15 17:00 225,000 In Barefoot in Babylon estimated 200,000 at 4 pm and 250,000 at show start, i.e., an hour later. round to 225,000
15 22:00 300,000 In Barefoot in Babylon estimated 300,000 Friday night
16 10:00 325,000 In Barefoot in Babylon estimated 300,000 Sat AM, but also reports estimate of 1/2 million Saturday early AM, round to 325K
16 22:00 400,000 In Barefoot in Babylon estimate of 400,000 late Saturday ascribed to Mike Lang
17 3:00 325,000 I assess crowd attrition due to burnout
17 10:00 300,000 In Barefoot in Babylon suggested Wavy Gravy proposed breakfast for an estimated 400,000, I suspect attrition and est 300K
17 14:00 250,000 Again, I suggest attrition opposing inflow due to anticipation of Band, BST, J Winter, Butterfield.... Outflow of people winning over inflow.
18 1:00 100,000 The torrential rains after Joe Cocker prompted exodus. After the Band and Blood, Sweat, and Tears I'm guessing on steady crowd outflow due to burnout
18 9:30 30,000 In Barefoot in Babylon estimated Jimi opened to 30,000
