Jimi Hendrix – $30,000 for two sets and another $2,000 for expenses. It is important to note that there was a $15,000 cap per artists, but they made an exception for Jimi because he played two sets.
Blood, Sweat & Tears – $15,000
Joan Baez – $10,000
Not all performers were as paid as the previous three, but they still made a decent amount of cash for 1969.

The Who – $6,250
Richie Havens – $6,000
Arlo Guthrie – $5,000
