- Well, about a certain as we can be of most annotations. Almost any big-city park has had concerts, but the paradigm of the big, famous, mostly free outdoor concert was at Max Yasgur's farm in the vicinity of Woodstock, NY. It wasn't even first, but it's what the world thinks of. --Old Dickens (talk) 20:27, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

I think that, especially considering the name of the park, it is highly likely that pTerry had Hyde Park in mind.
