Roger Schnitzler, one of the attorneys hired by the promoters (Bobo) is on record stating that the $ was stolen. Stolen by Bobo? Stolen by anyone else? Bobo may have been a good guy, but being a "member in good standing" with the Milwaukee chapter of the outlaws is not necessarily a glowing reference.

He was about as far away<br />from the CIA as Alpha Centauri is from Earth. The IRS siezed the proceeds from the festival and Pete<br />didn't really make a dime. He was a member in good standing of the Milw. Outlaws and the IRA, but not the CIA. I couldn't rest if I let this slide. I knew him - you didn't. Please don't take offense, just trying to set the record straight.<br />Thanks, BillBill Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061123177830452800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-21926733847119722512018-07-26T05:25:34.777-07:002018-07-26T05:25:34.777-07:00Sounds sounds like Stephen's Point.

Sorry but the soundsystem was provided by Soundstorm, a fellow named Geoff Cook who handbuilt an incredible system. So much so the Dead hired him and the end result was the Wall of Sound; Geoff pioneered the use of speaker arrays for live sound and he designed the curved and spherical arrays in the Wall. Only Dan Healy seems to remember him. He mentions him (Jeff) in an interview for The Absolute Sound magazine. The only place you can find Geoff's name is in the end credits for the GD Movie, he is billed as Chief Circuit Designer and he never stopped but he never sought publicity. Oh, and the money for the Soundstorm system came from a Biker/Dealer named Bobo. They met at the Nitty Gritty Bar. Bobo turned out to be a CIA operative and flew off in a helicopter with all the cash. No one got paid. The authorities bulldozed the stage (they and bulldozed the highway before the concert in an attempt to stop it but people still came in droves). Amazing story, true as far as I know according to Geoff.

I was there as well, and it was a great time (I was unaware of the issues some campers were having with the bikers) until sunday morning, when an angry biker fired a shotgun at a crowd of us at the water truck. Although most of us at the time were not fond of law enforcement, we were happy to see the County Sheriffs roll in and go after these guys.,beejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17731857718575679653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-51145759019282585932012-08-21T23:44:31.595-07:002012-08-21T23:44:31.595-07:00I attended a fantastic Wisconsin rock festival but...I attended a fantastic Wisconsin rock festival but I am not sure if it was this one? The one I attended didn't end well for a motorcycle group who were harassing concert-goers. When I arrived with a friend and found a rundown barn loft to sleep in, we were kicked out by the bikers, one who threatened us with a chain. We camped elsewhere but on the last day of the concert the crowd, who had become increasingly aware of the bikers robbing people, finally ganged up on them and set at least one bike ablaze. Upon leaving the concert grounds, police outside the farm were seeking witnesses to the melee. The concert itself was fantastic and there were dozens of vans selling all kinds of drugs quite openly. Everyone was friendly and in good spirits. If it weren't for the renegade bikers hanging out by the dilapidated barn, it was the perfect outdoor rock festival. Could "Sound Storm" have been the festival I attended so many years ago? I would say there were 25 to 30 thousand people there. Does my description ring a bell with anyone?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506316422791577951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-9285007461813333742011-08-31T14:51:01.685-07:002011-08-31T14:51:01.685-07:00I was at this festival.

Like, the whole day!<br /><br />They also invited musicians from the other bands there to come up on stage and jam with them. There was a constant flow of musicians coming on stage and leaving all afternoon. <br /><br />I've seen the Dead about a dozen times in venues from SF to Chicago, and this was the best show I'd ever seen them do.<br /><br />I sure hope tapes appear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-20965241040127983852010-10-05T07:26:26.988-07:002010-10-05T07:26:26.988-07:00I looked at this link and i have to think you are ...I looked at this link and i have to think you are correct.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-6559083616873552102010-10-04T19:25:50.367-07:002010-10-04T19:25:50.367-07:00There's a new play being performed in Osceola,...There's a new play being performed in Osceola, WI this weekend (10/8-9/10)that seems to be about Sound Storm.
