Often referred to as the 'Black Woodstock' "Wattstax was a benefit concert put together by Stax Records to commemorate the community of Watts, Los Angeles after its 1965 riots. The concert took place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on August 20, 1972. The concert's performers included all of Stax's prominent artists at the time" (wikipedia). Thus the name Watts-Stax. Anyway, it is worth seeing the documentary on DVD. This 1973 double record release contains part of the music played in the concert. The full concert music was released on a 3 CD box set.
