Miami Pop Festival (album)

The Miami Pop Festival (album) refers to various live albums and recordings documenting performances from the two Miami Pop Festivals held in 1968. These festivals, considered important precursors to larger music festivals like Woodstock, featured a lineup of prominent rock, blues, and psychedelic artists.

Several albums and recordings have been released over the years, varying in content and source material. These may include professionally recorded sets or audience recordings, capturing different performances from the festivals. The audio quality and completeness of these albums can vary significantly depending on the source.

Because no single, officially sanctioned and complete album exists for either Miami Pop Festival, releases bearing the title Miami Pop Festival or similar variations generally represent compilations curated from available recordings. These compilations often aim to preserve and present the historic performances that took place at the events, featuring artists such as Jimi Hendrix, The Mothers of Invention, Fleetwood Mac, and more. Due to the fragmented nature of the recordings, album track listings and artist representation can differ substantially across various releases. Careful research is recommended before purchasing any album marketed as the Miami Pop Festival to understand its specific content and origin.
