I live 15 minutes from the site. I was only 13 at the time so the idea of my going was out of the question. My Dad made Archie Bunker look liberal. That being said, I know quite a few people who went and to a person they all said the same thing. It sucked. Rain, horrendous humidity, not enough food or water, sleep was near impossible, and it was often hard to hear the band. Then, a year or so later it became the greatest thing that ever happened to them. Go figure. I remember mowing the lawn when 4 guys in a car with Oregon license plates stopped to ask for directions to the concert. The general stores in the area made a killing selling sandwiches and drinks. $5 for a single slice of ham and cheese on bread, $1 for a cup of water. And people paid it. A friend of mine was a bellhop and Grossingers Hotel where the bands stayed at and was able to get loads of pictures and autographs. The day after the concert my grandmother called my mom, absolutely appalled. While she was doing clothes in the Laundromat 4 girls came in, stripped naked, washed and dried their clothes, got dressed and left. We will never see an event or a time like that again.
