I was 18 when I attended this. It was 25 miles from my house. Supposedly
Jimi Hendrix's last live performance took place here. Seems like a lifetime ago...but I
remember it so well. The smell of pot, hash, hash oil, etc. was in the air. Cokes were
selling for $3 each, cigarettes were $1 each, a hamburger was $5 each, a hotdog
was $3....kinda like Disney World....or a pro sporting event now. Boobs as far as
the eye could see....and girls were just giving it away for the asking. Good times
....good times.....I miss those days so much. 300,000 people and you never saw
a fight.
