I was there for 3 days, and it was two weeks prior to Woodstock. The lineup was comparable to Woodstock and the music was, of course, phenomenal. My greatest memory of the AC festival had to be the Byrds doing “Eight Miles High”. The crowd erupted and rushed the stage, causing the promoters to temporarily shut the sound to restore order. For me it was a heady thing to hear live what was one of the pyshedelic anthems of that period. Another crazy memory was the Mothers playing “King Kong” for about half an hour. Their only song!

I was their! Thats where I heard about Woodstock. In many ways AC was more fun. But after Woodstock became a slice of ‘Americana” Atlantic City was seldom heard of. At the time ,I believe it was the largest concert of all times. Tom Taras
