I have tapes of most of the 85 fest. My wife was pregnant and it was my last time to Telluride Still love the music. Peter Rowan and Cricial country was especially good. Bela played solo Sunday AM as everybody was waking up. He did a dynomite Beatles medley. Ah yes, those were the days. Of course the late 70 early 80, fests were great and really wild.
