I've only seen Rush and Supertramp out of those.
But I will just name 2 with multiple bands.

Have to mention Pink Floyd Ivor Wynn Stadium 1975

Summer Jam
Watkins Glen New York
The Band, Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers 1973
Larger than Woodstock at 600,000

Strawberry Fields Mosport 1970
Originally promoted by John Lennon and Darlington put the kibosh on that.
Another promoter took it over but only posted in New York State

Strawberry Fields (Canadian festival) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

So there were 2 posters made, here is one.
Bands that played, many from Woodstock the year before.
Zeppelin and Leonard Cohan did not make it.

• Procol Harum
• José Feliciano
• Ten Years After
• Delaney & Bonnie & Friends
• Grand Funk Railroad
• The Youngbloods
• Jethro Tull
• Melanie
• Hog Heaven
• The Freedom Express
• Leigh Ashford
• FAT
• James Ambrose
• Mountain
• Cactus
• Syrinx
• Crowbar featuring King Biscuit Boy
• Luke & The Apostles

Oh God I’ve been to so many. Mostly during my high school and university years.
Stones 5 times. U2 4 times. Rush 3 times. ELP Black sabbath Supertramp. Eagles. Bowie. Peter Gabriel. Simple Minds. Hindreds more.
most memorable would be The Stones at MLP.
Saw U2 at Maple Leaf ballroom on St Clair ina very small venue. Then again at Massey Hall- that was probably the most memorable.

What a great question!

Yeah, but I'm 78 years old...

 

[Jumpin’ Jack Flash]

Bob Geldof at Seneca college auditorium on finch. - he sweated on me.
countless reggae ska festivals
black Uhuro
The Clash at CNE
ultravox Massey Hall
Cosbie Still Nash Young at MLG

 

[gottahobby]

Yeah, but I'm 78 years old...

The only consolation is that it was "bareback only baby" with my girlfriends (no pros), from 1963 though 1979.

Then, sadly, HIV/AIDS came on the scene in 1980, so it was condoms only from that point on...

 

[Jumpin’ Jack Flash]

I spent a couple weeks in London England one summer and was out every night at different venues
best was The Marquis Club. Many great up and coming bands. Even a Sting lookalike singing and playing the sax.

[gottahobby]

And full bush

OK. Time for my best "full bush" story.

I was in my late 20's and had started dating a girl a few years younger in Montreal.

Of course, the third date was the "daty date".

So I went down south, and what did I find?

The last guy's chewing gum stuck in her pubes.

I was like, "Don't you shower or even wipe yourself after you pee?"

She was totally embarrassed. Needless to say that was our last date...

 

[JimiNY]

Yeah, but I'm 78 years old...

Yes, but the memories.
That Summer Jam, went with the girlfriend and a friend and drove an old Volvo down.
Got about 6 miles from the concert, hiked it in.
During, they played all day and the three bands jammed til early morning.
I had lost them and wondered alone the rest of the concert with the new Canadian flag around me.
Was offered a 48 star American flag, I said nah..
Trying to find the 2 man tent was a chore and when I did, it had collapsed and all you could see
was the outline of my girlfriend, lol. People walking over top..lol

Here are a few more

Elton John Yellow Brick with an amazing red head
Johnny Winters with Edgar and Rick Derringer
The Who supposed to be there final concert Exhibition Stadium
Maple Leaf Gardens too many New Years Eve concerts, most of them
Uhhggg, too many

 

[Jumpin’ Jack Flash]

I golfed with Alex Lifeson of Rush as well as Bob Ezrin

 

[Jumpin’ Jack Flash]

funny how from creating a handle on a massage site led to remembering so much forgotten experiences. also just came to mind a cd I have somewhere called “Paint it Blue” of early blues artists that influenced the stones doing their songs. Gotta find that one!

I know, it is crazy that I never went to the El Macambo...missed out there for sure.

I like it better than Mick‘s.
I find the lyrics so moving. Unfortunately most on this site wouldn’t be able to appreciate them as it’s difficult to follow if English isn’t your language
