Summary/Abstract: This paper shows how the concert at Hajdučka česma established Bijelo dugme as a unique Yugoslav phenomenon. The event is presented in analogy with Beatlemania and mass gatherings of the hippies in the West. Based on research, the paper proves the soundness of the analogy. The study is written on the basis of archival documentation available at the Archives of Yugoslavia (Arhiv Jugoslavije – AY), the Historical Archives of Belgrade (HAB), Yugoslav press (daily, youth, party, political, music, entertainment), interviews with contemporaries, Serbian, Yugoslav and foreign scholars and other literature.
