Anyone remember Michigan Woodstock? Goose Lake Park

[fistfulladirt]

Goose Lake concert, Grass Lake, Mich. Aug 7, 8, and 9, 1970. I was only 7 years old, so I don't remember....70,000 tickets sold, perhaps 200,000 in attendance. Rocknroll bands like Mountain, Jethro Tull, James Gang, and Michigan bands - Bob Seger, Mitch Ryder, Brownsville Station....I think there were 23-25 bands there, a couple fresh from Woodstock, the year before.
I visited friends camping there again last year, this place is huge and acres and acres of rolling land, the stage setup, light towers, and small rundown buildings are still there from 1970.
This area is seperate from the campgrounds, just wonder if anyone has ever been there or has detected that area. ffd

Now, now, now..

WHY, would you want to DETECT there?


Everybody KNOWS dirty hippies didn't have any MONEY.








Of course, NOW, they have leveraged their way into positions of authority, but THEN......no, BREAD, man..



on a serious note:
Still bet you could pull a LOT of silver there...

Far out man....... I can DIG it!

I was too young for that but I made it to Gordons Creek and Silver Valley in the mid 70's. Wild times.

I read that this was largest gathering of peoples next to woodstock, it was downplayed due to all the negative publicity and blatant drug use. ffd

I was 17 on the entrance ramp to I-75 to to hitch a ride there when my dad found out and came and got me, made me get in his car and go home! My friends said it was great. Don't forget Teagarden and VanWinkle the 2 piece keyboard and drums band!

You are right Robo, I mentioned the campground in my first post. Just wondering if anyone has detected the property. ffd
