A quick search on the web for basic set list information on the event led me to conclude that there was a lot of shit that went down there I had no idea about. CCR? Johnny Winter? Neil Young? Mountain? The Incredible String Band? It got me thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Mainly, it got me thinking: is there a snowball&#8217;s chance in hell I would have ever braved the traffic jams, the weather, the stench, and the bad acid to check out this show? And if not: how would the show have to have been edited to get me up there?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I&#8217;m just as eager to understand your opinions on the subject.
