Can't pinpoint the year , but I know my dad drove my brother and I and friends the two hour trip to a music festival at the LA coliseum [thanks Dad!!
] so I was either too young to drive or over sixteen but he didn't want me making the drive. so 1970-1973.
If anyone has any idea what concert I'm talking about ,
it would be
greatly appreciated.
It was an all day , act after act concert put on by a radio station. We were sitting freestyle, on the lawn. It is now a blur, but I believe the Bee Gees were there and I'm pretty sure The Supremes. I feel like Stevie Wonder too, but maybe wishful thinking ...
Of this, I remember most: Sly Stone was the last act. The show was running late and Sly came out and farted around. I recall him saying "I feel goooood" loudly into the mic ,the comment reverberating above the crowd. But by the time his band was ready to play, the time to end the concert had come, 10:00?? The lights to the stadium came on and Sly was insisting they turn them off. He protested for awhile, "Turn off those lights!" , but it was clear the night was over , and before he could sing a note, the sound system went off and everyone began filing out. lol!
Anyone else there for this ??
