The largest rock concert ever conceived was coming to town..... Three days, not hours, of Music..... Camping out under the stars..... This was going to be a "serious" party!!
Months to plan the trip..... Save some money..... Create believable lies for parents, bosses, loved and unloved ones..... Round up your travel buddies or lover and hit the road.
Upstate New York was ready. The city, county, and state officials knew what to expect and felt confident in their abilities to handle traffic, crowd control, sanitation, medical emergencies, and any unexpected problems. They were prepared.500,000 guests!
