To: The Ignorant Fisherman

Got there Friday night. Left Monday morning. Missed Hendrix. Everyone thought it was over. Had to walk five miles to get back to my car. Music was great. Some better some worse. Some the music was great but the show was mediocre. Others the opposite. The best ‘Performance ‘ was a group I’d never think I’d like... ‘Sly And The Family Stone’ put on quite a performance. The Who both had great music and a good on stage presence. I remember the Grateful Dead’s performance was sub par (from drugs? I’ve seen them before and after. They were much better other times). The Band was good but I had seen them in a much more intimate venue and they were better then. Janice Joplin was better when I saw her with big brother. All in all I spend a long time being wet and sitting on a muddy hillside. Slept in a friend’s hearse Friday night and in my own tent Saturday/Sunday.

That being said I’m surprised I remember that much.

Would have loved to watch Pete Townshend kick Abbie Hoffman off the stage.

Please tell me that was Neil Young's hearse, Mort. :-)
