Soooooo much fun...one of those roadtrips, shows, times, when the stars aligned...sat sun comin off saratoga, rochester, (green onions) and friday back to htfd for doobie brothers and someone else, then off to The Who after Oxford....wild times indeed...w great friends, old and new
All these years later, I'm still bummed that I missed this wonderful weekend in Maine with the GD. I didn't have a car at the time & was fortunate to get to the one show that summer that I did catch (Saratoga).
Such a great memory! I still see that ultralight flying over the dusty audience. Gooney Birds! Still one of my go to shows when I feel like hitting a time machine.
Let me say me say I believe I'm correct...but I think this woman's name is Debbie, I haven't seen her in a very long time, she was an extremely nice person
Those pics are fantastic. So many crazy adventures. We 'borrowed' a golf cart, took it joyriding... then put it back.
Not sure if it was even allowed, but people were building fires at night. We did one last run to the fields for wood and my buddy dumped a giant log on the fire that housed an ant colony. Gooney Birds and a fire full of escaping ants made us all dash to our tents screaming and laughing. We all recounted very strange dreams the next day. The fun was large for sure.
Thanks for pics! Omg, so many memories....mooing on night 2 was the loudest "MOO" line ever, weaving in and out of the gardern...;)
Never forget the ultralight! ....camped not too far in off road as friends from Uconn had gone to store and bought a king or queen size sheet and wrote "triple j productions, john, jamie, jason PULL IN HERE AND PARK... tied sheet to pole and let it fly...;)....we easily found our friends (ya, i guess we hung out our laundry pre cell phones haha)...there had to be 30 of us camping together...
Remember that American Flag as well...or at least i think i do..
Thank you! Just sat in my backyard, listening to the set I never heard, because I was hiking several miles in from the cornfield I had pitched the tent.
Cant stop thinking about this weekend....it has spurred a whole boatload of texts between myself and many old friends who i went with... i also figured out that this show lands right about half wayy thru my GD career, my first show being 81, and 95 my last, 88 is seven years in w seven to go....of course, back then , i just thought it was another in a long line of great wknd road trips, but, looking back at it now, it was def one the best weeks, and weekends i ever had with this band and with all of you guys....i think every head from northeast was there! Even though, at best , there were only like 50,000 ppl there w 35,000 tix sold...maybe, maybe 60-70,000 ppl at most...as alot of shows it was estimated that twice as many ppl showed up as capacity of venue etc...
I remember also, we came in after Monster of Rock Tour, (w Van Halen and others) and they still had Huey Lewis to go...and man, those ppl did NOT like the Monsters of Rock fans...but, it didnt take long before all the locals were loving us, even offering for us to camp in their yards, and/or feed us, ...i even met a few ppl who had showered at a locals house in between days etc....again, thanks for thread, links, and pics
Leaving, i wont ever forget that streetline...near the venue was filled w full garbage bags, all neatly lined up, like ducks in a row...that street was 8 miles...i think there had to be a mile or so of full garbage bags, as, per usual, we ALL cleaned up after ourselves....thats a site you dont see anymore....;(
