Here is Mz Toots taking pictures of Sweetwater, a great band featuring a cello. The interplay between the two main vocalists, Nanci Nevins and the flute playing Albert Moore, were magical and full of love like a jazzed out Jefferson Airplane.
Here is Sweetwater
Local favorites The Allman Brothers had been signed by a phony promoter and were not allowed inside when they arrived. Yet later the announcer said a band driving by on I-75 had been stopped with the traffic, so they had asked to play. They were Grand Funk Railroad.
Fire trucks sprayed the crowd to cool the air. People got wet, some naked, some muddy. We camped in our bus with friends around a communal pot and pot under a few pecan trees. Everyone welcomed the sunset. Joe Cocker poured out his soul. We planned to leave, but saw a leather jacket proclaiming- “I came from England to see Led Zeppelin”. We are ever grateful we decided to stay to hear this unknown band.
Little did we know what the next day would hold...TheGrateful Dead!
