    In 1969, the music festival Woodstock took place. 500,000 people showed up but the numbers swelled down to below 300,000 while they were waiting for what rockstar?

    • Kirk Hammet

    • Eric Clapton

    • Roy Orbison

    • Jimi Hendrix

    • Eddie Clarke

    Correct Answer
    A. Jimi Hendrix
    Explanation
    In 1969, the iconic music festival Woodstock attracted a massive crowd of 500,000 people. However, before the performance of Jimi Hendrix, one of the most influential rockstars of all time, the numbers dwindled down to below 300,000. This suggests that many people left the festival before Hendrix's performance, possibly due to fatigue, other commitments, or simply not being interested in seeing other artists. Jimi Hendrix's performance at Woodstock is widely regarded as one of the most memorable and iconic moments in music history.
