For my money Carter Tomassi took THE photographs to capture the flavor of this happening.
Appreciate Carter’s Photographic Essay here.
Carter has started a central place to collect people’s memories.
Lots of good stories and you can add your own about the festival. There is an area for special moments, too.
Were you at The Free Stage? – Carter Tomassi’s has the only photos of which I am aware. It was a long bulldozed trek into the woods. It had sprung up dealer’s camped with signs. Many of the performers played here also. Much more up close and personal. We were unable to loacate its whereabouts in the now built up area. Memories?
We would like to collect your Atlanta stories at this site. Next time you’re deep in meditation about the 1970’s please feel free to send over any stories you remember. We hope to add on memories and pictures from as many people as possible.
