Stephen Stills - 1979-09-08 - Brookhaven, NY (FM)

With today's post, we resume our "New York, New York" theme for September here at So Many Roads. While New York City has a host of world class, indoor concert venues such as Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, The Beacon Theater, and Radio City Music Hall, the Big Apple and its surrounding communities often turn to their horse racing tracks to host major outdoor shows. For example, on September 8, 1979, 33 years ago today, Parr Meadows Race Track in Brookhaven, Long Island hosted a concert in honor of the 10th Anniversary of Woodstock. A crowd of 40,000 turned out for the show, hardly the “half a million strong” from 1969, but still twice what an arena the size of Madison Square Garden could hold. The ten hour show featured a number of artists who played at the original Woodstock Festival, though many of them were now flying solo, such as Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian, Leslie West, Jorma Kaukonen, Paul Butterfield, Rick Danko and Stephen Stills. Stills made his independent status quite evident, playing just 2 song, For What It’s Worth and Woodstock, from his days with Buffalo Springfield and CSNY.
