Did a Rock Festival break up the BEATLES!? In 1969, pop/rock music impresario John Brower made a phone call that would change the course of music forever. Starring John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Eric Clapton, Jim Morrison and many more...
Come party like it's 1969
As a favor to the father of his friend Bob Guccione Jr., Brower agrees to produce a Rock Festival in the wilds of Stateline Idaho for a mysterious character named Jack Butler. Bad idea. With little or no control of the financial dealings but yet out front to the media and music industry, he sets out to bring rock and roll to a failing motor racing track. This is a real-life sequel to Johnny Brower's story, 'POP 69' except this festival burned to the ground. Click here to visit the website.
Canada's legendary 1980 Heatwave Festival was the brainchild of concert promoter John Brower, who was based in Toronto. Brower established his reputation a decade prior as the man behind the 1969 Rock and Roll Revival concert (aka "Live Peace In Toronto," which featured John Lennon's debut live performance outside the Beatles) and the 3day Woodstock-esque Strawberry Fields Festival held at Mosport Park the following summer. Thousands of people attended this event, and the Heatwave Festival would become one of Canada's most memorable musical events. Click here to read more...
