I remember the Palm Beach Festival, I was going to St. Petersburg Jr. College at the time and wanted to go really bad, but couldn't find anybody to go with or wanted to miss school. The funny thing was, I had bought King Crimson's first album 'The Court of the Crimson King' and was playing it non-stop and that was the band I wanted to see the most, as well as Grand Funk and the Chamber Bros. Every band had some great songs then, 1969 is my favorite year for music.
