It was a stifling HOT HOT day in RFK. At one point I remember fire hoses being sprayed over the crowd to cool things down. I had driven down from Philly with 2 friends and we’d been up all night. Those were the days my friends. I have some pictures of the June 9, 1973 scene that day, which I’ll post here at some point. All in all, it was a trippy marathon that I (somehow) still remember, although there are vast sections of the day that are not in my memory bank.
I got tired of the whole sardine can Rock and Roll
show thing during Doug Sahm’s set. Everyone was just climbing all over each other. So I went up into the stands, just off of stage left and behind a bit for the ‘Dead’s set. Sunny afternoo

I was at this concert at RFK. It was way too hot, and there was no shade where we were sitting, which was way up in the bleachers. I went with friends. We drove down from NY.
I first saw The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East on 2/11/1970 late show when they were the opening act for the Grateful Dead headliners. The Dead were pretty dull, but the Allman Brothers came out on stage to jam with the Dead, which really picked things up. Then, the original 3 Fleetwood Mac guitarists joined the jam, which lasted until morning. The sun was coming up When the doors opened to let people out.
I also saw The Allman Brothers Band on March 13, 1971, the late show, when the Fillmore East album was recorded.
