From an interview with Butch Trucks.

Butch Trucks On Watkins Glen: 'The Band Was Drunk, Dead Tripping And Allman Brothers Band Coked Out'

I was reading in Rolling Stone about the 50th anniversary festival of Woodstock happening this summer. It's being held at Watkins Glen the site of the Mountain Jam in 1973. I was a traveling sales rep at the time. Friends flew to Rochester from NY and we drove to WG. Parked outside the gates and hiked in at night, rolled out our sleeping bags and went to sleep. Awoke with the sun to find ourselves in the middle of 600,000 people! Yahoo!

Rob I thought you might enjoy a bit of musical history today.
