I never heard of that summer jam at Watkins Glen. It must have been a good time. Except I hate big crowds and 600,000 is a lot of people. So maybe I would have had a bad time. How have I never heard about this concert before?
According to some web site:

At Watkins Glen a feeling of monotony and tedium constantly challenged the viewers' interest in the music and the proceed*ings onstage. Long, winding solos were frequent. The heat, the lack of comfort, and the crowded conditions dulled otherwise stirring moments. Many of the 600,000 could barely see the stage, let alone the musicians. And most important, festivalgoers had only one day to soak up the rock-festival aura. Many in attendance were often too busy doing and seeing other things to bother to listen seriously to the music for extended periods of time.
