For The New York Times. Black & White negatives and contacts, 35mm color slides and original tearsheets.
Close ups of Bob Weir, Donna Godchaux (member from 1972-79) and Jerry Garcia.

The July 28, 1973, event long held the Guinness Book of World Records entry for "largest audience at a pop festival," with an estimated 600,000 fans in attendance at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Raceway. Approximately 150,000 tickets were purchased in advance, the rest being admitted in what became a "free concert".
