The Laurel Pop Festival was a music festival held at the Laurel Race CourseinLaurel, Maryland, on July 11–12, 1969.
The festival featured Buddy Guy, Al Kooper, Jethro Tull, Johnny Winter, Edwin Hawkins Singers and Led Zeppelin (on July 11); and Jeff Beck, Ten Years After, Sly and the Family Stone, The Mothers of Invention, Savoy Brown and The Guess Who (on July 12).[1]
On July 12, there was a significant rainstorm which delayed the opening set by two hours. As a result, Savoy Brown did not perform.[2]
Despite its line-up of top flight acts, the festival remains unheralded and somewhat forgotten. It took place one month before Woodstock.[3]
