A lot happened in 1969. Apollo 11, Woodstock, Altamont, Manson murders, the ongoing Vietnam war, Abbey Road, Chappaquiddick
Penn State being ripped off of a National Title by a cheatin' ass President.....
They were followed by CCR. John Fogerty said, that it took nearly half of CCRs set to get the crowd awake after suffering through the Dead set before them. Of course, the Dead and CCR played between 2-4 in the morning, so perhaps that also had something to do with it...

How can anyone forget?!? It's the time when...
LAZY WHITE JUDEO CHRISTIAN BABY BOOMERS - too lazy to fvcking work, btw - spent a weekend doing DRUGS, PROMISCUOUS SEX and acting like, well.... SOCIOPATHS!
Millennials remember it well. Speaks volumes about the character of WHITE JUDEO CHRISTIAN BABY BOOMERS.
Woodstock and Vietnam!!!!!!
I was at the Pocono concert in 71 or 72 (can't recall the exact year) and I woke up in the middle of the night to "Lucky Man" being played by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. I have very few memories from that concert and for good reason.

I was too young to attend either show; I was four years old in 1969, and was seven years old for the Pocono Music Fest in 1972 (and for the record, I did have my tricycle loaded up for both trips, but my parents insisted I take a nap instead).
But, I do remember one of my teachers talking about the Pocono Music Festival, sometime later. She seemed really excited that they would bring a festival like that to Pennsylvania. She was younger than the other teachers - had a bit of a hippie look, and the other teachers wore those cat glasses on a chain around their necks. They of course, did not approve of the music festival. In Pennsylvania or anywhere else.
I was there. Any other Den members that made the trip? We were driving thru NE Pa. on Friday eve & 77 radio out of NYC was talking about this massive traffic jam on the NY thruway. We heard it numerous times before we realized this was our destination. Bought the the NY Post for a nickel "Traffic uptight at Hippiefest". Still have it, My oldest daughter took some of my 'Stock paraphernalia to high school & some creep stole it. That was the ultimate music jam. Monterey Pop Festival earlier in '69 in Cal. was the beginning of these big concerts.
The current idiom is.....LAZY ASS MIDDLE AGED CRACKERS.....
C'mon man, get it right.
FWIW...WXPN is streaming the entire concert - started yesterday @ 5:07 and continues until Sunday morning. For those interested you can stream from www.wxpn.org or PHL folks know the rest 88.5 FM, etc.
So, it was the summer of '72. I was home from school and my parents went to Mexico for the entire summer, pulling a small travel trailer. My dad worked at Bethlehem Steel, and had one of those unbelievable 13-week vacations he got once every five years after 25 years of service. (We went to Alaska in 1962.) Yeah, unions got some good concessions back in those days. My house was party city and I also went to a Rolling Stones concert and a Moody Blues concert, both at the Spectrum. Geez, no wonder I don't remember much from that summer.
I remember the summer of 72 I just graduated HS my grandfather and I just finished putting a roof on my house, it started raining and didn’t let up for weeks. The Schuylkill river flooded our town. My Dad and I took our boat to the flooded area and helped people trapped in their homes get out.
Great version. Love the horns with it. My favorite is Fat Man in the Bathtub, but I love most of their stuff
We are seeing them in Asbury Park. You’re a Jersey guy, get a ticket and see them.
Best I could ( I'm a low tech person) I sent the photo to my PSU friend.
Told him he made a mistake in going back to Happy ☺ Valley.
NYC Hmmmm
I like the fact that she was in favour of Nuclear Disarmament.
,,,cheers
We are at Bethel right now. Tons of things to do and see and Doobies & Santana later.
Family and I were there for santana also. Great show. Doobies good as well, but spent most of their set sh!ting rocks while looking at thunderstorm forecast on weather app. Only got a brief shower which we were prepared for. Santana was awesome. Only wish he would have played Soul Sacrifice in its entirety instead of the 3 min we got.
The venue at BW has by far the best sound out on the lawn of any other outdoor pavilion of its kind that I've been to.
Got home 3:30am.

We left before the encore cause I know better
Got out no issues and home by 12:15. Best to get premium parking for paved lot (we didn’t this show) and get Green Room tix. A little more $$ but AC open air room/bar gets you two drinks and keeps you dry till show time. We had seats in the pavilion. I was jumping up and down with opener Soul Sacrifice & Jingo. Great show and great venue.
We left before the encore cause I know better
We left when you did, any penn state football fan would look at the parking and surrounding infrastructure and instantly recognize the symptoms. But we live in York, soooooo.......We left before the encore cause I know better
A major cultural event in America. BUT, it was more significant at age 25 than it is at age 50. There is no question that zero people will give a shit about it in another 25 years.
I was going to post this a couple times, but kept getting distracted. Thank You
THAT song, and THAT performance, at THAT concert will never ever get old. Could you imagine knowing what you know now, and being able to see that performance live from one of the close location in the field. WOW!
Received an email from my friend.
Said he left Happy Valley in his '61 station wagon with three co-eds,
And returned with two.
