Watkins Glen Rock Concert Draws Record Crowd
Over the weekend Watkins Glen hosted what was described as the largest rock concert ever with an estimated 600 000 attendees though 150 000 had been expected. The event featured the Grateful Dead the Band and the Allman Brothers Band. A Syracuse sky diver died when explosives he carried detonated during landing. Nearby farms suffered heavy damage as fields fences and livestock were harmed. Cleanup is massive though promoters plan another show in September amid resident misgivings.
