Southern Fried Sunday indeed
A friend proivided complimentary tickets (see photo) to me and a few others to attend this event. The only other act that I remember was McLean And McLean who were a notoriously funny and foul comedy duo from Canada. It was a very hot sunny day and we had to walk down a long road to get to the racetrack site. I brought an acoustic guitar with me and played on the trek and between band sets. We all got pretty baked in the sun. I remember snoozing through a lot of the acts until the buzz came up that ZZ Top were ready. I made my way to the front where there was a chicken wire fence that seemed about 12 feet high. The crowd pressed behind me so that me and my guitar case were pinned to this fence and waving in the wind. The band came out in their mechanic suits and revved it up. They played a lot of that great greasy bluesy rock.
