The gathering at Watkins Glen in July of 1973 is one of the most memorable events in the annals of rock history. An estimate 600 000 music fans gathered at a speedway in upstate New York for a day of unbelievable music and good times. At the time this was the largest attendance ever for a rock festival. The Grateful Dead The Band and The Allman Brothers: three of the most influential and talented electrified purveyors of the American roots music tradition took the stage for this once in a lifetime gathering.
