Bigger Than Woodstock: Summer Jam 1973

14. Port-o-potty Problems

The raceway had bathrooms, but the event organizers brought in portable toilets to accommodate the anticipated attendees. They didn’t, however, anticipate mobs. Despite pouring some $50,000 and 100,000 gallons of water into the sanitation accommodations, the fans still acted like apes. ”Later that night,” reported one concertgoer to dead.net, “someone set the Port-o-sans on fire, so after a whole day of not being able to go to the bathroom, I had to go pee in a burning Port-o-san. It was a completely bizarre environment. At some point, I just had to get away from everybody, because I was so disoriented.”
