The first Desert Trip weekend took place at Empire Polo Grounds, Indio, California from Friday, October 7 – Sunday, October 9.
The Los Angeles Times reports capacity of around 75,000 per day, who saw Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, The Who and Roger Waters perform at the festival.
Dylan opened the weekend, performing “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” at the piano, closing with “Masters Of War”.
He was followed by the Stones, whose set featured several surprises. The ban covered The Beatles’ “Come Together” and performing Eddie Taylor’s “Ride ‘Em On Down” for the first time since the early Sixties; the song appears on their forthcoming Blue & Lonesome album.
Other surprises included Neil Young joining Paul McCartney on the Saturday for three songs, “A Day in the Life”, “Give Peace a Chance” and “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?”.
The same artists return for a second weekend on October 14, 15 and 16.
