What Happened – August 4

 

It was on this day in 1968 that David Crosby threw a cream pie at Jerry Garcia while on stage.  Or maybe he tossed it at members of Jefferson Airplane…the actual details are kinda hazy. What is known is that it was the last day of the Newport Pop Festival and it was a playful act that had been planned in advance with over 250 pies at-the-ready. Hundreds of people from the audience also joined in what has been called “the biggest pie fight in rock and roll history.” Another highlight of the weekend (which was the first festival to have 100,000 paid admissions) was a helicopter that flew over the crowd while dropping flowers. Performers for the 2-day event included the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds, Alice Cooper, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Steppenwolf, Sonny & Cher, Iron Butterfly, Canned Heat, Chambers Brothers, Country Joe and the Fish, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Blue Cheer, Eric Burdon & The Animals, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Lovin’ Spoonful, and Tiny Tim.
