The ensemble 'glow' remains, but dΓ©tails are hazy. We hitchhiked west from NJ, to approach from Pennsylvania (thought it an easier route than trying north in NY first).

Grateful Dead played a two hour soundcheck Friday night; then returned for a long morning set.

Both are on archive-dot-org πŸ€“
Look for "Grand Prix July 27 (then 28) Grateful Dead" and you can relive it.

Here's one memory (true) ~ we straggle out of Watkins Glen Park, sometime Sunday morning ~ with $1.27 to get home.

Kids running, passed us and replied to my "Why?" (running) with:
"bro, we have Led Zep tix for tonight, at Mad Square Garden!"

That weekend's two MSG shows, became their movie:
"The Song Remains the Same"
(and the hotel safe theft of Led Zep's >$275K was never solved)
