This one day event’s line-up was Boz Scaggs, Cold Blood, Elvin Bishop, Joy of Cooking, Stoneground, The Doobie Brothers, The Chambers Brothers.
It was held at the T-Car Speedway which opened in 1964 and closed in 2005. Also known as Tahoe-Carson Speedway, Champion Motor Speedway and Silver State Raceway.
Carson City is quite high above sea-level and this show came after a period of drought, so the audience could count themselves unlucky. The show was supposed to start at 12 noon and run until midnight, but with heavy rain mid-day the acts didn't get started until 4 pm.
The Chambers Brothers are reported as particularly good. It was the first first Annual Carson City Labor Day Music & Art Festival, which still happened around the town last year
The rain meant there was enough mud for some wrestling. As far as I can tell, the Doobies closed the show at 4am and there was a crush to get out of the car park. This festival had little profile at the time, probably not helped by all the bands coming from the Bay area and some coming to what was to be the end of their career, as the hippy days passed into history.
