The Edmonton International Pop Festival seemed doomed from the start; put together and promoted at the last minute at Speedway Park by Edmonton businessmen under the name North American Events, the festival attracted big names such as Joan Baez, Billy Preston , Blues legend Albert King, the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (coming off their landmark live LP with Procol Harum), along with lower billed but still well-known acts as Cold Blood, Elvin Bishop, The James Gang (who ended up bailing when the the terms of their contract was in their words"not honored") and various other bands and multi-media artists.
One oddity was the appearance of the band The Family Stone; presumably the complete backing band of the then-ultra-hot on the charts Sly Stone, the band turned out to be The Family Stone's backing vocalists (including Sly's sister Vet) who also performed as Little Sister, Sly's brother (and Family Stone co-founder) Freddie Stone and a pick-up band put together especially for the festival.
