Pink Floyd - Amougies Pop Festival - 'Music Power & European Music Revolution' (1969)

The Amougies Pop Festival, also known as the "Festival of Music and Art", was a music festival held in the small Belgian town of Amougies from October 24 to 26, 1969.
The festival was organized by the Belgian artist and composer Jean Georgakarakos, and featured a diverse lineup of musical acts from around the world, including Pink Floyd and Frank Zappa.
The festival was not without its controversies, however. The local authorities were initially opposed to the festival, and there were concerns about drug use and other illegal activities taking place. The festival was eventually allowed to proceed, but not without some restrictions and monitoring from the authorities.
Despite these challenges, the Amougies Pop Festival was a major success, drawing an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 people over the three days of the event. It is considered to be an important moment in the history of music and counterculture in Europe, and helped to cement the reputation of many of the artists who performed there.

Fun fact: Frank Zappa, despite being probably the only one who's sober onstage, had no recollection of this event ever taking place.

It was also a well known fact that Zappa did not care much for hippies/psychedelic music. Maybe he did not want to be related to the Floyd’s psychedelic music. Who knows?
