allman bros were involved with this..those of who lived in the bronx (especially near the #4 train were use to the added sound(s) and never really heard it

This show was originally

This show was originally scheduled a week or so before and cancelled at the last minute because of a truck accident with the equipment or something like that. I remember eating tabs in Brooklyn and taking the longest train ride of my life on a hot rainy day to the Bronx. We got off the train and where told the show was postponed. I started to get really bummed out and didn’t want to get back on a train that high. A couple of older fans (they must have been 18) had beer and joints and told us to hang with them for a few hours before going back to Brooklyn. I never saw those guys again but they really helped us out that day.

George O'Hagan yeah, those of us who grew up in the city got used to the subway noise...kinda like living near an airport. I had just gotten out of the army and was on my way to Europe, but caught ths show. They also joined the Allman Bros at this venue. Anyone know what happened to it?

 

Johnny B Goode at the end

Johnny B Goode at the end was particularly amazing. Fans dancing on roofs, and on top of idle trains.

Drive back home to Long Island that night was something. Rain & Wind was intense. The boys and I must have had an angel on our shoulders.
