​

         The Untold Story of the Largest paid U.S. Concert Ever!

​

150,000 tickets sold. Over 600,000 showed up — the largest audience ever for a paid concert in U.S. history. Fifty-three years later, this documentary will tell that story for the first time, featuring The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, and The Band.

​

  ​      Why Invest in the documentary?

​

  • No film has ever told this story — vérité footage and rare archival material tracing how promoters Jim Koplik and Shelly Finkel, against all odds, pulled off the biggest festival the world had ever seen.

  • Koplik and Finkel, our Executive Producers, were the actual event promoters — unmatched access and authenticity.

  • Production is underway and nearing completion. Funding covers final interviews, editing, licensing, graphics, and distribution prep.

  • Music docs have strong studio appeal, with revenue potential across theatrical, TVOD, SVOD, and AVOD.​
