“The Powder Ridge Rock Festival was scheduled to be held July 31- August
2, 1970 in Middlefield, Connecticut. A legal injunction forced the event to be
canceled, keeping the musicians away; but a crowd of 30,000 attendees arrived
anyway, to find no food, no entertainment, no adequate plumbing, and at least
seventy drug dealers. William Manchester wrote: “Powder Ridge was an accident
waiting to happen, and it happened.” Volunteer doctor William Abruzzi declared a
drug “crisis” on 1 August and said “Woodstock was a pale pot scene. This is a
heavy hallucinogens scene.”
