I was 19 years old and we camped in the Pecan Grove with the thousands of others... I remember sitting on top of cars to get from the camp grounds to the swimming holes and seeing so many beautiful naked women... I remember I was concerned the first day of "poppin a woody". But after the first day and the drugs...that wasn't a concern... in fact I was just so happy to be there and the feeling of not having any concerns...until the rain when I was peaking... I started to freak because I realized that the only place I could go to get out of the rain was under a wet blanket...the music was great and I was blown away by Jimi and then after Jimi I thought who the F is going to follow that...Jimi was so amazing... and when they finished setting up the stage with just a drum set and a hammond organ.... i said come on are they kidding me... and then i was blown away by Lee Michaels and his drummer Frosty...that was the greatest...glad i was there... until about 2 days later when i got home and i had poison ivey all over my back and spreading up my ass... we had set up camp in a patch of poison ivey...that and a catfish tee shirt were my only souvenirs and great memories... thanks for this site...
