I don't even recognize the names of many of the groups listed in this thread. Plus, I've never been a fan of heavy metal, either. So the best concert I've been to was Sky River Rock Festival III in 1969, with a lot of the same groups that played Woodstock that year. Unlike Woodstock, it didn't rain at Sky River. It was 3 days of sun, dust, beer, dope, wine, dope, beer, and just about continuous rock music. I wish I remembered more of it. I do recall having to wash about a half-inch of caked on dust off my car after I left. That was the last Sky River festival. Politics in every county made it impossible to obtain the necessary permits after that. I swear, middle-aged officials of every stripe in that era just couldn't stand the thought of young people having a better time on the weekend than they did. I'm glad I'm not like that.
