Great pic! Looks like he may have borrowed some of Dickey's threads.

Chapel Hill 1971 ??

I know just about all of Duane's clothes and this is a new shirt he's got on. I've only seen it in the Chapel Hill series.

"Chapel Hill 5 71" has to be Jubilee Weekend held in May 1971. I don't know whether they still have Jubilee at UNC, but "in the day" it was very, very nice; like a small, very upscale pop festival. I'd guesstimate maybe 45,000- 50,000 people in one place, open air temporary stage on a big practice field right on campus, great acts including the ABB, and Chapel Hill itself is really beautiful-- great old buildings, very "collegiate", with lots of old trees and forest, great topography and lots of very psychedelic settings like, oh, how about an empty Greek amphitheater at 2:00 am that appears out of nowhere as you walk down a dark, wooded path, or a real gothic Castle in a similar setting, owned by a secret society called "Gim-ghoul"? Strange days indeed, but glad I was there (at least I think I was there!).

Did you see this concert at Chapel Hill, Carl?

I have a really big photo of this pic that I'm currently using as my screensaver. Lots of times I have to shrink the pics to make them fit neatly here.

Donnah-- I think so. Definitely so if this was the same year that J Geils played at Jubilee. I'm afraid I killed a few brain cells that weekend, that, plus there was some love-interest consuming a good bit of my attention at the time....

Carl, you always make me so darn jealous.
My brother saw him once in concert. All he can remember is being there and being stoned. Geez.
