and everybody else. 192 00:07:44,969 --> 00:07:47,541 I think it's a great American show, you know what I mean? 193 00:07:47,541 --> 00:07:52,551 Rock and roll was born here and this is the place for it. 194 00:07:53,653 -->

--> 00:08:27,253 - This is a celebration of song. 205 00:08:27,253 --> 00:08:29,758 UNUSON stands for Unite Us in Song. 206 00:08:29,758 --> 00:08:31,662 That's what we're all about. 207 00:08:31,662 --> 00:08:33,566 I hope to see a lot of smiles. 208 00:08:33,566 --> 00:08:35,670 - The US Festival concept 209 00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:38,175 was the idea of community 210 00:08:38,175 --> 00:08:41,181 and the idea that technology's gonna make us a community. 211 00:08:41,181 --> 00:08:43,085 - Not only something for music, 212 00:08:43,085 --> 00:08:45,590 but I think Peter was the one who expanded it into 213 00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:50,600 social good and connecting the USSR and America 214 00:08:52,203 --> 00:08:54,808 and having technology exhibit as part of it, 215 00:08:54,808 --> 00:08:57,513 and Woz was very excited about all those ideas. 216 00:08:57,513 --> 00:08:58,649 - So it was more than the music. 217 00:08:58,649 --> 00:09:00,553 It wasn't for good music. 218 00:09:00,553 --> 00:09:03,191 It was for people coming, driving from all 50 states. 219 00:09:03,191 --> 00:09:04,628 I guess you don't drive from Hawaii, 220 00:09:04,628 --> 00:09:07,199 but people showing up, camping out, 221 00:09:07,199 --> 00:09:09,671 camping out with their little campers, meeting other people 222 00:09:09,671 --> 00:09:11,809 and sharing that experience for three days. 223 00:09:11,809 --> 00:09:13,713 So it's the center of an experience. 224 00:09:13,713 --> 00:09:16,819 - I could tell that he was driven 225 00:09:16,819 --> 00:09:21,227 by a huge sense of passion with what he was doing. 226 00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:23,131 - He had the vision and the money. 227 00:09:23,131 --> 00:09:26,304 And the opportunity arose and he took it. 228 00:09:26,304 --> 00:09:28,241 And he made his move. 229 00:09:28,241 --> 00:09:30,279 - There was a rumor backstage 230 00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:32,149 that there was some higher motive, 231 00:09:32,149 --> 00:09:34,822 some unite-us-all-in-song thing going on. 232 00:09:34,822 --> 00:09:37,594 - That unite-us-in-song was a very great aspect of that, 233 00:09:37,594 --> 00:09:39,698 because it's just thinking positively 234 00:09:39,698 --> 00:09:44,207 and how music can create this worldwide, positive vibe, 235 00:09:44,207 --> 00:09:46,812 was a great thing, a great idea. 236 00:09:46,812 --> 00:09:49,918 More than jus a concert, more than just a party. 237 00:09:49,918 --> 00:09:52,624 - In all of the chaos, 238 00:09:52,624 --> 00:09:55,195 I remember that very profoundly. 239 00:09:55,195 --> 00:09:59,570 - The us is great, instead of the me and the I. 240 00:09:59,570 --> 00:10:03,178 It was us, it was about everybody. 241 00:10:03,178 --> 00:10:05,717 And that's what I liked about it. 242 00:10:05,717 --> 00:10:09,390 And then eventually came the me generation. 243 00:10:12,731 --> 00:10:14,400 ♪ Sooner or later 244 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,404 ♪ Your legs give way, you hit the ground ♪ 245

recollection was, 255 00:10:42,958 --> 00:10:45,362 that in the initial discussions, 256 00:10:45,362 --> 00:10:46,899 it was made pretty clear to us 257 00:10:46,899 --> 00:10:49,303 that this was not an Apple deal. 258 00:10:49,303 --> 00:10:51,040 It was a Wozniak deal. 259 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,011 - I did not approach anyone at Apple about these ideas. 260 00:10:53,011 --> 00:10:55,717 It was just all independent, on my own. 261 00:10:55,717 --> 00:10:57,854 It was like, here we had Apple, 262 00:10:57,854 --> 00:10:59,557 and I'd had a divorce, 263 00:10:59,557 --> 00:11:01,662 and I had an awful lot of money 264 00:11:01,662 --> 00:11:03,632 that I really didn't need or ever want. 265 00:11:03,632 --> 00:11:05,402 This is a big risk, it's totally unknown. 266 00:11:05,402 --> 00:11:07,774 A huge sacrifice, a personal sacrifice, 267 00:11:07,774 --> 00:11:09,778 and there's no way to predict. 268 00:11:09,778 --> 00:11:11,949 Does it fall flat on its face and bring back zero 269 00:11:11,949 --> 00:11:13,886 or does it make a good profit? 270 00:11:13,886 --> 00:11:16,658 - Then there was absolutely no discussion of Steve Jobs. 271 00:11:16,658 --> 00:11:17,794 - I did this totally on my own, 272 00:11:17,794 --> 00:11:18,929 I never called people at Apple, 273 00:11:18,929 --> 00:11:19,931 I never called Steve Jobs. 274 00:11:19,931 --> 00:11:22,704 - I met Jobs twice 275 00:11:22,704 --> 00:11:25,342 when I was with Wozniak. 276 00:11:25,342 --> 00:11:27,981 And he was pretty angry at him 277 00:11:27,981 --> 00:11:30,385 for doing this US Festival. 278

288 00:12:04,687 --> 00:12:07,126 - One of my first tasks was to secure a land site 289 00:12:07,126 --> 00:12:08,996 for the US Festival. 290 00:12:08,996 --> 00:12:12,069 - The Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino County, 291 00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:14,707 sat pretty close to the intersection 292 00:12:14,707 --> 00:12:18,047 of the 10 and the 15 out there, 293 00:12:18,047 --> 00:12:21,087 so it had the possibility to bring a lot of people there. 294 00:12:21,087 --> 00:12:24,493 - Everybody had still on their mind the Altamont 295 00:12:24,493 --> 00:12:26,899 from the fiasco that happened here in Northern California, 296 00:12:26,899 --> 00:12:28,735 so every county we went into 297 00:12:28,735 --> 00:12:31,674 to start talking to them about a rock festival 298 00:12:31,674 --> 00:12:33,879 for a million people, they freaked out. 299 00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:36,117 - I'm prepared to listen to your concerns 300 00:12:36,117 --> 00:12:37,887 and respond to them where I can. 301 00:12:37,887 --> 00:12:40,125 - You've got nothing but punk rockers, 302 00:12:40,125 --> 00:12:42,129 who are probably the most dangerous group of people 303 00:12:42,129 --> 00:12:43,999 in this country. 304 00:12:43,999 --> 00:12:45,970 - A county in California, San Bernardino county, 305 00:12:45,970 --> 00:12:47,841 that was sort of in bad troubles, 306 00:12:47,841 --> 00:12:49,911 and they wanted the money and they were positive-minded, 307 00:12:49,911 --> 00:12:51,815 and we had somebody in the highway patrol, 308 00:12:51,815 --> 00:12:54,053 Arnie Zink, that was willing to help the highway patrol 309 00:12:54,053 --> 00:12:56,557 to make this work, the sheriffs were behind us. 310 00:12:56,557 --> 00:13:00,565 Once we had that consortium of local public officials 311 00:13:00,565 --> 00:13:01,835 that were actually behind this thing, 312 00:13:01,835 --> 00:13:03,238 everything was accomplished. 313 00:13:03,238 --> 00:13:05,175 - With the work that UNUSON is doing, 314 00:13:05,175 --> 00:13:10,118 we will have, probably, the premier, major concert area 315 00:13:11,187 --> 00:13:12,857 in the entire United States. 316 00:13:12,857 --> 00:13:14,760 - Up until then, it was something that was like, 317 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,130 well, maybe we're gonna do this, maybe we're not. 318 00:13:16,130 --> 00:13:17,566 Because if we can't find a venue, 319 00:13:17,566 --> 00:13:19,236 we're gonna pull the plug. 320 00:13:19,236 --> 00:13:21,007 - We managed to get it through the Board of Supervisors. 321 00:13:21,007 --> 00:13:22,609 And they approved it. 322 00:13:22,609 --> 00:13:25,248 - Once we signed, we thought, oh yikes, man, 323 00:13:25,248 --> 00:13:26,584 we're in for it. 324 00:13:26,584 --> 00:13:29,123 This is gonna be difficult. 325 00:13:29,123 --> 00:13:31,995 (punk rock music) 326 00:13:36,637 --> 00:13:39,978 - That was the most exciting thing, actually, of all, 327 00:13:39,978 --> 00:13:42,716 going in on the helicopter and looking down on the desert, 328 00:13:42,716 --> 00:13:44,787 and just seeing all these people, 329 00:13:44,787 --> 00:13:46,724 and it was amazing. 330 00:13:46,724 --> 00:13:50,732 The stage and the people, it was a quite exciting event. 331 00:13:50,732 --> 00:13:53,671 Bigger than we had ever done. 332 00:13:53,671 --> 00:13:55,075 - We'll just try to make it 333 00:13:55,075 --> 00:13:56,744 like we're playing for 800 people 334 00:13:56,744 --> 00:13:59,049 instead of 80 thousand or a hundred thousand. 335 00:13:59,049 --> 00:14:01,420 Just try to make it like you're playing for 336 00:14:01,420 --> 00:14:03,892 whatever, size, a small hall or something. 337 00:14:03,892 --> 00:14:05,896 We try to put on an intimate show, anyway, 338 00:14:05,896 --> 00:14:07,699 even if it isn't that intimate, 339 00:14:07,699 --> 00:14:10,873 but just try to keep the same feel to it. 340 00:14:10,873 --> 00:14:13,077 - I remember, we just went out of the gate 341 00:14:13,077 --> 00:14:17,019 and we went a hundred percent, a hundred and ten percent, 342 00:14:17,019 --> 00:14:19,256 fast songs, one after the other, 343 00:14:19,256 --> 00:14:21,160 and it was pretty intense. 344 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,833 And the heat only added to the intensity, I think. 345 00:14:24,833 --> 00:14:27,974 And we did Mesopotamia and songs from the first two albums, 346 00:14:27,974 --> 00:14:30,345 and Mesopotamia, which David Byrne had produced, 347 00:14:30,345 --> 00:14:31,882 Mesopotamia so... 348 00:14:33,251 --> 00:14:34,420 ♪ It's swooping from the branch

--> 00:15:00,105 so we did some new material. 362 00:15:00,105 --> 00:15:03,211 That was kind of a radical, jazzy, kind of fun, 363 00:15:03,211 --> 00:15:06,952 you know, jazz-meets-new-wave kind of a song. 364 00:15:06,952 --> 00:15:09,890 We had a very unselfconscious development 365 00:15:09,890 --> 00:15:11,827 as far as our look. 366 00:15:11,827 --> 00:15:15,936 It was just thrift stores, kind of Fellini inspired, 367 00:15:15,936 --> 00:15:17,472 very Fellini inspired. 368 00:15:17,472 --> 00:15:19,343 And I had this wig, 369 00:15:19,343 --> 00:15:22,482 I called it Bubbles, because it had two... 370 00:15:22,482 --> 00:15:25,488 I think it had three tiers of bubbles 371 00:15:25,488 --> 00:15:27,325 and it kind of went up like that. 372 00:15:27,325 --> 00:15:29,429 And, of course, the music was also influenced 373 00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:31,867 by a little surf guitar, early rock, 374 00:15:31,867 --> 00:15:34,039 all sorts of influences. 375 00:15:34,039 --> 00:15:38,381 I don't really have any sense that we were on fire that day. 376 00:15:38,381 --> 00:15:40,018 - They burned down the... 377 00:15:40,018 --> 00:15:41,020 That was their day. 378

00:19:48,747 --> 00:19:50,584 This was like a really special event. 440 00:19:50,584 --> 00:19:51,987 So it was amazing. 441 00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:57,899 ♪ This ain't no party 442 00:19:57,899 -->

got all this planning that's on track to a festival, 453 00:20:38,847 --> 00:20:40,951 on a certain date, we need some groups. 454 00:20:40,951 --> 00:20:43,189 Bill Graham is the most notable one 455 00:20:43,189 --> 00:20:44,759 and I've always admired him. 456 00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:48,834 - So Bill came on, maybe six months before, 457 00:20:48,834 --> 00:20:50,938 with starting to help book the bands. 458 00:20:50,938 --> 00:20:52,608 - So I wanted to hire Bill Graham, 459 00:20:52,608 --> 00:20:55,514 we made the phone calls and it got arranged. 460 00:20:55,514 --> 00:20:57,184 - A lot of the musicians really liked him a lot 461 00:20:57,184 --> 00:21:00,023 and, I think he was the guy to go to. 462 00:21:00,023 --> 00:21:03,664 - The fact that Bill Graham was brought in 463 00:21:03,664 --> 00:21:08,674 made a lot of sense, in terms of the vision of Steven, 464 00:21:10,277 --> 00:21:13,216 to have something that was eclectic and ground-breaking. 465 00:21:13,216 --> 00:21:14,886 - So we got this phone call, 466 00:21:14,886 --> 00:21:17,592 and another fellow and I started negotiating 467 00:21:17,592 --> 00:21:19,729 with the people at UNUSON 468 00:21:20,998 --> 00:21:22,602 to do this thing called the US Festival, 469 00:21:22,602 --> 00:21:24,973 which didn't exist, there is no US Festival. 470 00:21:24,973 --> 00:21:27,210 - The amount of work that had to be done 471 00:21:27,210 --> 00:21:30,250 was just absolutely phenomenal. 472 00:21:30,250 --> 00:21:33,189 - Several of us flew down to the site. 473 00:21:33,189 --> 00:21:36,596 We show up at the site, and I went, 474 00:21:36,596 --> 00:21:38,300 where are people gonna go? 475 00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:40,136 He goes, look it's just this natural amphitheater, 476 00:21:40,136 --> 00:21:41,973 it's perfect. 477 00:21:41,973 --> 00:21:43,242 - We weren't in a facility that had been built, 478 00:21:43,242 --> 00:21:45,079 with walls and ceilings, 479 00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:48,085 we were just out in an open and huge park. 480 00:21:48,085 --> 00:21:50,791 - Well, this natural amphitheater had boulders, 481 00:21:50,791 --> 00:21:53,095 there was no grass, and I went, 482 00:21:53,095 --> 00:21:54,999 you're crazy. 483 00:21:54,999 --> 00:21:58,205 Where are people gonna sit, where are people gonna be? 484 00:21:58,205 --> 00:22:02,113 And they said, what do you need to have happen? 485 00:22:02,113 --> 00:22:05,153 And I'm thinking these guys are really out of their minds. 486 00:22:05,153 --> 00:22:08,894 You need to really develop a bowl. 487 00:22:08,894 --> 00:22:11,399 So I go away, thinking I don't even know 488 00:22:11,399 --> 00:22:13,069 if this show's gonna happen. 489 00:22:13,069 --> 00:22:15,708 - The county wanted us to move, I don't know, 490 00:22:15,708 --> 00:22:18,012 360 thousand cubic yards of dirt. 491 00:22:18,012 --> 00:22:21,853 - Four weeks later, they said why don't you come down again. 492 00:22:21,853 --> 00:22:26,796 And I come down, and there is more earth-moving, 493 00:22:26,796 --> 00:22:30,904 heavy equipment than you have ever seen in your whole life. 494 00:22:30,904 --> 00:22:33,209 - [Collins] We moved hundreds of thousands 495 00:22:33,209 --> 00:22:36,416 of cubic yards of dirt to form an amphitheater. 496 00:22:36,416 --> 00:22:39,121 - We spent about $10 million just grooming land 497 00:22:39,121 --> 00:22:42,395 into an amphitheater that would have decent viewability 498 00:22:42,395 --> 00:22:44,331 and usability for the event. 499 00:22:44,331 --> 00:22:47,938 - This thing is a massive operation, they've actually moved, 500 00:22:47,938 --> 00:22:51,245 they tore out half of that hill so this will look this way 501 00:22:51,245 --> 00:22:52,815 and smooth this over. 502 00:22:52,815 --> 00:22:54,251 They've been here for months 503 00:22:54,251 --> 00:22:56,255 and I was only here once, months ago. 504 00:22:56,255 --> 00:22:59,361 - And they built this beautiful, beautiful 505 00:22:59,361 --> 00:23:02,033 giant amphitheater against the hills. 506 00:23:02,033 --> 00:23:04,371 And that's why it looks the way it does today. 507 00:23:04,371 --> 00:23:07,445 And that was sort of the beginning of me realizing 508 00:23:07,445 --> 00:23:11,986 these guys are gonna do what it takes to do it right. 509 00:23:12,888 --> 00:23:15,226 (drum music) 510 00:23:20,871 --> 00:23:23,977 - We got there in helicopters. 511 00:23:23,977 --> 00:23:26,181 Because we were just coming out of Los Angeles. 512 00:23:26,181 --> 00:23:28,820 And so we fly in, and we can see, and it's early afternoon, 513 00:23:28,820 --> 00:23:30,424 hadn't even really filled up yet, 514 00:23:30,424 --> 00:23:33,797 but it was pretty huge, the audience already, 515 00:23:33,797 --> 00:23:35,434 and so as we circled around and came around, 516 00:23:35,434 --> 00:23:37,036 and landed backstage... 517 00:23:37,036 --> 00:23:38,807 I've actually got the shot on my Super 8 518 00:23:38,807 --> 00:23:40,911 of that crowd there. 519 00:23:40,911 --> 00:23:43,082 We land, and it was, I think, 520 00:23:43,082 --> 00:23:45,521 just the end of Oingo Boingo's set. 521 00:23:45,521 --> 00:23:47,190 And I ran up to the stage, 522 00:23:47,190 --> 00:23:50,430 and shot their crew breaking them down. 523 00:23:50,430 --> 00:23:52,367 And although it was a really long day, 524 00:23:52,367 --> 00:23:55,974 longer than usual for us, of waiting for the other bands 525 00:23:55,974 --> 00:23:59,615 and seeing the parties break out in their dressing rooms, 526 00:23:59,615 --> 00:24:01,586 we played a pretty good show that night, I think. 527 00:24:01,586 --> 00:24:03,222 Like all the bands on that show, 528 00:24:03,222 --> 00:24:06,028 we were mid-tour, we were already touring, 529 00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:08,098 we were already whip cracking hot. 530 00:24:08,098 --> 00:24:10,871 When you're on tour, your act is very solid. 531 00:24:10,871 --> 00:24:13,309 And when we hit that show, 532 00:24:13,309 --> 00:24:15,246 we were really in our stride. 533 00:24:15,246 --> 00:24:16,616 - It was certainly the biggest crowd 534 00:24:16,616 --> 00:24:18,285 that I think the Police had played to. 535 00:24:18,285 --> 00:24:20,156 - One of the biggest show ever, I think. 536 00:24:20,156 --> 00:24:22,060 You know, the audience was a really big audience. 537 00:24:22,060 --> 00:24:23,429 You know they're there. 538 00:24:23,429 --> 00:24:25,066 You can feel them. 539 00:24:25,066 --> 00:24:26,903 - At the end of the show, I went onstage, 540 00:24:26,903 --> 00:24:28,405 when they were doing the last number, 541 00:24:28,405 --> 00:24:32,247 and the crowd was going mad, and the full impact 542 00:24:32,247 --> 00:24:34,117 of what it was to be involved with the Police 543 00:24:34,117 --> 00:24:35,921 really hit me hard that night. 544 00:24:35,921 --> 00:24:37,357 - We had a feeling when we came off that 545 00:24:37,357 --> 00:24:38,660 that was a particularly big show, 546 00:24:38,660 --> 00:24:40,463 and that was a particularly big event, 547 00:24:40,463 --> 00:24:43,269 we had particularly scorched Southern California 548 00:24:43,269 --> 00:24:44,538 after that show. 549 00:24:44,538 --> 00:24:48,012 (guitar and horn intro) 550 00:24:50,550 --> 00:24:53,188 ♪ I called you so many times today ♪ 551

We're gonna ask you for a favor on the way out, 703 00:32:17,075 --> 00:32:18,478 if you could help us clean this joint up, 704 00:32:18,478 --> 00:32:20,148 if you could help us with that, 705 00:32:20,148 --> 00:32:22,052 it'll be much more pleasant in the morning. 706 00:32:22,052 --> 00:32:24,623 - So the cool thing to do in a big festival like that, 707 00:32:24,623 --> 00:32:28,164 is have some other sucker close the show. 708 00:32:29,533 --> 00:32:32,005 (drum solo) 709 00:32:34,376 --> 00:32:37,149 (country guitar music) 710 00:32:37,149 --> 00:32:41,557 - Actually, he managed me from the time I got signed in 1976 711 00:32:41,557 --> 00:32:44,096 until his untimely death in that helicopter crash, 712 00:32:44,096 --> 00:32:45,665 but he was like a second dad to me. 713 00:32:45,665 --> 00:32:48,471 - Of course, you know he was chased out of Europe 714 00:32:48,471 --> 00:32:51,410 by the Nazis and he escaped all of that horror. 715 00:32:51,410 --> 00:32:55,452 - And he walked out of Russia or Poland with 200 kids 716 00:32:55,452 --> 00:32:57,956 and half of them didn't make it to Paris. 717 00:32:57,956 --> 00:33:00,962 - So Bill was, he was a knock around kind of guy 718 00:33:00,962 --> 00:33:04,603 and he didn't, he brought that into his work 719 00:33:04,603 --> 00:33:06,974 and he offended a lot of people. 720 00:33:06,974 --> 00:33:11,050 He had his flaws, but that's what also made him singular. 721 00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:13,087 - I was a big fan of Bill Graham's 722 00:33:13,087 --> 00:33:15,458 because I grew up in the Fillmore. 723 00:33:15,458 --> 00:33:17,095 - And I've always admired him. 724 00:33:17,095 --> 00:33:19,266 Going to his concerts, hearing him speak, even, 725 00:33:19,266 --> 00:33:22,306 to the concert goers, you know where his mind is at. 726 00:33:22,306 --> 00:33:27,316 - You knew that he was rooting for a great show, 727 00:33:29,053 --> 00:33:30,488 which meant he was rooting, basically, for you. 728 00:33:30,488 --> 00:33:32,659 - And so he comes back from taking great pride 729 00:33:32,659 --> 00:33:36,267 in bringing people into an environment, 730 00:33:36,267 --> 00:33:38,037 making them feel really great, 731 00:33:38,037 --> 00:33:39,707 and then sending them home safe. 732 00:33:39,707 --> 00:33:43,114 - And more than anything else, safe, efficient shows. 733 00:33:43,114 --> 00:33:44,350 They ran on time. 734 00:33:44,350 --> 00:33:46,253 They were machine-like. 735 00:33:46,253 --> 00:33:50,095 - He was like the ultimate godfather of rock and roll, 736 00:33:50,095 --> 00:33:54,636 and it's his way or that's it. 737 00:33:54,636 --> 00:33:58,444 - He ran a tight ship, but he was a real pussy cat, 738 00:33:58,444 --> 00:34:00,548 he had a heart of gold, he really did. 739 00:34:00,548 --> 00:34:02,452 - No one could do it like Bill. 740 00:34:02,452 --> 00:34:04,356 He had class. 741 00:34:04,356 --> 00:34:06,694 - You want the best show, I'll give you the best show. 742 00:34:06,694 --> 00:34:08,731 - He really cared, he would sit up at night 743 00:34:08,731 --> 00:34:10,635 and dream this stuff. 744 00:34:10,635 --> 00:34:12,706 It wasn't like he just went to work and punched the clock. 745 00:34:12,706 --> 00:34:14,109 Bill was driven. 746 00:34:14,109 --> 00:34:16,414 - He was the ringmaster. 747 00:34:16,414 --> 00:34:20,155 The only thing he didn't wear was a top hat. 748 00:34:23,261 --> 00:34:26,267 (electric guitar music) 749 00:34:26,267 --> 00:34:29,640 - I wouldn't really say that UNUSON or the US Festival 750 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,247 had that much of Apple's culture or spirit. 751 00:34:33,247 --> 00:34:35,418 But I would say that it had this spirit... 752 00:34:35,418 --> 00:34:38,591 The common element is the spirit of Steve Wozniak. 753 00:34:38,591 --> 00:34:41,664 - You know, here we had this wonderful guy 754 00:34:41,664 --> 00:34:46,173 in Steve Wozniak, who was a visionary, who was a sweet man. 755 00:34:46,173 --> 00:34:47,509 He is a sweet man. 756 00:34:47,509 --> 00:34:50,148 - He was such a beautiful, kind fellow. 757 00:34:50,148 --> 00:34:51,851 Real happy. 758 00:34:51,851 --> 00:34:54,189 - All that spirit is a big part of the spirit of Apple, 759 00:34:54,189 --> 00:34:57,662 and it's also the inspiration and the starting point 760 00:34:57,662 --> 00:34:59,333 for the US Festival. 761 00:34:59,333 --> 00:35:02,372 - And then you had Bill, Bill Graham. 762 00:35:02,372 --> 00:35:05,578 Maniacal, passion, tough. 763 00:35:05,578 --> 00:35:07,582 - If you weren't a close friend of his, 764 00:35:07,582 --> 00:35:09,286 you wouldn't really like him. 765 00:35:09,286 --> 00:35:10,755 He was one of those kind of guys. 766 00:35:10,755 --> 00:35:13,294 Bill Graham was a very tough cookie. 767 00:35:13,294 --> 00:35:16,233 He liked to do things his way. 768 00:35:16,233 --> 00:35:18,571 - So you got Bill on one hand, 769 00:35:18,571 --> 00:35:20,375 you got Steve on the other, 770 00:35:20,375 --> 00:35:23,447 and realize, no one's thinking about this right now. 771 00:35:23,447 --> 00:35:25,652 - Two people who are highly successful, 772 00:35:25,652 --> 00:35:26,854 from very different worlds. 773 00:35:26,854 --> 00:35:30,395 - It was really a culture clash, 774 00:35:30,395 --> 00:35:34,670 on the festival, between the UNUSON Group and Bill. 775 00:35:34,670 --> 00:35:36,974 - Yeah, I decided, well, I was putting on the show 776 00:35:36,974 --> 00:35:39,580 and so I would have some special access, 777 00:35:39,580 --> 00:35:41,784 backstage access, for friends of mine. 778 00:35:41,784 --> 00:35:44,021 Especially any Apple employees that were coming. 779 00:35:44,021 --> 00:35:47,796 - If someone says to him, you can only have 100 passes, 780 00:35:47,796 --> 00:35:49,633 the first thing he's gonna do 781 00:35:49,633 --> 00:35:52,606 is go and mass produce a whole lot more 782 00:35:52,606 --> 00:35:55,445 and have fun out of the situation. 783 00:35:55,445 --> 00:35:57,415 So he thinks it's a game. 784 00:35:57,415 --> 00:35:59,753 - And then I just used my own home printer 785 00:35:59,753 --> 00:36:02,425 and I did a little format and I could type in their name 786 00:36:02,425 --> 00:36:04,830 and then it would print out a golden pass for them. 787 00:36:04,830 --> 00:36:07,836 A golden backstage pass and that was a Woz pass. 788 00:36:07,836 --> 00:36:10,808 - What essentially would be a ticket to get us into 789 00:36:10,808 --> 00:36:12,912 all three days of the US Festival, 790 00:36:12,912 --> 00:36:15,083 but it also had this special quality 791 00:36:15,083 --> 00:36:17,087 of getting us backstage. 792 00:36:18,357 --> 00:36:20,428 So that was pretty exciting. 793 00:36:20,428 --> 00:36:22,632 - He didn't understand this concept of 794 00:36:22,632 --> 00:36:24,770 the artists need their space. 795 00:36:24,770 --> 00:36:26,674 - [Sherry] He was paying for this festival, 796 00:36:26,674 --> 00:36:28,377 and as far as he was concerned, 797 00:36:28,377 --> 00:36:31,450 I can go anywhere with my hundreds of friends. 798 00:36:31,450 --> 00:36:33,119 It's my party, I paid for it. 799 00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:35,658 Well, that's not what happens in rock and roll. 800 00:36:35,658 --> 00:36:38,731 - They were all around Woz like bees around honey. 801 00:36:38,731 --> 00:36:40,635 And there was hundreds of them. 802 00:36:40,635 --> 00:36:43,941 - He became extremely aware of the pecking order backstage, 803 00:36:43,941 --> 00:36:48,384 of Bill Graham and the rock stars versus the roadies 804 00:36:48,384 --> 00:36:50,855 and it was very status conscious. 805 00:36:50,855 --> 00:36:54,095 And in particular, we, the people with the gold passes, 806 00:36:54,095 --> 00:36:57,836 were considered by the crew to be the lowest status of all. 807 00:36:57,836 --> 00:37:01,042 - And they were a particular irritant to Bill. 808 00:37:01,042 --> 00:37:04,616 Because they felt like they owned the festival. 809 00:37:04,616 --> 00:37:06,520 - They didn't want us there. 810 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,926 Woz, that rich guy, is letting his friends get in our way. 811 00:37:09,926 --> 00:37:11,964 - And Bill's all ugh. 812 00:37:11,964 --> 00:37:13,834 - I realize they have to control it, 813 00:37:13,834 --> 00:37:15,905 they can't have everybody running around, 814 00:37:15,905 --> 00:37:17,575 a million people backstage, 815 00:37:17,575 --> 00:37:20,481 but he created a lot of hard feelings 816 00:37:20,481 --> 00:37:22,184 between our staff and his staff. 817 00:37:22,184 --> 00:37:23,788 - The UNUSON people and us, 818 00:37:23,788 --> 00:37:24,790 we were banging heads all the time. 819 00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:26,660 It was a cultural clash. 820 00:37:26,660 --> 00:37:29,633 - Wozniak probably didn't realize all of those dynamics, 821 00:37:29,633 --> 00:37:32,872 but it was too far done for him to back out. 822 00:37:32,872 --> 00:37:34,709 - Well, backstage, obviously, 823 00:37:34,709 --> 00:37:36,914 Steve was treated like the king. 824 00:37:36,914 --> 00:37:39,920 It was his festival, Bill Graham realized that. 825 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,690 - But what was true, 826 00:37:41,690 --> 00:37:44,796 was that Woz had a sofa on the stage, 827 00:37:44,796 --> 00:37:46,934 that he had these poser platforms, 828 00:37:46,934 --> 00:37:48,102 that's where you could look down on the stage, 829 00:37:48,102 --> 00:37:50,006 it was an enormous stage. 830 00:37:50,006 --> 00:37:52,044 - As I remember it, he was on a sofa or something. 831 00:37:52,044 --> 00:37:54,516 He sat there on the side of the stage with his family 832 00:37:54,516 --> 00:37:55,651 and all his friends. 833 00:37:55,651 --> 00:37:57,054 And that was totally cool. 834 00:37:57,054 --> 00:37:58,624 - Actually, I'm very thankful to Bill Graham 835 00:37:58,624 --> 00:38:01,195 for providing this spot. 836 00:38:01,195 --> 00:38:02,866 It's great. 837 00:38:02,866 --> 00:38:04,936 - I remember, at one point, it got so bad 838 00:38:04,936 --> 00:38:06,540 he's telling his people 839 00:38:06,540 --> 00:38:09,245 don't recognize the UNUSON all area passes. 840 00:38:09,245 --> 00:38:11,583 - What they would do to get access to the stage 841 00:38:11,583 --> 00:38:13,320 or something, you'd have to have a colored dot 842 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,990 that was right for that day. 843 00:38:14,990 --> 00:38:16,927 It might be a blue dot or a pink dot. 844 00:38:16,927 --> 00:38:19,900 - But as soon as security would change the pass, 845 00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:21,303 it would be counterfeited. 846 00:38:21,303 --> 00:38:24,041 I mean, within seconds, it was unbelievable. 847 00:38:24,041 --> 00:38:27,615 - Well, one of out guys snatched up one of their passes 848 00:38:27,615 --> 00:38:29,251 and of course, we had the technology 849 00:38:29,251 --> 00:38:31,924 to have these things duplicated within an hour. 850 00:38:31,924 --> 00:38:35,096 - And so he kept up with us changing the passes. 851 00:38:35,096 --> 00:38:36,700 - And somebody in our group 852 00:38:36,700 --> 00:38:38,269 ran down to a local stationery store 853 00:38:38,269 --> 00:38:40,641 and bought all the colors of dots they had. 854 00:38:40,641 --> 00:38:42,745 So we would cover up our little golden passes 855 00:38:42,745 --> 00:38:44,181 with the dots sometimes. 856 00:38:44,181 --> 00:38:47,822 - It was a counterfeit operation of Wozniak's. 857 00:38:47,822 --> 00:38:49,826 It was a whole set-up and they were making them 858 00:38:49,826 --> 00:38:51,295 as quick as we were changing them. 859 00:38:51,295 --> 00:38:52,632 It was hilarious. 860 00:38:52,632 --> 00:38:54,836 - We got where we needed to go, 861 00:38:54,836 --> 00:38:56,807 and they finally stopped fighting it. 862 00:38:56,807 --> 00:38:59,779 - So we were coming from almost the mainstream direction, 863 00:38:59,779 --> 00:39:02,685 with Bill Graham coming from the heavy-duty music direction. 864 00:39:02,685 --> 00:39:07,695 So, looking back, I'm not surprised at the conflict. 865 00:39:08,430 --> 00:39:11,870 (acoustic guitar music) 866 00:39:11,870 --> 00:39:14,843 - Woz and I met because I got a call from an agent saying 867 00:39:14,843 --> 00:39:16,278 there's somebody that wants your band to play 868 00:39:16,278 --> 00:39:19,986 at a huge wedding and it's Steve Wozniak, 869 00:39:19,986 --> 00:39:22,257 one of the owners of Apple computer. 870 00:39:22,257 --> 00:39:26,700 - So I heard Joe Sharino perform, I saw how popular he was, 871 00:39:26,700 --> 00:39:29,071 asked him if he would play at my wedding and he agreed. 872 00:39:29,071 --> 00:39:31,810 - So we became friends because of that. 873 00:39:31,810 --> 00:39:35,250 About four days before the festival, I'm sitting at home, 874 00:39:35,250 --> 00:39:37,422 I get this phone call from Woz, 875 00:39:37,422 --> 00:39:39,726 "What are you doing Saturday?" 876 00:39:39,726 --> 00:39:41,195 So I thought he meant do you want free tickets, 877 00:39:41,195 --> 00:39:43,099 I said, nothing. 878 00:39:43,099 --> 00:39:44,936 and he goes, "Why don't you come down here and play?" 879 00:39:44,936 --> 00:39:46,807 We thought we're gonna go down there 880 00:39:46,807 --> 00:39:48,977 and there's gonna be the big stage where the headliners are, 881 00:39:48,977 --> 00:39:51,750 the famous people, and we're gonna be on some side stage 882 00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:54,856 where the guy's demonstrating some new technology thing, 883 00:39:54,856 --> 00:39:57,528 with 80 people and a clown after that, for the kids. 884 00:39:57,528 --> 00:40:01,135 - Oh, yes, but probably on some little side stage 885 00:40:01,135 --> 00:40:02,270 or something. 886 00:40:02,270 --> 00:40:03,841 - And then as the week went by, 887 00:40:03,841 --> 00:40:06,345 and we were rehearsing every day, 888 00:40:06,345 --> 00:40:08,249 he said you're gonna be on the main stage. 889 00:40:08,249 --> 00:40:11,122 - I had never pushed to have Joe on the big stage, 890 00:40:11,122 --> 00:40:13,392 I assumed he'd be with the jugglers and the clowns 891 00:40:13,392 --> 00:40:14,529 in some little tent. 892 00:40:14,529 --> 00:40:16,165 - It didn't even occur to me, 893 00:40:16,165 --> 00:40:17,167 how much should I charge him? 894 00:40:17,167 --> 00:40:18,269 Charge him? 895 00:40:18,269 --> 00:40:19,404 I should be paying him. 896 00:40:19,404 --> 00:40:21,208 Could we play kind of thing. 897 00:40:21,208 --> 00:40:23,112 I was happy to do it for free. 898 00:40:23,112 --> 00:40:26,453 - And somehow Bill let Joe Sharino go on stage 899 00:40:26,453 --> 00:40:28,524 and open up one of the days. 900 00:40:28,524 --> 00:40:30,828 And Joe remembers it as the highlight of his life. 901 00:40:30,828 --> 00:40:32,264 - So we get to the gate, 902 00:40:32,264 --> 00:40:33,600 the crew with our truck of equipment, 903 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,069 and all the band members. 904 00:40:35,069 --> 00:40:36,473 And for two hours, 905 00:40:36,473 --> 00:40:37,909 Bill Graham's people held us up at the gate, 906 00:40:37,909 --> 00:40:39,311 they wouldn't let us in, 907 00:40:39,311 --> 00:40:40,948 they didn't believe we were playing. 908 00:40:40,948 --> 00:40:43,554 So we were a little late getting to the stage, 909 00:40:43,554 --> 00:40:45,156 because of that. 910 00:40:45,156 --> 00:40:46,626 Finally they let us in, we start setting up. 911 00:40:46,626 --> 00:40:49,298 I'm on stage, kind od supervising everything, 912 00:40:49,298 --> 00:40:52,003 overwhelmed with the size of the crowd 913 00:40:52,003 --> 00:40:53,974 and the whole stage, everything. 914 00:40:53,974 --> 00:40:55,644 And here comes Bill Graham. 915 00:40:55,644 --> 00:41:00,253 And he comes right up to me and just starts screaming at me. 916 00:41:00,253 --> 00:41:03,059 Because he's mad that we're late. 917 00:41:03,059 --> 00:41:04,662 So I just let him talk 918 00:41:04,662 --> 00:41:06,499 and finally one of his associates comes up and says, 919 00:41:06,499 --> 00:41:08,637 you know, it's not this guy's fault, 920 00:41:08,637 --> 00:41:10,306 We held them up at the gate, 921 00:41:10,306 --> 00:41:11,910 we didn't know they were legit, blah, blah, blah. 922 00:41:11,910 --> 00:41:13,446 So then he becomes a nice guy and talks to me 923 00:41:13,446 --> 00:41:15,551 and he's real friendly and everything, 924 00:41:15,551 --> 00:41:18,389 but it was pretty scary having Bill Graham yell at you. 925 00:41:18,389 --> 00:41:20,561 But we were scared out of our minds. 926 00:41:20,561 --> 00:41:22,565 And just the size of everything. 927 00:41:22,565 --> 00:41:25,236 I remember we called it an ocean of people, 928 00:41:25,236 --> 00:41:27,173 because it was like, as far as you could see, 929 00:41:27,173 --> 00:41:30,013 even to the left and the right, just incredible, everywhere. 930 00:41:30,013 --> 00:41:32,551 So I remember going (mimics guitar chord) with my guitar 931 00:41:32,551 --> 00:41:36,358 and the (mimics guitar chord) was like a rocket went off 932 00:41:36,358 --> 00:41:38,563 through the main speakers out there. 933 00:41:38,563 --> 00:41:40,701 And I thought, oh my gosh. 934 00:41:40,701 --> 00:41:43,039 It's very, very scary, and to make it worse, 935 00:41:43,039 --> 00:41:46,746 it was 96 degrees at 12:30 when we started. 936 00:41:46,746 --> 00:41:50,286 So you're unbelievably hot, almost to the point of, 937 00:41:50,286 --> 00:41:51,990 I wonder if we're gonna get booed off stage, 938 00:41:51,990 --> 00:41:53,426 because nobody knows us. 939 00:41:53,426 --> 00:41:55,029 I wonder if we're gonna faint on stage 940 00:41:55,029 --> 00:41:58,002 and everybody's gonna just keel over. 941 00:41:58,002 --> 00:42:00,741 Sing it for Wozniak this time, come on. 942 00:42:00,741 --> 00:42:03,145 ♪ Come on, people now 943 00:42:03,145

you can help control the crowds 982 00:43:32,925 --> 00:43:35,429 and get a fun atmosphere going 983 00:43:35,429 --> 00:43:37,433 is to get a bunch of entertainers 984 00:43:37,433 --> 00:43:39,337 that are roaming around everywhere. 985 00:43:39,337 --> 00:43:42,210 Jugglers and pole sitters and all kinds of folks. 986 00:43:42,210 --> 00:43:45,751 So that they keep that light atmosphere of fun. 987 00:43:45,751 --> 00:43:48,489 - We're providing all kinds of entertainment 988 00:43:48,489 --> 00:43:49,892 and fun highlights. 989 00:43:49,892 --> 00:43:51,562 (saxophone playing) 990 00:43:51,562 --> 00:43:53,465 (crowd cheering) 991 00:43:53,465 --> 00:43:57,473 - That first year, we had 115 degrees in the sun. 992 00:43:57,473 --> 00:43:59,277 You have 250 thousand people out there 993 00:43:59,277 --> 00:44:01,916 and so we had to have lots of water for folks. 994 00:44:01,916 --> 00:44:05,724 - And it was so, so hot, and I took the water cooler 995 00:44:05,724 --> 00:44:08,395 and just poured it over me. 996 00:44:08,395 --> 00:44:10,801 I just got naked and poured this thing over me. 997 00:44:10,801 --> 00:44:13,372 - I think we actually, in one of the beer gardens, 998 00:44:13,372 --> 00:44:16,311 ran out of beer, I think, on the second day. 999 00:44:16,311 --> 00:44:18,482 It was just so blistering hot. 1000 00:44:18,482 --> 00:44:20,854 So the beer gardens were an oasis, really, 1001 00:44:20,854 --> 00:44:23,292 to get a nice, cold drink 1002 00:44:23,292 --> 00:44:24,996 and they were just packed day and night. 1003 00:44:24,996 --> 00:44:28,970 - There are cooling areas where up to 10 thousand people 1004 00:44:28,970 --> 00:44:31,041 can stand in the sprayers. 1005 00:44:31,041 --> 00:44:32,878 - Thank god, though, I don't know who was responsible 1006 00:44:32,878 --> 00:44:34,949 for setting up this line of showers 1007 00:44:34,949 --> 00:44:37,855 that people could just run through in the hot, hot weather. 1008 00:44:37,855 --> 00:44:39,759 Those saved so many people. 1009 00:44:39,759 --> 00:44:42,563 - Probably 6,000 square feet of showers in two places, 1010 00:44:42,563 --> 00:44:44,802 where you could just go under there and get wet 1011 00:44:44,802 --> 00:44:46,371 and cool off. 1012 00:44:46,371 --> 00:44:48,008 - And Bill was thinking about things like 1013 00:44:48,008 --> 00:44:50,914 spraying the audience in front of the stage with hoses 1014 00:44:50,914 --> 00:44:52,450 because it was so hot. 1015 00:44:52,450 --> 00:44:53,953 And the crowd going wild. 1016 00:44:53,953 --> 00:44:55,791 - Every once in a while, we got a bunch of 1017 00:44:55,791 --> 00:44:57,694 water faucets and water hoses around here. 1018 00:44:57,694 --> 00:45:00,099 We'll hose you down, make it a little more comfortable. 1019 00:45:00,099 --> 00:45:01,401 - We're gonna hydrate the audience. 1020 00:45:01,401 --> 00:45:03,372 All these new techniques 1021 00:45:03,372 --> 00:45:05,543 so it would be the opposite of Woodstock. 1022 00:45:05,543 --> 00:45:09,517 - We gave out over 150 thousand squirt bottles 1023 00:45:09,517 --> 00:45:11,588 that people would fill up and squirt each other 1024 00:45:11,588 --> 00:45:13,025 and keep them cool. 1025 00:45:13,025 --> 00:45:14,627 - It was lucky we had those, I can't tell you 1026 00:45:14,627 --> 00:45:16,833 how many people had those spray guns 1027 00:45:16,833 --> 00:45:18,770 and it was ungodly hot. 1028 00:45:20,539 --> 00:45:22,677 - The first year, those first days were just amazing. 1029 00:45:22,677 --> 00:45:26,118 Can you imagine a campground with 100 thousand people? 1030 00:45:26,118 --> 00:45:28,555 With all their stuff out there, just laying out there. 1031 00:45:28,555 --> 00:45:29,959 And they all go over the hill and party 1032 00:45:29,959 --> 00:45:31,829 and you can come back and forth freely. 1033 00:45:31,829 --> 00:45:33,900 And we've had two reported burglaries. 1034 00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:35,804 That answer says it all. 1035 00:45:35,804 --> 00:45:37,607 We didn't have a single arrest in the campground, 1036 00:45:37,607 --> 00:45:40,479 we didn't have anybody claiming anybody stole anything. 1037 00:45:40,479 --> 00:45:43,152 - It's going really great, the crowd is really mellow. 1038 00:45:43,152 --> 00:45:45,022 We've had no major problems. 1039 00:45:45,022 --> 00:45:47,193 - There wasn't that many arrests or anything else like that. 1040 00:45:47,193 --> 00:45:49,164 Everybody got along great that day. 1041 00:45:49,164 --> 00:45:50,867 - All the people are cool. 1042 00:45:50,867 --> 00:45:52,771 All the people seem happy. 1043 00:45:52,771 --> 00:45:54,574 - There weren't any bad vibes. 1044 00:45:54,574 --> 00:45:57,647 Everybody respected each other's space, which was great. 1045 00:45:57,647 --> 00:46:01,688 - Drug use was more rampant than we had thought. 1046 00:46:01,688 --> 00:46:03,960 Drugs have consistently been linked 1047 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,833 with rock and roll concerts and so forth. 1048 00:46:06,833 --> 00:46:09,704 But at the same time, we didn't have anybody who OD'ed. 1049 00:46:09,704 --> 00:46:12,643 I don't believe there were any significant arrests made. 1050 00:46:12,643 --> 00:46:14,915 - Whoa, it's gonna be hot. 1051 00:46:14,915 --> 00:46:16,051 It's gonna be great. 1052 00:46:16,051 --> 00:46:17,753 And we're gonna party down, 1053 00:46:17,753 --> 00:46:20,861 it's gonna be oh, too much. 1054 00:46:22,663 --> 00:46:24,067 - [Collins] The things that happened were things 1055 00:46:24,067 --> 00:46:25,736 that could have happened in any city 1056 00:46:25,736 --> 00:46:27,740 of 300 thousand, would have those same things 1057 00:46:27,740 --> 00:46:29,043 in any given week. 1058 00:46:29,043 --> 00:46:30,981 - So it was a super success. 1059 00:46:30,981 --> 00:46:34,087 - No arguments, no fights, nothing, just real life. 1060 00:46:34,087 --> 00:46:35,256 I like it like that. 1061 00:46:35,256 --> 00:46:37,093 - I think it's great, 1062 00:46:37,093 --> 00:46:38,997 one of the best concerts I've ever been to in my life. 1063 00:46:38,997 --> 00:46:42,169 - I just met these people and whenever you need something, 1064 00:46:42,169 --> 00:46:44,073 people gave it to you. 1065 00:46:44,073 --> 00:46:47,814 It they didn't have it, they gave it to somebody else. 1066 00:46:47,814 --> 00:46:49,584 They gave it to somebody else. 1067 00:46:49,584 --> 00:46:52,156 It's like everybody's brothers and sisters. 1068 00:46:52,156 --> 00:46:53,659 I'll remember it the rest of my life, 1069 00:46:53,659 --> 00:46:55,062 how could you not? 1070 00:46:58,135 --> 00:47:01,808 (funky guitar music) 1071 00:47:01,808 --> 00:47:03,011 - Well, yeah, there was definitely 1072 00:47:03,011 --> 00:47:05,282 a hippie vibe to the whole thing. 1073 00:47:05,282 --> 00:47:10,159 It was 1982, so there was a lot of things still happening 1074 00:47:10,159 --> 00:47:12,663 and it a lot of peace and love feeling to it, 1075 00:47:12,663 --> 00:47:14,969 a lot like a Woodstock event. 1076 00:47:14,969 --> 00:47:16,906 Everybody was hugging and kissing, 1077 00:47:16,906 --> 00:47:18,910 everybody got along really great, and I just thought 1078 00:47:18,910 --> 00:47:22,216 the people were really up for the concert, you know? 1079 00:47:22,216 --> 00:47:25,356 This is kind of like the Cadillac of rock festivals. 1080 00:47:25,356 --> 00:47:27,026 I'm kind of like a Chevy Chevette man, 1081 00:47:27,026 --> 00:47:28,863 I'm still trying to get used to it. 1082 00:47:28,863 --> 00:47:30,132 I mean, it's outrageous. 1083 00:47:30,132 --> 00:47:31,735 Well, I'll tell you, 1084 00:47:31,735 --> 00:47:33,438 I run into people all over the country. 1085 00:47:33,438 --> 00:47:35,042 To this day they'll say they saw me at the US Festival. 1086 00:47:35,042 --> 00:47:36,711 And that doesn't really surprise me, 1087 00:47:36,711 --> 00:47:40,753 since I've never seen so many people in my life. 1088 00:47:40,753 --> 00:47:42,456 When I first hit that stage 1089 00:47:42,456 --> 00:47:46,031 and actually saw how many people there were out there, 1090 00:47:46,031 --> 00:47:47,700 I'd have to say it was probably 1091 00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:50,239 the most exciting moment of my life. 1092 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,009 I remember being in the car 1093 00:47:52,009 --> 00:47:55,416 and I think I stopped for a hotdog someplace 1094 00:47:55,416 --> 00:47:58,755 and I was holding up about six or seven cars 1095 00:47:58,755 --> 00:48:00,927 and I think Sting was in one of the last cars, 1096 00:48:00,927 --> 00:48:02,830 going, what the hell's going on up there? 1097 00:48:02,830 --> 00:48:05,335 And they said, Eddie Money's going up to get a hotdog. 1098 00:48:05,335 --> 00:48:06,471 Who? 1099 00:48:06,471 --> 00:48:10,379 (laughs) That was a funny story. 1100 00:48:11,481 --> 00:48:14,153 You a little thirsty out there? 1101 00:48:23,405

00:51:16,517 --> 00:51:19,290 to hold 200 to 300 thousand people 1146 00:51:19,290 --> 00:51:23,431 over a short period of time in a safe way. 1147 00:51:23,431 --> 00:51:25,435 And feed them and house them. 1148 00:51:25,435 --> 00:51:29,376 And so the challenges were gigantic. 1149 00:51:29,376 --> 00:51:31,314 - We've been on this site for about three months, 1150 00:51:31,314 --> 00:51:32,649 preparing it, because there's a lot of work 1151 00:51:32,649 --> 00:51:34,286 that goes into getting it ready. 1152 00:51:34,286 --> 00:51:36,157 In a style that we're doing something 1153 00:51:36,157 --> 00:51:37,726 that's never been done before, which is going out 1154 00:51:37,726 --> 00:51:39,463 and preparing a site perfectly for a rock concert. 1155 00:51:39,463 --> 00:51:42,803 - Putting on this show was so much work. 1156 00:51:42,803 --> 00:51:44,907 This wasn't just like we were going to a new venue. 1157 00:51:44,907 --> 00:51:46,544 We built the thing. 1158 00:51:46,544 --> 00:51:47,746 - And we planned for everything. 1159 00:51:47,746 --> 00:51:49,517 We planned for Santa Ana fires, 1160 00:51:49,517 --> 00:51:51,821 we planned for worst case stuff. 1161 00:51:51,821 --> 00:51:53,825 - You gotta plan everything, like the security 1162 00:51:53,825 --> 00:51:56,531 and the health considerations. 1163 00:51:56,531 --> 00:51:58,801 - Fencing and

California is building an off ramp. 1167 00:52:06,951 --> 00:52:08,655 That's a pretty big deal. 1168 00:52:08,655 --> 00:52:11,294 - If they hadn't opened this off ram here, 1169 00:52:11,294 --> 00:52:13,398 we would have had traffic backed up for miles. 1170 00:52:13,398 --> 00:52:15,268 - They let us put a temporary off ramp here 1171 00:52:15,268 --> 00:52:18,508 so we could get people without clogging all the freeways. 1172 00:52:18,508 --> 00:52:20,345 We paid for it. 1173 00:52:20,345 --> 00:52:22,014 - This is the first ever, an historic example 1174 00:52:22,014 --> 00:52:24,486 of the Federal Government saying you can have the first ever 1175 00:52:24,486 --> 00:52:26,724 temporary off ramp off a federal interstate 1176 00:52:26,724 --> 00:52:27,926 for the US Festival. 1177 00:52:27,926 --> 00:52:30,699 (crowd cheering) 1178 00:52:32,502 --> 00:52:35,007 - No dollars were spared in order to make people comfortable 1179 00:52:35,007 --> 00:52:36,644 and safe. 1180 00:52:36,644 --> 00:52:37,946 - I think the reason it's gone over so well 1181 00:52:37,946 --> 00:52:39,550 is we got more porta-potties per person 1182 00:52:39,550 --> 00:52:41,520 than in any other event of its type, ever. 1183 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,058 - We have over 18 hundred porta-johns. 1184 00:52:44,058 --> 00:52:46,430 - I always insisted from day one that we have more, 1185 00:52:46,430 --> 00:52:48,735 twice as many porta-potties as any other event. 1186 00:52:48,735 --> 00:52:52,342 - At the last minute, the company that had promised 1187 00:52:52,342 --> 00:52:55,882 to produce the porta-potties tried to double the prices. 1188 00:52:55,882 --> 00:52:57,753 - Didn't say anything to them, just looked at them, 1189 00:52:57,753 --> 00:52:59,590 and then just 1190 00:52:59,590 --> 00:53:01,092 sent somebody out to start getting port-potties 1191 00:53:01,092 --> 00:53:03,665 delivered from Nebraska and Kansas. 1192 00:53:03,665 --> 00:53:05,635 Anywhere that he could get them. 1193 00:53:05,635 --> 00:53:07,739 - [Collins] We had them trucked in, and in some cases, 1194 00:53:07,739 --> 00:53:10,779 paid a little extra, but we beat that guy, 1195 00:53:10,779 --> 00:53:14,553 who tried the hold up on the porta-potties. 1196 00:53:14,553 --> 00:53:17,359 - All I can say is, I'm glad there's a lot of bathrooms. 1197 00:53:17,359 --> 00:53:19,630 - I even tested the port-potties myself. 1198 00:53:19,630 --> 00:53:21,934 - At the same time, you had to make plans 1199 00:53:21,934 --> 00:53:23,838 for these bands to be there. 1200 00:53:23,838 --> 00:53:25,742 They all had to be brought in and brought out 1201 00:53:25,742 --> 00:53:29,616 and have transportation and have places to dress. 1202 00:53:29,616 --> 00:53:31,587 Tremendous amounts of arrangements. 1203 00:53:31,587 --> 00:53:33,023 - Most of them had to be helicoptered in, 1204 00:53:33,023 --> 00:53:35,160 because there was really no way to get them in. 1205 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:36,497 From the roads. 1206 00:53:36,497 --> 00:53:38,166 - Make sure they were on time 1207 00:53:38,166 --> 00:53:39,670 and they were coming from other places, so yeah, 1208 00:53:39,670 --> 00:53:40,939 there was a tremendous amount of-- 1209 00:53:40,939 --> 00:53:41,974 - Logistics. 1210 00:53:41,974 --> 00:53:42,843 - It was 1211 00:53:43,778 --> 00:53:45,515 a great deal of work. 1212 00:53:47,652 --> 00:53:50,658 (rock guitar music) 1213 00:53:52,027 --> 00:53:54,967 - Wozniak likes music and his big dream is... 1214 00:53:54,967 --> 00:53:57,773 One of his big dreams is to have a lot of groups play, 1215 00:53:57,773 --> 00:54:00,945 of a high quality level in a nice setting. 1216 00:54:00,945 --> 00:54:02,449 Over a three day period. 1217 00:54:02,449 --> 00:54:03,718 - I have a memory of Bill Graham 1218 00:54:03,718 --> 00:54:07,224 being the pioneer of such shows 1219 00:54:07,224 --> 00:54:08,828 at the Fillmore. 1220 00:54:08,828 --> 00:54:10,632 - Instead of mixing up al the bands, 1221 00:54:10,632 --> 00:54:13,704 they've kind of got it in certain sequences, 1222 00:54:13,704 --> 00:54:15,575 which is an interesting way to do it. 1223 00:54:15,575 --> 00:54:17,679 - They try to fit the right type of groups together 1224 00:54:17,679 --> 00:54:18,815 on the right days. 1225 00:54:18,815 --> 00:54:20,718 - And he had a good sensibility 1226 00:54:20,718 --> 00:54:22,856 about splitting the days up into a modern rock day, 1227 00:54:22,856 --> 00:54:24,726 which I loved very much, 1228 00:54:24,726 --> 00:54:26,764 the very new people who aren't that well known yet, 1229 00:54:26,764 --> 00:54:30,103 that are lesser groups, but they have unusual styles 1230 00:54:30,103 --> 00:54:31,574 and I like creativity. 1231 00:54:31,574 --> 00:54:33,076 - Like a kid in a toy shop. 1232 00:54:33,076 --> 00:54:35,949 Wozniak was, I can do this, we can do that. 1233 00:54:35,949 --> 00:54:39,255 And was so beautifully childlike. 1234 00:54:39,255 --> 00:54:42,127 - To me it was just grounded in this rock festival, 1235 00:54:42,127 --> 00:54:44,700 other bands, the excitement of playing with 1236 00:54:44,700 --> 00:54:46,670 other bands that I really admired. 1237 00:54:46,670 --> 00:54:48,975 I loved Talking Heads and the Police 1238 00:54:48,975 --> 00:54:51,780 and it was just a great event. 1239 00:54:51,780 --> 00:54:54,085 - I knew we needed the Police. 1240 00:54:54,085 --> 00:54:58,961 Because they were the one band that had broken through 1241 00:54:58,961 --> 00:55:00,899 that was really a modern band. 1242 00:55:00,899 --> 00:55:03,638 - All these people in the same place, in the same three days 1243 00:55:03,638 --> 00:55:07,011 it's too hard to comprehend, it's unbelievable. 1244 00:55:07,011 --> 00:55:08,915 - I did stay and see... 1245 00:55:08,915 --> 00:55:11,921 Especially I remember seeing the Ramones and Talking Heads. 1246 00:55:11,921 --> 00:55:13,290 So it was amazing. 1247 00:55:13,290 --> 00:55:14,927 - I mean, come on. 1248 00:55:14,927 --> 00:55:17,832 Grateful Dead to Oingo Boingo to Fleetwood Mac 1249 00:55:17,832 --> 00:55:19,803 to Jackson Brown to-- 1250 00:55:19,803 --> 00:55:21,674 - [Interviewer] No, it's a great line-up. 1251 00:55:21,674 --> 00:55:23,344 - Pat Benatar, Tom Petty, it's pretty amazing, actually. 1252 00:55:23,344 --> 00:55:25,080 - You had Tom Petty headlining one day, 1253 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:29,055 you had Fleetwood Mac, a giant band, headlining. 1254 00:55:29,055 --> 00:55:32,963 The third line act that day was Jimmy Buffet. 1255 00:55:32,963 --> 00:55:34,265 Can you imagine? 1256 00:55:34,265 --> 00:55:35,902 - And this incredible music, 1257 00:55:35,902 --> 00:55:37,037 I mean, I listened to Eddie Money, 1258 00:55:37,037 --> 00:55:38,674 and then Santana comes on, 1259 00:55:38,674 --> 00:55:40,845 I couldn't believe it, that was so incredible. 1260 00:55:40,845 --> 00:55:42,247 And then I think ahead, look what's coming. 1261 00:55:42,247 --> 00:55:44,285 Even tonight, Pat Benatar and Tom Petty, 1262 00:55:44,285 --> 00:55:46,423 and then tomorrow's unbelievable. 1263 00:55:46,423 --> 00:55:48,361 - And this was a particularly big festival, 1264 00:55:48,361 --> 00:55:51,232 with a particularly good roster of bands. 1265 00:55:51,232 --> 00:55:55,273 - For the time, the line-up of bands that played there 1266 00:55:55,273 --> 00:55:58,748 was absolutely the biggest and the best. 1267 00:56:01,219 --> 00:56:03,424 - [Announcer] Would you welcome, please, the Cars. 1268

a businessman, 1321 01:00:12,688 --> 01:00:14,591 thinking here is a money opportunity. 1322 01:00:14,591 --> 01:00:16,796 I just wanted to make it as excellent as possible. 1323 01:00:16,796 --> 01:00:19,568 Every little detail, everything you could think of, 1324 01:00:19,568 --> 01:00:21,238 make it a good festival, 1325 01:00:21,238 --> 01:00:24,444 and let's judge the profits afterwards. 1326 01:00:24,444 --> 01:00:29,454 - I think the same mentality that Steve had in running Apple 1327 01:00:30,523 --> 01:00:31,525 carried over into The festival. 1328 01:00:31,525 --> 01:00:32,962 It has to be right. 1329 01:00:32,962 --> 01:00:33,964 - He was trying to do something great, 1330 01:00:33,964 --> 01:00:36,569 much like the Apple 2.2. 1331 01:00:36,569 --> 01:00:38,606 The same motivations, really. 1332 01:00:38,606 --> 01:00:41,312 - Money wasn't an issue. 1333 01:00:41,312 --> 01:00:43,917 It was something he just wanted to do and do right. 1334 01:00:43,917 --> 01:00:47,524 - This was more about vision and what he wanted to do. 1335 01:00:47,524 --> 01:00:51,398 - And his intentions were honorable then 1336 01:00:51,398 --> 01:00:52,802 and they seem to be that way now. 1337 01:00:52,802 --> 01:00:55,573 - The original budget, I believe, 1338 01:00:57,377 --> 01:01:00,016 was approximately, I'm gonna say, 10 million dollars. 1339 01:01:00,016 --> 01:01:01,820 - We've been on schedule for everything 1340 01:01:01,820 --> 01:01:03,289 and we're only a little over budget. 1341 01:01:03,289 --> 01:01:04,926 - The largest thing was talent. 1342 01:01:04,926 --> 01:01:08,566 - He was throwing all this money at us to book these acts. 1343 01:01:08,566 --> 01:01:10,036 To sell a concert. 1344 01:01:10,036 --> 01:01:12,073 - Right now we're about 13 million. 1345 01:01:12,073 --> 01:01:14,044 - [Interviewer] And how much of that is for the acts, 1346 01:01:14,044 --> 01:01:15,914 about 10? - Music 1347 01:01:15,914 --> 01:01:17,718 about three, three point three million dollars only. 1348 01:01:17,718 --> 01:01:19,354 - Everybody got the biggest payday of their life 1349 01:01:19,354 --> 01:01:21,025 up until that point. 1350 01:01:21,025 --> 01:01:23,997 - That particular gig was the highest paying gig 1351 01:01:23,997 --> 01:01:27,570 that we had ever partaken in. 1352 01:01:27,570 --> 01:01:29,474 - Every show we played, 1353 01:01:29,474 --> 01:01:31,780 we got three times the fee we got the show before. 1354 01:01:31,780 --> 01:01:33,449 - I don't think we were one of those bands 1355 01:01:33,449 --> 01:01:34,852 that got a million dollars. 1356 01:01:34,852 --> 01:01:36,823 Um, I don't know what our payday was, 1357 01:01:36,823 --> 01:01:38,693 I have no memory of that. 1358 01:01:38,693 --> 01:01:40,798 - It was just money flying around like confetti. 1359 01:01:40,798 --> 01:01:42,868 - It was set up to be profitable. 1360 01:01:42,868 --> 01:01:44,739 Assuming maybe I'd break even, 1361 01:01:44,739 --> 01:01:46,108 but I didn't think I'd lose a huge amount of money, 1362 01:01:46,108 --> 01:01:47,978 which I did. 1363 01:01:47,978 --> 01:01:50,083 - I think Woz has always felt it was a great success. 1364 01:01:50,083 --> 01:01:51,986 Because it made people happy. 1365 01:01:51,986 --> 01:01:54,024 And that's what he cares the most about. 1366 01:01:54,024 --> 01:01:55,660 - Man, I'm happy. 1367 01:01:55,660 --> 01:01:56,896 I say we should count the success in terms of 1368 01:01:56,896 --> 01:01:58,734 number of smiles. 1369 01:01:58,734 --> 01:02:00,636 - I can't really understand why Steve would spend 1370 01:02:00,636 --> 01:02:03,576 12.5 or whatever millions of dollars he did for this, 1371 01:02:03,576 --> 01:02:05,446 but he sure is enjoying himself. 1372 01:02:05,446 --> 01:02:07,717 Gonna provide a lot of people with a lot of enjoyment. 1373 01:02:07,717 --> 01:02:11,725 - [Woman] He's gonna make a lot of people happy. 1374 01:02:14,832 --> 01:02:17,738 - I'm very grateful that I'm part and parcel of this, 1375 01:02:17,738 --> 01:02:20,643 to whatever degree, it doesn't matter, but I am part of it. 1376 01:02:20,643 --> 01:02:25,086 But I'd like to put emphasis on it's music or musician 1377 01:02:25,086 --> 01:02:27,557 or an individual is that we go back 1378 01:02:27,557 --> 01:02:31,833 to showing all the variety that we have in the arts. 1379 01:02:33,669 --> 01:02:36,542 Because it's a little bit too lopsided nowadays. 1380 01:02:36,542 --> 01:02:38,212 And I think most people agree, 1381 01:02:38,212 --> 01:02:42,086 who wants to see three bands that sound the same? 1382 01:02:42,086 --> 01:02:45,828 ("Black Magic Woman" intro) 1383 01:03:28,045 --> 01:03:31,853 ♪ Got a black magic woman 1384 01:03:31,853 -->

you, all gratitude to you. 1405 01:08:48,385 --> 01:08:50,789 - We were very close to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 1406 01:08:50,789 --> 01:08:52,893 and they were an enormous band. 1407 01:08:52,893 --> 01:08:55,732 He is the consummate professional. 1408 01:08:55,732 --> 01:08:58,371 He just had hit after hit after hit. 1409 01:08:58,371 --> 01:09:02,746 I think Tom Petty is gonna

01:15:13,654 --> 01:15:15,490 but thanks, man, this has been a lot of fun. 1457 01:15:15,490 --> 01:15:18,531 (crowd cheering) 1458 01:15:18,531 --> 01:15:21,502 (mellow rock music) 1459 01:15:23,473 --> 01:15:26,613 - What Woodstock did is it told the world 1460 01:15:26,613 --> 01:15:29,085 how big rock and roll had gotten. 1461 01:15:29,085 --> 01:15:31,289 Woodstock became much more famous, because of the movie. 1462 01:15:31,289 --> 01:15:33,059 - We'd all seen the Woodstock movie, 1463 01:15:33,059 --> 01:15:35,631 which, loved the movie, glad I wasn't there. 1464 01:15:35,631 --> 01:15:38,136 - There's people bathing in mud. 1465 01:15:38,136 --> 01:15:40,708 Waddling around in mud and lakes. 1466 01:15:40,708 --> 01:15:42,211 - And to me, the movie didn't show 1467 01:15:42,211 --> 01:15:43,647 a lot of the real bad sides. 1468 01:15:43,647 --> 01:15:45,585 It was a real, kind of awful, experience. 1469 01:15:45,585 --> 01:15:48,591 - But it seemed to be more fun when it was in chaos. 1470 01:15:48,591 --> 01:15:52,064 - I read this book called "Barefoot in Babylon" about... 1471 01:15:52,064 --> 01:15:54,168 By one of the two founders of Woodstock. 1472 01:15:54,168 --> 01:15:56,072 It was what they did, how the whole thing was put together 1473 01:15:56,072 --> 01:15:58,476 and structured, every page was a disaster. 1474 01:15:58,476 --> 01:16:00,313 It was horror. 1475 01:16:00,313 --> 01:16:01,784 If I had read that book first, I wouldn't have done it. 1476 01:16:01,784 --> 01:16:03,621 I couldn't believe how everything went wrong. 1477 01:16:03,621 --> 01:16:05,490 They did everything wrong, they didn't plan it. 1478 01:16:05,490 --> 01:16:09,866 They kind of just put it on in a farm in just a day. 1479 01:16:09,866 --> 01:16:12,304 So there were a lot of problems at Woodstock. 1480 01:16:12,304 --> 01:16:15,410 - Woodstock was a qualitative success 1481 01:16:15,410 --> 01:16:19,552 in the imagination of those who weren't there. 1482 01:16:19,552 --> 01:16:20,554 I was there. 1483 01:16:21,657 --> 01:16:23,661 It wasn't that pleasant. 1484 01:16:23,661 --> 01:16:26,733 - Woodstock wasn't really thought out. 1485 01:16:26,733 --> 01:16:28,536 This one was. 1486 01:16:28,536 --> 01:16:30,842 And you could see, everything was kind of in place. 1487 01:16:30,842 --> 01:16:34,515 - The best part about this event, that should outclass 1488 01:16:34,515 --> 01:16:38,891 a Woodstock, certainly, is that this site has been planned 1489 01:16:38,891 --> 01:16:43,299 for a quarter of a million people, 300 thousand people. 1490 01:16:43,299 --> 01:16:44,769 - One of the common mantras 1491 01:16:44,769 --> 01:16:46,272 among the people who were involved in it, 1492 01:16:46,272 --> 01:16:47,876 was to avoid those problems. 1493 01:16:47,876 --> 01:16:51,282 To have a concert that worked, 1494 01:16:51,282 --> 01:16:53,854 where people, if they had a medical problem, 1495 01:16:53,854 --> 01:16:57,227 would get treated, and people would have food and water 1496 01:16:57,227 --> 01:16:59,431 and not be collapsing. 1497 01:16:59,431 --> 01:17:01,469 And have a great experience. 1498 01:17:01,469 --> 01:17:02,972 - We were all celebrating backstage 1499 01:17:02,972 --> 01:17:04,876 that this was not Woodstock. 1500 01:17:04,876 --> 01:17:06,980 And we were sold on the idea of coming to this festival 1501 01:17:06,980 --> 01:17:09,451 on this would be the opposite of Woodstock. 1502 01:17:09,451 --> 01:17:12,391 - Woz and Graham set up everything real nice. 1503 01:17:12,391 --> 01:17:14,628 It's just a well done thing. 1504 01:17:14,628 --> 01:17:16,465 - It was very well organized, I remember, 1505 01:17:16,465 --> 01:17:19,371 it wasn't really Woodstocky with mud or anything. 1506 01:17:19,371 --> 01:17:22,277 - We've got every conceivable type of luxury 1507 01:17:22,277 --> 01:17:23,747 for an outdoor concert. 1508 01:17:23,747 --> 01:17:25,617 It's terrific. 1509 01:17:25,617 --> 01:17:26,552 - It's even bigger and better and more well put together 1510 01:17:26,552 --> 01:17:27,956 than Woodstock. 1511 01:17:27,956 --> 01:17:30,260 - Sort of like Coachella is today. 1512 01:17:30,260 --> 01:17:33,333 It's absolutely comfortable, the grass is clean, 1513 01:17:33,333 --> 01:17:35,503 the sound system is pristine. 1514 01:17:35,503 --> 01:17:37,341 It's a really great experience, 1515 01:17:37,341 --> 01:17:40,380 and the US Festival was really the precursor to that. 1516 01:17:40,380 --> 01:17:42,050 The idea that a festival isn't misery. 1517 01:17:42,050 --> 01:17:43,854 - So it really laid the groundwork 1518 01:17:43,854 --> 01:17:47,060 for the high mark of festivals. 1519 01:17:47,060 --> 01:17:50,300 - And all of the Bonaroos and Outside Lands 1520 01:17:50,300 --> 01:17:52,004 and all these festivals 1521 01:17:52,004 --> 01:17:55,010 that have now come on to the U.S. circuit of festivals big 1522 01:17:55,010 --> 01:17:58,851 are really just taking his idea and growing on it. 1523 01:17:58,851 --> 01:18:00,755 That's all they're doing. 1524 01:18:00,755 --> 01:18:04,395 - It was really the advent of the first safe and sane, 1525 01:18:04,395 --> 01:18:05,998 organized festival. 1526 01:18:05,998 --> 01:18:07,702 - It's the biggest happening since Woodstock. 1527 01:18:07,702 --> 01:18:09,706 I was too young for that, 1528 01:18:09,706 --> 01:18:11,977 so I'm definitely gonna catch this one. 1529 01:18:11,977 --> 01:18:14,648 - The 80's are the 60's, 20 years later. 1530 01:18:14,648 --> 01:18:16,953 Old feathers in a brand new bird. 1531 01:18:16,953 --> 01:18:18,791 These are the good old days. 1532 01:18:18,791 --> 01:18:21,362 - The festival itself never quite got the respect 1533 01:18:21,362 --> 01:18:23,566 that, I think, we all hoped for, for it. 1534 01:18:23,566 --> 01:18:26,740 - I think that this is the Woodstock of the 80's 1535 01:18:26,740 --> 01:18:29,545 and I think it's a lot of fun. 1536 01:18:29,545 --> 01:18:31,649 - There's not as many people as at Woodstock, 1537 01:18:31,649 --> 01:18:33,152 the chemistry is not the same, 1538 01:18:33,152 --> 01:18:35,123 the cause is not the same, 1539 01:18:35,123 --> 01:18:36,993 but nevertheless, this is very special. 1540 01:18:36,993 --> 01:18:39,665 It's turning out to be very, very special. 1541 01:18:39,665 --> 01:18:42,772 - And in that sense, the US Festival definitely achieved 1542 01:18:42,772 --> 01:18:44,575 being the Woodstock of the 80's. 1543 01:18:44,575 --> 01:18:46,813 - The Woodstock of the 80's. 1544 01:18:46,813 --> 01:18:48,649 It's love and peace all the way. 1545 01:18:48,649 --> 01:18:50,120 - But you know what? 1546 01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,426 They got their shit together this time. 1547 01:18:53,426 --> 01:18:56,031 (crowd cheering) 1548 01:18:57,567 --> 01:18:59,171 - You know, the Grateful Dead, at breakfast, 1549 01:18:59,171 --> 01:19:02,177 some of us stayed up all night. 1550 01:19:02,177 --> 01:19:04,816 Rather than trying to get up at eight o'clock in the morning 1551 01:19:04,816 --> 01:19:06,685 and play Grateful Dead music. 1552 01:19:06,685 --> 01:19:08,556 Sounds ridiculous. 1553 01:19:08,556 --> 01:19:11,095 - You can't bottle or can what the Dead do live. 1554 01:19:11,095 --> 01:19:14,568 And I've always felt that they were an amazingly 1555 01:19:14,568 --> 01:19:16,807 wonderful experience live. 1556 01:19:16,807 --> 01:19:18,709 And I think that they should be here. 1557 01:19:18,709 --> 01:19:20,580 'Cause they're the only ones who do what they do. 1558 01:19:20,580 --> 01:19:23,653 - We're playing at nine o'clock in the morning. 1559 01:19:23,653 --> 01:19:25,023 For all of you early morning 1560 01:19:25,023 --> 01:19:26,927 Grateful Dead Experience freaks. 1561 01:19:26,927 --> 01:19:29,598 We've never played at nine o'clock in the morning. 1562 01:19:29,598 --> 01:19:31,937 Except when we stayed up all night, of course. 1563 01:19:31,937 --> 01:19:33,774 Playing, so... 1564 01:19:33,774 --> 01:19:35,710 This will be an experience that we won't forget 1565 01:19:35,710 --> 01:19:37,647 and I hope you won't, either. 1566 01:19:37,647 --> 01:19:40,720 ♪ Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street ♪ 1567 01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:42,691 - Yeah, the Breakfast with the Dead 1568 01:19:42,691 --> 01:19:45,296 was such a wonderful feeling and they were so on 1569 01:19:45,296 --> 01:19:48,035 and they were having such a good time, as they always did. 1570 01:19:48,035 --> 01:19:50,673 - I just know that it was a big show 1571 01:19:50,673 --> 01:19:54,047 and it was about Woz, and that's why we did it. 1572 01:19:54,047 --> 01:19:57,320 - Supporting Woz was, for me, and the idea, 1573 01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,191 was worth the effort. 1574 01:19:59,191 --> 01:20:00,727 Because here was somebody going out on the edge. 1575 01:20:00,727 --> 01:20:02,163 I like that. 1576 01:20:02,163 --> 01:20:04,268 The whole thing is about playing great 1577 01:20:04,268 --> 01:20:05,770 and playing out of your heads 1578 01:20:05,770 --> 01:20:07,240 and creating something from nothing 1579 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:09,011 and, you know, making magic. 1580 01:20:09,011 --> 01:20:10,613 I really can't comment, 1581 01:20:10,613 --> 01:20:12,885 except I didn't think we kissed the sky 1582 01:20:12,885 --> 01:20:15,590 That morning after breakfast. 1583 01:20:15,590 --> 01:20:17,727 No, I don't think so. 1584 01:20:17,727 --> 01:20:19,131 - Having the Grateful Dead for breakfast, 1585 01:20:19,131 --> 01:20:21,168 what other person could, from years from now, 1586 01:20:21,168 --> 01:20:23,874 go and tell their children 1587 01:20:23,874 --> 01:20:26,211 that I once had breakfast on a hill somewhere 1588 01:20:26,211 --> 01:20:27,647 and you know who played live for breakfast? 1589 01:20:27,647 --> 01:20:28,850 The Grateful Dead. 1590

01:21:24,294 - Everyone's here for one goal, 1602 01:21:24,294 --> 01:21:28,102 to make this concert, and this tech fair, 1603 01:21:28,102 --> 01:21:30,406 and the whole US Festival a success. 1604 01:21:30,406 --> 01:21:32,343 - The quality of the presentation 1605 01:21:32,343 --> 01:21:34,514 and how it sounded everywhere was extremely important to me. 1606 01:21:34,514 --> 01:21:36,852 - The call was to do it right. 1607 01:21:36,852 --> 01:21:38,789 - The stage itself 1608 01:21:38,789 --> 01:21:40,493 will be the largest stage structure ever assembled. 1609 01:21:40,493 --> 01:21:44,835 The entire length of it will be a little over 325 feet long 1610 01:21:44,835 --> 01:21:47,006 or the length of a football field. 1611 01:21:47,006 --> 01:21:49,946 There'll be about a 500 instrument lighting system. 1612 01:21:49,946 --> 01:21:51,882 - And the stage is huge, the stage is amazing. 1613 01:21:51,882 --> 01:21:55,991 - All the equipment is on a platform, which just slides on. 1614 01:21:55,991 --> 01:21:59,131 It's a real maze up there, the stage is like a city. 1615 01:21:59,131 --> 01:22:01,468 - It was the biggest stage I ever saw. 1616 01:22:01,468 --> 01:22:03,339 It was just unbelievable. 1617 01:22:03,339 --> 01:22:06,445 - This will be the largest sound system ever put together 1618 01:22:06,445 --> 01:22:08,149 for one single event. 1619 01:22:08,149 --> 01:22:10,386 A little over 300 thousand watts. 1620 01:22:10,386 --> 01:22:12,257 - In fact, we're gonna have the Guinness Book of Records 1621 01:22:12,257 --> 01:22:15,129 out here to verify that, and when you buy your next edition, 1622 01:22:15,129 --> 01:22:16,966 we hope we'll be in it. 1623 01:22:16,966 --> 01:22:19,504 - This event had so many people, it deserved decent sound. 1624 01:22:19,504 --> 01:22:22,277 - The sound was great, unbelievable sound. 1625 01:22:22,277 --> 01:22:24,114 - They had the whole sound thing figured out 1626 01:22:24,114 --> 01:22:27,020 so that there was this delay towers along the way. 1627 01:22:27,020 --> 01:22:29,257 - There was talk of the delayed speaker system. 1628 01:22:29,257 --> 01:22:31,195 - It's a digital delay system, 1629 01:22:31,195 --> 01:22:34,534 so that the sound that reaches the back half of the audience 1630 01:22:34,534 --> 01:22:37,073 gives the impression that it's the same sound 1631 01:22:37,073 --> 01:22:38,309 coming from the stage. 1632 01:22:38,309 --> 01:22:39,945 - And the sound is good 1633 01:22:39,945 --> 01:22:41,648 all the way back to the beer gardens. 1634 01:22:41,648 --> 01:22:44,020 I'm so glad we didn't make sacrifices in sound quality. 1635 01:22:44,020 --> 01:22:48,028 - And then there was the big screen behind us on the stage. 1636 01:22:48,028 --> 01:22:49,531 Which was kind of new. 1637 01:22:49,531 --> 01:22:52,303 I mean it was unusual to see at that time. 1638 01:22:52,303 --> 01:22:54,976 - The first time ever a huge Diamond Vision video screen 1639 01:22:54,976 --> 01:22:57,347 was at a concert in the United States. 1640 01:22:57,347 --> 01:22:59,217 - The Diamond Vision screen on, 1641 01:22:59,217 --> 01:23:01,355 which is a daytime television screen, 1642 01:23:01,355 --> 01:23:05,296 which will allow all of the audience to get a very good view 1643 01:23:05,296 --> 01:23:08,168 and a close up view of the artists during the daytime. 1644 01:23:08,168 --> 01:23:09,704 - No one even thought to do screens. 1645 01:23:09,704 --> 01:23:11,241 Why would you want a screen 1646 01:23:11,241 --> 01:23:13,112 when the performer's right there? 1647 01:23:13,112 --> 01:23:14,247 - [Tom Mendenhall] This will be supplemented at night 1648 01:23:14,247 --> 01:23:15,716 by the 50 foot Eidophor screen, 1649 01:23:15,716 --> 01:23:17,687 so that no matter where you are in this bowl, 1650 01:23:17,687 --> 01:23:19,524 you will have a close-up of the stage 1651 01:23:19,524 --> 01:23:21,428 and see the concert like the people 1652 01:23:21,428 --> 01:23:23,432 who are standing right down here, up front. 1653 01:23:23,432 --> 01:23:26,305 - So the video became a real big deal, 1654 01:23:26,305 --> 01:23:28,208 even though no one was really sure 1655 01:23:28,208 --> 01:23:29,644 how to take advantage of it. 1656 01:23:29,644 --> 01:23:31,081 - I guess it was really the birth 1657 01:23:31,081 --> 01:23:32,617 of a new rock and roll era. 1658 01:23:32,617 --> 01:23:34,187 - Essentially, it's all grown out of 1659 01:23:34,187 --> 01:23:35,756 the great, technological race 1660 01:23:35,756 --> 01:23:38,195 that's happened over the last five or six years. 1661 01:23:38,195 --> 01:23:40,099 - This is really cutting edge stuff. 1662 01:23:40,099 --> 01:23:42,737 - Definitely, it's an event not to be missed. 1663 01:23:42,737 -->

01:24:21,581 --> 01:24:23,852 of the video link to Russia. 1673 01:24:25,689 --> 01:24:28,729 - We did the first ever live hook-up by satellite 1674 01:24:28,729 --> 01:24:30,266 with the Soviet Union. 1675 01:24:30,266 --> 01:24:32,870 - We're gonna broadcast into Russia 1676 01:24:32,870 --> 01:24:34,607 and Russia's gonna broadcast back to us. 1677 01:24:34,607 --> 01:24:36,545 During the US Festival on Labor Day, 1678 01:24:36,545 --> 01:24:39,417 Russians and Americans are gonna dance and party together. 1679 01:24:39,417 --> 01:24:40,853 Via satellite. 1680 01:24:40,853 --> 01:24:43,225 And the whole world's gonna hear about it. 1681 01:24:43,225 --> 01:24:45,129 I think it's just fabulous, 1682 01:24:45,129 --> 01:24:46,565 I think it's gonna be one of the great statements 1683 01:24:46,565 --> 01:24:48,168 toward peace that we've ever done. 1684 01:24:48,168 --> 01:24:49,304 - People were putting together this idea 1685 01:24:49,304 --> 01:24:50,806 of having a rock music... 1686 01:24:50,806 --> 01:24:52,677 A festival over there and a festival here 1687 01:24:52,677 --> 01:24:54,414 and let's link up, video-wise. 1688 01:24:54,414 --> 01:24:56,485 I loved the idea, from the time I heard it, 1689 01:24:56,485 --> 01:24:58,822 because it was a little bit revolutionary, 1690 01:24:58,822 --> 01:25:01,895 a little bit anti-government propaganda. 1691 01:25:01,895 --> 01:25:03,932 - And it was in the peak of the Cold War. 1692 01:25:03,932 --> 01:25:05,936 - [Wozniak] Let's talk to the enemy and cooperate, 1693 01:25:05,936 --> 01:25:09,277 which is the whole idea of UNUSON, Unite Us In Song, 1694 01:25:09,277 --> 01:25:11,248 we're one people, we've gotta unite. 1695 01:25:11,248 --> 01:25:14,888 - Do we have a connection with the operator in Moscow? 1696 01:25:14,888 --> 01:25:17,827 - I guess the idea was the people in Russia 1697 01:25:17,827 --> 01:25:20,599 were supposed to be able to see the concert here 1698 01:25:20,599 --> 01:25:21,968 and vice versa. 1699 01:25:21,968 --> 01:25:23,605 - And we didn't know 1700 01:25:23,605 --> 01:25:25,276 if we could even pull it off technically. 1701 01:25:25,276 --> 01:25:26,978 They didn't have the satellite equipment, 1702 01:25:26,978 --> 01:25:28,916 except that the U.S. had pulled out of an Olympics 1703 01:25:28,916 --> 01:25:32,723 and NBC left there equipment in a warehouse in Moscow. 1704 01:25:32,723 --> 01:25:36,398 - (speaking foreign language) UNUSON Corporation. 1705 01:25:36,398 --> 01:25:38,302 - Could we pull this off? 1706 01:25:38,302 --> 01:25:40,673 It would be a technology coup nobody had ever done. 1707 01:25:40,673 --> 01:25:42,243 I love to do things first, 1708 01:25:42,243 --> 01:25:44,314 especially when they're in technology. 1709 01:25:44,314 --> 01:25:48,422 - They're confirming a transmission at 8:45, Moscow time. 1710 01:25:49,824 --> 01:25:51,461 - And about a week ago, we got a phone call 1711 01:25:51,461 --> 01:25:53,432 and they said we can do it if we want. 1712 01:25:53,432 --> 01:25:55,636 And our mode of thinking isn't how much does it cost? 1713 01:25:55,636 --> 01:25:59,042 It's instantly, this is right for this festival, do it. 1714 01:25:59,042 --> 01:26:03,352 - In a few minutes, on the screens to your left and right, 1715 01:26:03,352 --> 01:26:05,956 they're gonna attempt to connect with 1716 01:26:05,956 --> 01:26:08,027 a rock and roll group far, far away. 1717 01:26:08,027 --> 01:26:09,998 Behind the Iron Curtain. 1718 01:26:09,998 --> 01:26:12,035 If it works, it'll probably be a first. 1719 01:26:12,035 --> 01:26:12,970 - Okay now. 1720 01:26:14,307 --> 01:26:15,776 Is this being sent? 1721 01:26:15,776 --> 01:26:17,613 This is... 1722 01:26:17,613 --> 01:26:19,484 It's being sent to Los Angeles, one way, right now. 1723 01:26:19,484 --> 01:26:21,955 It's going, we should go now, it's being taped. 1724 01:26:21,955 --> 01:26:25,061 - We had things scripted, that when it went onto the screen, 1725 01:26:25,061 --> 01:26:26,965 Bill Graham's job was to go up to the microphone 1726 01:26:26,965 --> 01:26:29,470 and introduce to the crowd what was going on. 1727 01:26:29,470 --> 01:26:33,077 - We have arrived here in Moscow two and a half days ago 1728 01:26:33,077 --> 01:26:34,681 and in that short amount of time-- 1729 01:26:34,681 --> 01:26:36,351 - He didn't go up to the mike. 1730 01:26:36,351 --> 01:26:38,054 So that was when I was getting my chills, 1731 01:26:38,054 --> 01:26:40,659 so I ran across the stage and there's Bill Graham. 1732 01:26:40,659 --> 01:26:42,630 I say, well, why aren't you introducing it? 1733 01:26:42,630 --> 01:26:44,367 And he's looking at these monitors. 1734 01:26:44,367 --> 01:26:46,671 - The signal originates in Moscow, 1735 01:26:46,671 --> 01:26:49,042 is being broadcast to a satellite. 1736 01:26:49,042 --> 01:26:50,379 - He said this is coming from a studio 1737 01:26:50,379 --> 01:26:51,948 in Southern California, Steve. 1738 01:26:51,948 --> 01:26:53,585 And I didn't believe that, 1739 01:26:53,585 --> 01:26:54,987 I trusted my people to set everything up, 1740 01:26:54,987 --> 01:26:56,958 we worked for so long with these people. 1741 01:26:56,958 --> 01:26:58,829 I talked to the technicians 1742 01:26:58,829 --> 01:27:00,833 that were gonna do the Russian side of things, you know? 1743 01:27:00,833 --> 01:27:03,170 - [Interviewer] How do you feel about this Russia hook-up? 1744 01:27:03,170 --> 01:27:05,509 Have you heard about that? 1745 01:27:07,580 --> 01:27:09,450 - It's probably bullshit. 1746 01:27:09,450 --> 01:27:11,654 - [Interviewer] You don't think it's gonna work? 1747 01:27:11,654 --> 01:27:14,159 - The instant the Russian video came onto our screen, 1748 01:27:14,159 --> 01:27:16,698 I was backstage, I couldn't believe it, 1749 01:27:16,698 --> 01:27:18,769 I didn't expect we'd actually accomplish it. 1750 01:27:18,769 --> 01:27:21,641 - Many people said this would never happen. 1751 01:27:21,641 --> 01:27:23,512 - Live from Moscow! 1752 01:27:23,512 --> 01:27:25,682 - It's Saturday night! 1753 01:27:25,682 --> 01:27:27,185 (crowd cheering) 1754 01:27:27,185 --> 01:27:28,955 - So Bill flipped out a little bit 1755 01:27:28,955 --> 01:27:30,859 and he pulled the plug on it 1756 01:27:30,859 --> 01:27:33,698 and all of a sudden, he took it off the Diamond Vision 1757 01:27:33,698 --> 01:27:35,869 and pulled the plug on the broadcast. 1758 01:27:35,869 --> 01:27:38,240 - [Man] Hello, what the fuck's the problem? 1759 01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:40,512 - [Man] They're waiting for the video truck. 1760 01:27:40,512 --> 01:27:43,919 - We spent all this effort and time to get this to happen, 1761 01:27:43,919 --> 01:27:48,027 and in some ways the US Festival is a bigger event 1762 01:27:48,027 --> 01:27:52,202 in the Soviet Union than it is in America. 1763 01:27:52,202 --> 01:27:55,509 It legitimized rock and roll in the Soviet Union. 1764 01:27:55,509 --> 01:27:57,111 It was illegal before. 1765 01:27:57,111 --> 01:27:59,517 - I was much well known for this in Russia, 1766 01:27:59,517 --> 01:28:01,186 but not in the United States. 1767 01:28:01,186 --> 01:28:03,023 - [Peter Ellis] It was a really interesting phenomena 1768 01:28:03,023 --> 01:28:04,660 that nobody covered that. 1769 01:28:04,660 --> 01:28:06,631 - Our press wouldn't report a single thing. 1770 01:28:06,631 --> 01:28:08,935 Like peace isn't a topic anyone cares about in the U.S. 1771 01:28:08,935 --> 01:28:12,041 It was a highlight of my life to fight the people 1772 01:28:12,041 --> 01:28:14,614 who said you can't find peace. 1773 01:28:14,614 --> 01:28:16,885 - Our thanks to Mr. Wozniak, 1774 01:28:18,187 --> 01:28:20,759 who's life has been a life leading 1775 01:28:20,759 --> 01:28:22,329 toward this sort of cooperation. 1776 01:28:22,329 --> 01:28:24,867 Thanks to everyone. 1777 01:28:24,867 --> 01:28:28,140 (acoustic guitar music) 1778 01:28:30,646 --> 01:28:34,252 - We had had helicopter drop-ins before. 1779 01:28:35,322 --> 01:28:37,225 It's always awe-inspiring 1780 01:28:37,225 --> 01:28:39,697 to see hundreds of thousands of people. 1781 01:28:39,697 --> 01:28:43,638 Oh my god, that's a lot of people. 1782 01:28:43,638 --> 01:28:45,776 Because when you turn up in a truck 1783 01:28:45,776 --> 01:28:49,784 or a limo, or whatever, you have no real concept 1784 01:28:49,784 --> 01:28:52,322 of the size of some of these things. 1785 01:28:52,322 --> 01:28:55,696 For a moment you feel they're there to see you, 1786 01:28:55,696 --> 01:28:59,670 therefore this huge wave of pressure, 1787 01:28:59,670 --> 01:29:03,010 as you're choppering in, it does occur to you that 1788 01:29:03,010 --> 01:29:05,382 that's a lot of people. 1789 01:29:05,382 --> 01:29:08,855 Seas of them, just as far as the eye could see. 1790 01:29:08,855 --> 01:29:13,431 Oh my god, we're being dropped into a field 1791 01:29:13,431 --> 01:29:16,236 with 300 thousand people. 1792 01:29:16,236 --> 01:29:17,706 It's a big deal. 1793 01:29:18,908 --> 01:29:21,381 (drum beating) 1794 01:29:22,883 --> 01:29:25,889 ("The Chain" intro) 1795 01:30:22,168 --> 01:30:27,178 ♪ Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise ♪ 1796 01:30:34,860 --> 01:30:39,870 ♪ Running in the shadows, damn

01:36:43,096 a very few young people had their own computers. 1843 01:36:43,096 --> 01:36:47,271 - He still had a vision of music and uniting people, 1844 01:36:47,271 --> 01:36:50,677 and building a sense of community using the computers. 1845 01:36:50,677 --> 01:36:52,916 We had a big, big huge tent 1846 01:36:52,916 --> 01:36:55,855 with all the latest technology stuff there. 1847 01:36:55,855 --> 01:36:57,825 - I saw that this was going to be very important, 1848 01:36:57,825 --> 01:37:00,297 these personal computers, in music creation in the future, 1849 01:37:00,297 --> 01:37:02,902 so we had a technology fair at the same time. 1850 01:37:02,902 --> 01:37:06,142 - It was something else, especially what was going on, 1851 01:37:06,142 --> 01:37:09,348 besides the music, there was technology. 1852 01:37:09,348 --> 01:37:11,853 - There were games that people could play, computer games. 1853 01:37:11,853 --> 01:37:13,122 - Give them a chance to see things firsthand, 1854 01:37:13,122 --> 01:37:15,160 try things out and get inspired, 1855 01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:18,132 especially where technology and music crossed over. 1856 01:37:18,132 --> 01:37:21,072 - The sound is actually fed into the computer. 1857 01:37:21,072 --> 01:37:25,146 The computer then takes and basically codifies the sound 1858 01:37:25,146 --> 01:37:29,021 into its own language, or something that is understands. 1859 01:37:29,021 --> 01:37:31,359 - I thought the tech booths were really happening, 1860 01:37:31,359 --> 01:37:33,730 I thought that was really ahead of its time. 1861 01:37:33,730 --> 01:37:36,369 To bring tech, you know, the now, 1862 01:37:36,369 --> 01:37:38,039 into rock and roll. 1863 01:37:39,876 --> 01:37:42,247 - And it was nice, because the traditional view was 1864 01:37:42,247 --> 01:37:44,385 that we're gonna lose our heart and soul, 1865 01:37:44,385 --> 01:37:47,959 as humanity, if we get too into technology. 1866 01:37:47,959 --> 01:37:50,397 It's just cold and calculating and it's all numbers 1867 01:37:50,397 --> 01:37:52,734 and there's no heart to technology. 1868 01:37:52,734 --> 01:37:54,805 And I think Woz understood that. 1869 01:37:54,805 --> 01:37:56,275 - Music's always so important to me. 1870 01:37:56,275 --> 01:37:58,046 I've always gotta have music nearby. 1871 01:37:58,046 --> 01:38:00,417 - In a large sense it's about just his... 1872 01:38:00,417 --> 01:38:03,056 The perfectionist, the creativity, everything, 1873 01:38:03,056 --> 01:38:05,895 and the love for music is at the center of it. 1874 01:38:05,895 --> 01:38:08,433 - All the time as I taught myself to design computers, 1875 01:38:08,433 --> 01:38:10,837 when I was young, music was in the background. 1876 01:38:10,837 --> 01:38:12,942 - It makes a lot of sense, in that the music itself 1877 01:38:12,942 --> 01:38:16,282 is marrying technology with all ways of playing. 1878 01:38:16,282 --> 01:38:19,221 - Marrying all of these lovely things 1879 01:38:19,221 --> 01:38:23,262 that can be in themselves austere, linear, and sort of cold. 1880 01:38:23,262 --> 01:38:27,972 - Today, 30 years later, music is in the realm of computers. 1881 01:38:27,972 --> 01:38:30,477 Whoever would have thought that computers and music, 1882 01:38:30,477 --> 01:38:33,416 of all things, this mystical, beautiful thing, 1883 01:38:33,416 --> 01:38:37,023 that is so undefinable is so computerable. 1884 01:38:37,023 --> 01:38:38,893 - Looking back, I can see now 1885 01:38:38,893 --> 01:38:41,866 that is was prophetic that music and technology 1886 01:38:41,866 --> 01:38:43,102 would come together. 1887 01:38:43,102 --> 01:38:45,340 - And Woz saw a real connection, 1888 01:38:45,340 --> 01:38:48,412 and I think we all did, between the technology and music. 1889 01:38:48,412 --> 01:38:53,222 - Because look what Apple ended up being, iTunes, iPads. 1890 01:38:53,222 --> 01:38:56,262 There's all kinds of ways the music business and technology 1891 01:38:56,262 --> 01:39:00,236 joined hands in a way that nobody could foresee. 1892 01:39:00,236 --> 01:39:02,607 - Well, computers are definitely part of the future. 1893 01:39:02,607 --> 01:39:05,246 So there's no reason to shun them 1894 01:39:05,246 --> 01:39:06,348 and try to stay away from it. 1895 01:39:06,348 --> 01:39:07,985 It is the future. 1896 01:39:07,985 --> 01:39:09,421 - I think that he would sit back now, 1897 01:39:09,421 --> 01:39:11,859 with a little smile on his face, 1898 01:39:11,859 --> 01:39:13,563 and a little chuckle. 1899 01:39:13,563 --> 01:39:15,400 With a little knowing smile. 1900 01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:17,037 He might... 1901 01:39:17,037 --> 01:39:19,141 For sure, he played an important role 1902 01:39:19,141 --> 01:39:22,080 in the bringing together of those two rhythm worlds. 1903 01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:23,249 For sure. 1904 01:39:23,249 --> 01:39:24,451 - Thanks Woz. 1905 01:39:24,451 --> 01:39:25,520 - Thanks Woz. 1906 01:39:31,232 --> 01:39:33,269 - We are proud as a group to be a part of this, 1907 01:39:33,269 --> 01:39:36,008 but this whole thing could not have happened 1908 01:39:36,008 --> 01:39:37,644 without these two gentlemen here, 1909 01:39:37,644 --> 01:39:40,283 Steve Wozniak and, of course, Bill Graham. 1910 01:39:40,283 --> 01:39:41,218 Come on, give 'em a hand. 1911 01:39:41,218 --> 01:39:44,124 (crowd cheering) 1912 01:39:44,124 --> 01:39:46,028 - [Wozniak] And I was just thinking the whole time, 1913 01:39:46,028 --> 01:39:48,499 I am so thankful that I have all this money from Apple, 1914 01:39:48,499 --> 01:39:51,105 that I could do it, because nobody else would. 1915 01:39:51,105 --> 01:39:52,974 - He had a dream 1916 01:39:52,974 --> 01:39:55,580 and he had the wherewithal to have his vision come true, 1917 01:39:55,580 --> 01:39:57,384 which it did. 1918 01:39:57,384 --> 01:39:59,454 - He did what he wanted to do. 1919 01:39:59,454 --> 01:40:02,494 It was done, he had the means to do it. 1920 01:40:02,494 --> 01:40:05,266 And he said nobody else would. 1921 01:40:05,266 --> 01:40:08,706 - It was really one of the great, 1922 01:40:08,706 --> 01:40:10,610 wonderful experiences of my life. 1923 01:40:10,610 --> 01:40:14,084 To do it with Wozniak, and it was something 1924 01:40:14,084 --> 01:40:16,288 I'll remember all my life. 1925 01:40:16,288 --> 01:40:19,261 - I have fond memories of some of the fun we had 1926 01:40:19,261 --> 01:40:21,398 and the people that were there. 1927 01:40:21,398 --> 01:40:24,604 - There's much more significance now, 1928 01:40:24,604 --> 01:40:26,742 this many years later. 1929 01:40:26,742 --> 01:40:28,412 - It really laid the groundwork 1930 01:40:28,412 --> 01:40:32,287 for the high mark of festivals. 1931 01:40:32,287 --> 01:40:34,358 - Sort of like Coachella is today. 1932 01:40:34,358 --> 01:40:36,261 It's absolutely comfortable. 1933 01:40:36,261 --> 01:40:39,601 The grass is clean, the sound system is pristine. 1934 01:40:39,601 --> 01:40:42,640 - And all of the Bonaroos and Outside Lands 1935 01:40:42,640 --> 01:40:44,644 and all these festivals that have now come on 1936 01:40:44,644 -->

resonates. 1950 01:41:24,624 --> 01:41:26,261 This was not Woodstock. 1951 01:41:26,261 --> 01:41:27,897 It should have been. 1952 01:41:27,897 --> 01:41:30,670 Considering the talent. 1953

the best. 1956 01:41:37,917 --> 01:41:40,323 It was definitely the event. 1957 01:41:40,323 --> 01:41:43,429 - It really distilled creme de la creme de la creme. 1958 01:41:43,429 --> 01:41:46,335 It should be up there with Woodstock. 1959 01:41:46,335 --> 01:41:47,504 - There's a feeling of accomplishment 1960 01:41:47,504 --> 01:41:49,374 when you do something like that. 1961 01:41:49,374 -->
