Getting too old & cantankerous to enjoy camping with the dubious pleasures of standard Rock Festival facilities and amenities, of late I've only attend three-day festivals on a single day.

Cambridge Rock 'n' Beer festival 2008 (Attended Sunday only for this impressive line-up):
 Marillion
 Andy Fairweather-Low
 Mostly Autumn
 Jim & Geoff (Caravan)
 The Reasoning
 John Otway
 Breathing Space
 Touchstone
(We were at the Latitude Festival the day before to see Sigur Ros and The Mars Volta)

and 2011 Weyfest:
(Attended Sunday only - Bill Posters Will Be Band, ATF, Anna Phoebe and Steve Hackett and then promptly left as Azzzzzzzzzzia took the stage)

I was at the Brain Festival in Essen on Feb 26th 1977, being only 8 years old! i accompanied my older brother and mostly sat on his shoulders. The bill was Gate, Release Music Orchestra, Message, Ruphus, Novalis, Guru Guru, Jane and Klaus Schulze. The first rock concert I ever attended. I had been to the opera for the first time two months before (a production of Engelbert Humperdinck's opera "Hänsel und Gretel"), which was my first attendance to a concert ever.

Im with you Dean, I attend 3 festivals a year but they are all relatively small, have hotel accommodation and there's seating for the bands. I'm getting too old and grumpy to put up with discomforts.

Several live albums were recorded at the Rainbow in 1973 including Can (Can Live), Black Sabbath (Past Lives), Sweet (Live at the Rainbow) and Genesis (Genesis Archive Disc 3), as well as an unreleased ELO live album.
Oops, thanks for clarifying, Dean.

I found out from someone who was at the 1973 September Krefeld German Rock Festival, that Triumvirat did not show.
         Triumvirat were at this festival, though, which took place on March 2nd and 3rd, 1974, along with Birth Control, Emergency, Grobschnitt, Hoelderlin, Jane, Live, Udo Lindenberg, Abacus, Agitation Free, Eloy, Guru Guru, Karthago, King Ping Meh, and Kraan. This would have coincided with the brand new European release of Illusions On A Double Dimple. Oh, to have a time machine!

The only multi-day music "festival" I've every been to was the first Cruise to the Edge.  It was nice to be able to just walk back to your room for a nap!  LOL
