Description
A weekend of live music became a festival remembered as much for its troubles as its performances. In The Bull Island Rock Festival: The Experience Had by Me and Others at 1972’s Erie Canal Soda Pop Festival, author Dan Davis recounts his experience at the gathering nicknamed “Woodstock on the Wabash.”
Held along the Wabash River in 1972, the festival faced food and water shortages, canceled performances, and increasingly chaotic conditions. Drug use and the eventual burning of the stage became part of the event’s troubled story. Davis brings a participant’s perspective to the experience, offering readers a look at what it was like to be there.
For readers interested in rock festivals and regional music history, this paperback documents a gathering whose difficulties became inseparable from its legacy.
Davis generously donated a limited batch of these books to the Indiana Music History Shop. All proceeds from these donated copies support the Indiana Music History Project’s work to preserve and celebrate Indiana’s musical legacy.
