It's great how the interwebtubes let you dig up old rock concert and festival info. Wonder if anyone here was at the Peach Tree Festival in '72. I think me and about 60,000 other people got nice sunburns that weekend.

Nope, I wasn't there, but you remind me of how much fun they were, back before corporate sponsors and stuff.

The girls looked better in hip hugger jeans back then. Today they not only have beer guts hanging over the front but beer backs to boot.

Yeah, and we looked better with our shirts off(as did the gals). I was a few days shy of 18 when i hitch-hiked to this one with a buddy. We were in the first twenty people to climb the gate. Later, there were holes cut in the fences literally wide enough to drive a truck through. Quite the party was had. "Don't eat the green acid!"

Theres a few things my wife and I keep from our kids about our pasts. Thats a nice link Goose. I'll avoid looking in mirrors for the rest of the day.

My most vivid memory of that weekend is a guy walking around with a big paper bag full of pot. He had quite a following (so to speak) so he finally sat down and lit the whole bag on fire. The cops didn't care, there were too many people using too many drugs.

Buncha sick old hippies. You lucky bastards.

Yes your right but we always called em beer bellys in the day. Back when I was growing up everything we ate did not have corn syrup in it. Also back in the day a womans breasts were breasts, some big some small none had silicone in them and all were beautiful.

Hee hee, I'm 58 years old what did you expect?

It looks the same way in old movies. Mercans used to be skinny. The chubby girl in the black top probably had a hard time getting laid back then.
