June 24/25, 1978, a sad attendee in the rain at the Midnight Sun Mad Marathon concert at Big Lake. The event was a massive failure. The promoters wanted 30,000 attendees. Instead, they got 3,000 at the start, plus rain in an ugly, freshly clearcut space. The most famous act was Tower of Power. Photos by Bob Martin. #alaskahistory #biglake #alaska
