Milwaukee Brian retweetledi

50 years ago today, an estimated 600,000 fans witnessed the Dead during the Summer Jam at Watkins Glen Grand Prix Raceway outside of Watkins Glen, NY. The July 28, 1973 festival long held the Guinness Book of World Records entry for "largest audience at a pop festival” and featured special extended sets from the Dead, Allman Brothers Band, and the Band and a once-in-a-lifetime jam session featuring players from all three bands.
