THE BIGGEST MUSIC EVENTS IN HISTORY
Music festivals are huge these days – both in size and in popularity. However the events attracting the largest Crowds occurred when many of us had not even been born. Read on to find out more about four of the biggest concerts of all time.
A WOODSTOCK, 1969
The Woodstock Music & Art Fair changed the history of rock and roll for ever. It was the first time such a large crowd of music lens had gathered in one place. Around 400,000 people, many of them hippies, arrived on 15 August at a dairy farm in Bethel, New York to enjoy ‘three days of peace and music’. The first to arrive had purchased tickets, but the temporary fences were cut the day before the festival started, allowing thousands more to enter without paying. Legendary artists like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Santana, and The Who were just a few of the 32 acts that, appeared on stage that weekend. Others were prevented from performing, including John Lennon, who was refused an entry visa to the US, and Bob Dylan, who was in hospital with one of his children.
B ISLE OF WIGHT, 1970
Although Glastonbury is generally recognized as the biggest music festival in the UK (the Glastonbury Festival in 2013 attracted 135,000 visitors), this event was even bigger. The Isle of Wight Festival started in 1968, and it takes place annually on an island off the south coast of England. Around 10,000 people attended the first festival, which was quite modest compared to the crowd of 600,000 that turned up two years later. Some of them had tickets, but many people watched the event free from the large hill overlooking the site. The main attraction was the impressive line-up Jimi Hendrix and The Who again, accompanied this time by Joni Mitchell, The Doors, Chicago, and Miles Davis, among others. Unfortunately, the unexpectedly high attendance led to the Isle of Wight Act of 1971, which banned gatherings of more than 5,000 people on the island. However, in 2002 the festival was revived and it has been expanding ever since.C US FESTIVAL, 1983
This event was the second of two festivals organized by Steve Wozniak, one of the co founders of Apple Computers. The 1983 festival was held in Devore, California from 28 May to 30 May and it featured exhibitions of cutting-edge technology, as well as music. All of the big names were there including U2, The Clash, The Ranones, and David Bowie. Despite attracting around 670,000 people, who each paid $37.50 for a three-day pass, Wozniak is estimated to have lost nearly $20 million from the festivals. This is mainly due to the massive fees charged by some of the main acts David Bowie earned $1 million for his appearance, and Van Halen received $1.5 million. In contrast, The Clash refused to play unless the organizers and some of the other bands donated some money to charity.
D NEW YEAR’S CONCERT RIO, 1994
Instead of opting for a traditional venue like a football stadium, of which there are many in Brazil, the Scottish artist Rod Stewart decided to stage this concert on Copacabana Beach. The event was held on 31 December and it was attended by an estimated three and a half million people. The reason why so many people went along was that the concert was completely free. The singer saw it as a gift to the poor people of Rio de Janeiro and as a way of giving something back to his multitude of fans. The best moment of the concert was when the crowd joined in with the superstar to count down the remaining seconds to the start of the New year Rod Stewart’s 1994 New Year’s concert In Rio appears today in the Guinness Book of Records as tne largest free concert in history.-

THE BIGGEST MUSIC EVENTS IN HISTORY
Music festivals are huge these days – both in size and in popularity. However the events attracting the largest Crowds occurred when many of us had not even been born. Read on to find out more about four of the biggest concerts of all time.
A WOODSTOCK, 1969
The Woodstock Music & Art Fair changed the history of rock and roll for ever. It was the first time such a large crowd of music lens had gathered in one place. Around 400,000 people, many of them hippies, arrived on 15 August at a dairy farm in Bethel, New York to enjoy ‘three days of peace and music’. The first to arrive had purchased tickets, but the temporary fences were cut the day before the festival started, allowing thousands more to enter without paying. Legendary artists like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Santana, and The Who were just a few of the 32 acts that, appeared on stage that weekend. Others were prevented from performing, including John Lennon, who was refused an entry visa to the US, and Bob Dylan, who was in hospital with one of his children.
B ISLE OF WIGHT, 1970
Although Glastonbury is generally recognized as the biggest music festival in the UK (the Glastonbury Festival in 2013 attracted 135,000 visitors), this event was even bigger. The Isle of Wight Festival started in 1968, and it takes place annually on an island off the south coast of England. Around 10,000 people attended the first festival, which was quite modest compared to the crowd of 600,000 that turned up two years later. Some of them had tickets, but many people watched the event free from the large hill overlooking the site. The main attraction was the impressive line-up Jimi Hendrix and The Who again, accompanied this time by Joni Mitchell, The Doors, Chicago, and Miles Davis, among others. Unfortunately, the unexpectedly high attendance led to the Isle of Wight Act of 1971, which banned gatherings of more than 5,000 people on the island. However, in 2002 the festival was revived and it has been expanding ever since.C US FESTIVAL, 1983
This event was the second of two festivals organized by Steve Wozniak, one of the co founders of Apple Computers. The 1983 festival was held in Devore, California from 28 May to 30 May and it featured exhibitions of cutting-edge technology, as well as music. All of the big names were there including U2, The Clash, The Ranones, and David Bowie. Despite attracting around 670,000 people, who each paid $37.50 for a three-day pass, Wozniak is estimated to have lost nearly $20 million from the festivals. This is mainly due to the massive fees charged by some of the main acts David Bowie earned $1 million for his appearance, and Van Halen received $1.5 million. In contrast, The Clash refused to play unless the organizers and some of the other bands donated some money to charity.
D NEW YEAR’S CONCERT RIO, 1994
Instead of opting for a traditional venue like a football stadium, of which there are many in Brazil, the Scottish artist Rod Stewart decided to stage this concert on Copacabana Beach. The event was held on 31 December and it was attended by an estimated three and a half million people. The reason why so many people went along was that the concert was completely free. The singer saw it as a gift to the poor people of Rio de Janeiro and as a way of giving something back to his multitude of fans.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
RENTING: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Students have always lived in rented accommodation, but now they are being joined by people in their thirties and forties who cannot afford to buy their own place. Arguments are common between the landlord, who owns the flat, and the tenants, who live there, but you can avoid these by reading the following tips.
Don’t ignore the small print
You will have to sign a contract called a tenancy agreement when you move in to your rented house or flat. Before you sign any kind of agreement, you should read it through first. Check that it includes all the relevant information, especially whether the rent includes bills, such as water and electricity. You also need to know whether you can leave before the contract finishes and if so, when you should tell the landlord.
Housemate troubles
With a joint tenancy agreement, each person in the house has equal rights to remain there and you can’t make anyone leave. One of the most common problems is money, because all of the tenants share responsibility for the rent. This means that if one person doesn’t pay, the law says that the other tenants have to cover the unpaid rent between them. Unfortunately, it isn’t often easy to get the money back from the person who didn’t pay.
Keep good records
It is much easier to solve a dispute if you have proof of payment, so you should always put bills in a safe place. This is especially important when you eventually come to move out. The question of repairs is often a reason for disagreement between landlords and tenants, so make sure you keep the receipts for any items you have replaced. Don’t forget to take photos of anything that was broken when you moved in, so that you can prove that you are not responsible for the damage.
When it’s time to leave
Most tenants have to pay a deposit when they move in to rented accommodation to cover any damage they may cause. The law says that the landlord should give back your deposit within ten days if you both agree on the amount. Disputes often occur over the definition of the word ‘damage’. The landlord cannot keep your deposit because of damage caused by ordinary use, but he can if you burn a hole in something.Question:
In the past, fewer people in their thirties and forties rented flats or houses.
