Fact #117067
When:
Short story:
Torrential rain blights the Pocono International Raceway Festival, aka Concert Ten, in New York State, USA, headlined by The Faces, Three Dog Night, Earth, Wind and Fire, Edgar Winter's White Trash, Emerson, Lake And Palmer, Cactus and Humble Pie. (Black Sabbath and Badfinger were scheduled to appear but both bands cancelled).Full article:
David Cannon (audience) : The Pocono concert had been structured to be a commercially successful version of Woodstock. From where we settled, we could hear music in the distance but we couldn’t see the stage, just the backs of hundreds of people and one totally naked guy whose picture I snapped as the definitive shot of the concept “standing out in a crowd.” Within an hour of arriving, I began to feel so sick that I said I had to go. So we trudged back to the car and drove back home. On Monday I was diagnosed as having walking pneumonia (no boogie woogie flu, however), which took me four days to recover from.
The concert, too, was ill-fated and hit with rain. Black Sabbath and Badfinger canceled, and a total of twelve bands never performed.
