Where was that track in Prairieville? I’ve been told it was near hwy 73 and 61.

Which festival was put on by the guys that owned Montel Records? I remember one of them telling my dad the story about how they hired the Hells Angels for security. Only cost them some wine. Using the Angels for security was actually common practice before Altamont from what I understand.

Not a bad lineup.

There were some good things about hippies.
