Eric, the 60s had not hit Northern New York, Watertown in particular, even by 1969. The era finally made an appearance there, but after I was gone. In a manner of speaking, I missed all the goodies of the 60s.

My only story is second-hand. An acquaintance--a rich kid who owned a '67 red convertible Corvette--attended. He said he parked miles from the venue, but still returned to find his car sort of trampled and savaged. Remember, a nearby section of the NY Thruway was closed for a bit due to the press of concert-goers and their traffic!
