Jimi Hendrix might have had to wait several hours to play his 'headline' set - played well after the witching hour at 8am on the Monday - but the fee no doubt calmed any frustrations. He and the Gypsy Suns and Rainbows walked away with $32,000 ($223,300/£184,100 in 2019's money) for their troubles, nearly three times what The Who were paid.
