SOME FACTS

Also at this festival the cops (about 50) showed up in riot gear, helmets, face shields, night sticks, and tear gas and had a scuffle with some gate crashers. The cops set off some tear gas under the right side bleacher where the gate crashers were located. Of course the gentle breeze that was blowing carried the tear gas along below the terrace level to the people watching the concert. The gas had dissipated somewhat and there was really no place to go. Everyone stayed calm until the tear gas drifted away. The cops sat down in the bleachers where the gate crashers were ejected from and watched the rest of the concert. I know I was there. Stay Safe .. Bruce - Colorado.
Hey great
info Bruce, thanks!! .. I have never been to a fest with full kitted riot police in action !! .. Glad it didn't ruin the gig .. something exciting to look back on and to tell the grand kiddies!

Three Dog Night played on Friday night before Frank Zappa.
Three Dog Night were so popular that, after playing a gig Saturday night in Salt Lake City, they brought them back on Sunday night as the lead the in-band for Jimi Hendrix. It doesn't show up on the playlists because they weren't
originally scheduled on Sunday.
I know about this because I was there. It was awesome.
Thanks, Barry Wilson
Thankyou Barry for that very interesting information
and they are now up on this list .. Bev
