Bigger Than Woodstock But Somehow Forgotten-The Summer Jam 1973 Music Festival!

Organizers Were Pleased

When the 1973 Summer Jam in Watkins Glen wrapped up, the organizer Jim Koplik told  Rolling Stone, “Things went so well there’s a chance we’ll do another one, but not this year. Henry Valent [of the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Association] says, ‘No more.’ We can’t do one of this magnitude. He asked me, ‘How can we hold things down the next time?’ I told him, ‘I don’t know how we got all those people here in the first place.’”
