The 4 of us from around the USA (Chicago, Oakland, Hawaii) i was born in Fla., so it made sense for me to drive, until lunch in Ft.Myers . we had theese empty glass vials lead sealed, so the 2 of us that probably set some sort of record for carelessness.
What a wonderful scene it was, heads everywhere, roads closed all over downtown, camping right next to the venue. 2 of our crew had rooms in the hotel right next to the venue, as did a lot of dheads, and the hotel looked like something out of the haight, heads everywhere, tyedye everywhere, hanging out of windows, streets full of parties and partying people, enlightment everywhere for 2.00 a hit. This was a great two night run in st. pete.
One of the crew wrote the hotel after the show, stating that they had gone to the hotel for a nice quite weekend, and what they got was hippies hanging out all over the hallways, of course, this was not the case as they were heads and was just trying to scam the hotel, guess what, it worked, they got a letter back appoligizing for the mix up and got free weekend stay at hotel of choice anywhere in US, plus a refund for the weekend.
I had stood in line for 24 hrs to get tickets for everyone, got them for first night, but could only get ticket for myself for 2nd nite, which is another story.
I remember standing on the floor just behind third row center when the lights went down. I hopped over into the seat in front of me and its owner never showed. Weir's under-drum-riser guitar cabs were pointed right at my head and they were LOUD! Good times, although I bet my memory of it is better than the tape.
