During the three days of the festival, there were no reported incidents of violence. That’s pretty impressive among the half-million people who were in attendance. No major fights or riots broke out, but there was an incident on stage that involved Abbie Hoffman and The Who.
Hoffman rushed the stage during a break in The Who’s set. Hoffman grabbed the mike then proceeded to rant about freeing John Sinclair from jail. Pete Townsend turned to see what he was doing, then yelled at Hoffman to get off “my stage” and hit the activist in the head with the neck of his guitar.
