About me: The Summer Jam at Watkins Glen was a 1973 rock festival which once received the Guinness Book of World Records entry for "Largest audience at a pop festival." An estimated 600,000 rock fans came to the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Raceway outside of Watkins Glen, New York on July 28, 1973, to see The Allman Brothers Band, The Band, and the Grateful Dead perform. It was the largest musical concert up to that time, with an audience of over 600,000. This summer Hourglass Entertainmnet will honor the 35 year anniversary of this historic event with The Watkins Glen Summer Jam Tribute Concert.

Nothing in the mind's eye could possibly have prepared you for Summer Jam. Part festivel, part controlled riot, and all fun. What I remeber most was a sea of 1 gallon white plastic milk jugs (water jugs) as far as the eye could see.
There will never be another, sadly. But thos of us fortunate or crazy enough to have made the journey treasure these memories above all others.
This is Joanne Hague from the Woodstock - Preservation Archives. I was hoping that there is someone out here who could help me.
We’ve been approached by the publishers of Goldmine Record Album Price Guide (Krause), to author a retrospective of Woodstock at 40. We are trying to amass a daunting 500-700 rarely, if never before seen, photos of Woodstock and the Bethel/White Lake area at that time, to commemorate the 40th anniversary coming up next year..
Our vision of this book is to use photos from festival-goers, crew, townspeople and such and present this book from their perspectives, which will make it different from any others. Included in the book will be memories from people who were there - at the concert, and in the area. Also, pictures of memorabilia from the festival, posters, tickets, stuff from Yasgur's farm, etc., provided we can locate these buried treasures.
We are calling out to everyone who might possibly have photos from that time, or know someone who might have a box tucked away, that could be lent to this project. Snapshots, film footage - any condition. We’re following all leads. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mr. Natural (Fred Natural) is a comic book character created and drawn by the 1960s counter culture and underground comix artist Robert Crumb. The character first appeared in the first issue of Yarrowstalks in May 5 1967.
At first appearance, he is a mystic guru who spouts aphorisms on the evils of the modern world and the salvation to be found in mysticism and natural living. He has renounced the material world and lives off anything he can get in exchange for his nuggets of wisdom.
Usually depicted as slightly overweight (although his size varies), he is bald, has a long white beard, and wears a gown which makes him resemble the Old Testament God or a prophet.
Part wise man, part conman, Mr. Natural has strange, magical powers and possesses cosmic insight, but is also moody, cynical, self-pitying, and suffers from various strange sexual obsessions. He is endlessly being accosted by would-be disciples seeking the truth (among them such long-running Crumb characters as Flakey Foont and Shuman the human). He typically regards them with amused condescension and a certain grudging affection, although his patience often wears thin and he takes sadistic pleasure in making them feel like idiots. While he is typically very cool and in control, he sometimes ends up in humiliating predicaments like getting tossed in jail for child molestation or languishing for years in a mental institution. Enormously popular during the underground comics fad of the '60s and '70s and still enjoying a cult following today, Mr. Natural has been endlessly merchandised -- as a decorative plastic statue and on bumper stickers, posters, T-shirts, etc.
