A SPECIAL MOMENT: When it was becoming apparent that Rocketman's only hope of getting home by 5:30pm was to walk, he pondered, "what direction should I walk in?" He is seen in this photo asking Cosmos, "Is Syracuse in that direction?" Based on this image, this reporter/photographer cannot determine if his nose got in the way while pointing in the direction of Syracuse, or if Cosmos was scratching his brain trying to figure it out.

A personal editorial concern: Later in the day, this reporter/photographer shared a bag of potato chips with Cosmos.

Its amazing what free "front row" tickets to an Allman Brothers concert will do! Duke Snider (pictured center) is a Woodstock historian and tour guide. He came to the concert in 1969 and never left!

Tailgating after a less than enjoyable time at "the garden". The conversation centered around unwanted changes and commercialization.

Cosmos calling Rocketman's daughter to come get him!

Rocketman tries to explain why he can't stay for the concert. Unfortunately he was talking to a very unsympathetic crowd!

Rocketman tries to catch some shuteye before the big concert tonight at Bethel Woods Performing Art Center. Cosmos (in background) looks for his beer.
