I am surprised that Watkins Glen Summer Jam
(1973), the biggest Grateful Dead and rock concert in history has
absolutely no video footage in circulation. No home
movies, professional movie footage, even a 30-second contemporary news spot have
ever seemed to surface after 30 years.
Does anyone know if any footage of this mammoth
event (even the Band and Allmans sets) was actually filmed? I'm sure it had to
be. Any event with 600,000+ people had to receive at least some coverage. It
would be great to see what it was like as the 30th anniversary of the event
approaches. Any info will surely help before next
year.
