Brock - incredible that you should post this. THANK YOU! I was in the aisle between the mixing tower and the stage that Saturday as a 15-year-old wannabe pro photographer whose dad was working the show. I'm teaching film photography to our daughter, pulled some August Jam photos from the accordion file to show her some of the work her dad used to shoot and then develop and print in his parents' bathroom darkroom, needed to check a few facts before posting the photos on BathroomDarkroom.com, stumbled upon your video and was able to show her the exact moment when I made an image of Jim Dandy holding the flag. Shivers went up my spine when I saw the exact spot on the film. You made this dad's day by being able to take our now-16-year-old daughter back four decades for a little history lesson.
Stop by BathroomDarkroom.com to take a look at some other August Jam photos. I need to go back through my negatives to see what else is in there that didn't make the printing list forty years ago. And Clap for the Wolfman!
You are more than welcome and that's just wonderful, Alan! So good to hear this! My fifth daughter, Dixie is 17. Where do you live? We are in Cape Carteret and Tarboro.
I was there with my then boyfriend, now husband. It was a blast and we enjoyed it a lot. Most certainly our kind of show. I don't remember exactly where we were but we were near the stage. This is great, thanks for the memories.
I was there...I think I was 19..I sat on the Concrete stands...at stage Level...the quad speakers sounded great.....All the drugs were good....Mostly the LSD....It was wonderful......then after ELP The Almond Bro's mellowed us out..Those days are gone......what a shame...Rayman
it was the best time...i still talk about this concert to this day...then found all this incredible pics after searching for years...thanks for all the posting..i dont ever remember any rain...know it was hot !
wow - so cool to find this - the last hooray for me before leaving for college - we rode down with friends from Greensboro and hitched back - what an experience. the mud - the heat - the bands.
I was 18 and we climbed on top the rotten fiberglass grandstand for a better view but debris fell below into the stands in stands below and they tossed cherry bombs at us and we got down.
