A friend of mine, Doug Eash, & I thumbed to the concert from Goshen, Indiana. When we arrived at the entrance, the person taking the tickets said we could not enter unless we drank from his jug. The jug contained Electric Orange Koolaid. So...we drank. I remember 10 Years After was playing on stage. We woke up the next morning surrounded by bikers & next to the OD tent. I was scared shitless!!! I was only 17 & I had heard nothing but bad things about bikers. I came from a small Mennonite community! The bikers invited us to have breakfast. We shared some food & smoke with them & then we were on our way. I went away with a warm feeling for the bikers & their brotherhood. We had a wonderful time & the memories have lasted me many, many years! PEACE!

i remember going to glp way way back.. we had a van full.and ran up to the show from kokomo ind.when we arrived at the show i was in hippie heaven.. what a freedom zone! itll never be that cool again.... or will it? to have this venue back for shows will not only stimulate the imagination and the karma,,, but its great for the economy,,,, lets rock! i would be happy to play a slot for thekids there anytime.. might even bring the band...

Goose Lake memories Why Michigan's most important rock fest remains an obscure footnote in rock history - by Mark Deming for the Metro Times

In the summer of 1970, the Goose Lake International Music Festival was held in Jackson, Michigan, and attracted over 200,000 fans. Unlike Woodstock, it didn't rain and most of those folks actually paid to get in. Despite this, Goose Lake remains an obscure footnote in Midwestern rock history, the big show that hardly anyone outside Michigan has heard about.
