1970:
A Youthbeat reader poll was used to help decide which acts to invite to the first (and only) Man-Pop (Manitoba Music Museum) Festival. Led Zeppelin had twice as many votes as the second place band, Three Dog Night, and more than three times as many votes as the Rolling Stones.
"If 1967 was San Francisco's fabled Summer of Love, Manitoba's own version of hippie peace, love and music took place in 1970.
"Manitoba's Summer of Love concluded on Aug. 29 with ManPop 70, a provincially funded rock festival headlined by Led Zeppelin and Iron Butterfly. This time, the rain returned with a vengeance. What began as an outdoor concert for some 14,000 at the football stadium finished up more than 15 hours later inside the old Arena. It was one of the most memorable shows ever to grace a Winnipeg venue, with Zeppelin taking the makeshift stage well past midnight."
~ Winnipeg Free Press, John Einarson 2013
The Man-Pop Festival started at one outdoor location and because of rain, ended up in an indoor arena. Not all of Led Zeppelin's equipment made it to the second location, which wasn't set up for music. As Plant later said, "...the building we were in wasn't too hot on the old acoustics was it?" Led Zeppelin came onstage around midnight and said goodnight three hours later, "...leaving the audience both exhausted and satisfied" according to the Winnipeg press.
