Remembers...
I left Decatur, GA in a 1957 Ford packed with people from Gordon High School. I was 17 and we were following a van packed with instuments belonging to a local band Shade(Spelling?) that was playing at the free stage.We all camped together and I remember Radar opened the show and then the Allman Brothers followed shortly. I was sitting next to a fellow from New Orleans that had never heard the brothers. I told him to be prepared to be blown away and he was, we all were. I saw most of the bands including Hendrix, who I had seen in 1968 in Atlanta. I have a DVD of the Hendrix show, he was the highlight. Also enjoyed Poco, Procol Harum, Mountain, Gypsy. One night we were sitting around the campfire passing joints and ripple and folks were stopping by and leaving and a girl came up behind and sat next to me. I turned and spoke and to my suprise, she was nude! Well it was just the times and I pretended not to notice and she acted as fully dressed. I remember catching rides on cars to the lake and river and dying of thurst and heat during the day. |
