***** ANYONE WHO WAS AT THIS *****
*****CONCERT PLEASE CONTACT ME, THANK YOU *****
Here's a map that I got from MS Street and Trips. Bull Island is the part of Illinois that is protrudding into Indiana. From inside the concert, we kept hearing that Indiana wanted to shut it down but it was on Illinois land. Illinois wanted to do the same but didn't have a navy, lol. Both state were very pissed off at the promoter. I think he was fined. I know whoever put on the show lost money.

I was there for 2 days. I have a copy of the t-shirt design I sold .I even sold the one off my back to a guy from canada who followed me around wanting a shirt. I think it was the only souvenir. Stephen Reutter

I was there, briefly...exhaused from a 16 hr trip, we crushed weeks made a campfire and i crashed in a sleeping bag. The fire went out and someone in a pickup truck ran me over...Bummer...broken ribs and a crushed vertebrae and 37 yrs later it still seems surreal

annhamm: My parents owned a cabin on Black River at the time of the festival so I rembember a lot. A friend on my dads they also owned a cabin next door to us had some busness dealings with Mr.Alexander and Mr.Duncan the promoters.They had hired my dads friend to drill 2 sandpoints and set up 2 water systems run by genaratres,the equepment was stored in our shed. The sand points were drilled,before the job was finished my dads friend tryed to cash the check written to him for the equepment and the labor,Guess what.. The account was closed!!!!! so all of the items went back to Evansville for a refund so my dads friend was not stuck paying the bill.So I guess that is why there was no water.I HAD BEEN TOLD NOT TO GO TO THE ISLAND,I was to start my sophmore year of high school,I had not seen a lot of life a that time,but I saw a lot there,I had never saw a person doing IV drugs.A friend and I took a short cut across a dam to get to the island,[after we were told not to go by my dad] when we got to the dam there were girls about my age swimming nude,and mu dad and 4 of hid frinds were liting cigs. for the girls, ran back to our cabin to get my mom,dad and his friends went back to the cabin with my mom behind him.That was the chance to go to the island,there were cattle on the island,some of the people had killed a cow and was cutting it up to eat..I talked to some friends that had got a hamburger, gave the window person twenty dollar bill and got no change back there is on wonder they were burned out, they were A rip off.I have told my daughter about the festival I dont think she believes any thing could have happened in posey county.. Yesterday she and I drove to this area wow what a shock this place around Bull Island is a dump, it looks like crack city. Not at all what I remember as a kid.I guess that is what happends with time.
