James Rouse needed something big to attract attention to his vision in Howard County in the mid-1960s. His "new town" had garnered quite a bit of media attention, but he made sure there would be a lot of traffic to the site with the second public - preceded only by the Exhibit Center - to open in Columbia: Merriweather Post Pavilion.

The lineup of music for the second season in 1968 reflected a change. July was again dedicated to the NSO, but starting on Aug. 7, the first pop music act appeared at Merriweather: the Cowsills. This foray into pop music expanded that month with Judy Collins, Arlo Guthrie, Jimi Hendrix, Simon and Garfunkel, Joan Baez, the Doors, Tiny Tim and Country Joe and the Fish.
