I saw a great one there in 75' with the Allman Bros. too. There were reportedly 11,000 people there as so many used to sneak in. I went into the mens room and there was so many people it took a few minutes to squeeze out. All the aisles hd people sitting on the stairs. If something happened that caused a panic I really think it would have been like the Cincinatti Who concert. Luckily nothing happened and Greg Allman told the crowd, "Don't bother requesting anything, cause we're going to play every damn thing you know." They did. I remember me and two buddies snuck in a whole case of Schlitz kingers. Ah, the 70's.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791832109113968376noreply@blogger.com
