A lot of geeks are already aware of just how cool Steve Wozniak is. As co-founder of Apple Computers, he can pretty much claim to have invented the personal computer. He is also responsible for a lot of other minor inventions, such as the universal remote control. But did you know that Steve was responsible for sponsoring one of the biggest rock concerts of the 1980s? How many geeks can claim that? In 1981 after surviving a plane crash, Wozniak decided to quit Apple and spend more time pursuing other interests. One of the things he did with his new found freedom was throw one of the biggest parties that California has ever seen. The 1983 3-day US Festival featured U2, Van Halen, Judas Priest, The Clash, Men At Work, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, INXS, Willie Nelson, Scorpions, Pretenders, David Bowie and way more.
