SLATE CLAPBOARD VIEW FROM STAGE AREA OF AFTERMATH OF CONCERT STREWN WITH TRASH AS THE RAIN FALLS. TWO PEOPLE STAND ON STAGE LOOKING OUT. VOICEOVER CONTINUES WITH PROMOTER UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE CROWD'S BEHAVIOR. HE SAYS THEY BLEW IT AND HE STOOD UP TO THE COUNCIL TO MAKE THE CASE THAT THERE WOULD BE NO TROUBLE. HE SAYS HE CAN'T PUT ON ANYTHING THIS SIZE AGAIN. THEY TALK ABOUT THE MONEY ASPECT OF THINGS. HE SAYS THEY SHOULD PUT ON THEIR OWN FREE CONCERT IF THEY THINK IT SHOULD BE FREE. SAYS HE NEVER GOT TO SEE ANY OF THE MUSIC. SOMEONE SHOUTS, CAMERA PANS OVER TO THE FIELD. THERE SEEMS TO BE A FIGHT BREWING OUT ION THE DISTANCE. THEY STAND AROUND WHILE IT RAINS

PROMOTER AND OTHER MEN STANDING IN FIELD AFTER CONCERT WITH TRASH ALL OVER THE PLACE. THEY SAY THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO ENJOY THE MUSIC. THE PROMOTER CALLS IT LIKE A WAR. THE CROWD WAS JUST INTENT ON SMASHING EVERYTHING. THEY SPEAK OF REGRETS AND HOW GREAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN, THAT THE VIOLENCE AND DESTRUCTION WAS UNNECESSARY. THEY SAY THIS WILL BE THE LAST OF THE LARGE FESTIVALS. SAYS THE ARTISTS WERE REASONABLE. THEY NEED THE MONEY IN ORDER TO PUT ON THE FESTIVAL AND THEY TALK ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS AND HOW MUCH IT TAKES. THEY BLAME THE ROWDY PEOPLE FOR ALL OF THE PROBLEMS, THEIR "INABILITY TO COMPREHEND AND COMMUNICATE" THEY ONLY KNOW HOW TO TEAR THINGS DOWN AND THEY'VE TORN IT DOWN. THEY SAID THE DOGS WERE CALLED IN ONLY AT THE LAST MINUTES TO STOP THE "ANARCHISTS". THEY SAY THAT THE "BAD" CONCERTGOERS CAME TO DESTROY. THEN THEY TALK ABOUT HOW PEOPLE SANG FOR PEACE WHILE NEARBY OTHERS WERE TEARING THINGS DOWN TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BETTER. REAL BITTER STATEMENTS. TYPICAL OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST HIPPIES OR ANY YOUTH SUBCULTURE. THEY STOP TALKING AND WALK BACK THROUGH THE WRECKAGE OF THE CONCERT GROUNDS, TALK ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LEFT AND HOW THEY SPENT A YEAR FIGHTING TO GET THE FESTIVAL TOGETHER AND WILL SPEND ANOTHER YEAR CLEANING UP AFTER IT AND FIGHTING CREDITORS. THEY WALK AWAY. GRINNING MEN IN FIELD SPIN AROUND MAKING FACES AT CAMERA, WIPING DOWN CAMERA. THE CAMERA CREW DISCUSSES AMONGST THEMSELVES WHAT WAS HAPPENING

ANOTHER MAN SAYS THE MUSIC WAS GOOD AND THE WEATHER WAS GOOD, BUT IT WASN'T AS FRIENDLY AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN ON ACCOUNT OF THE SIZE. TALKS ABOUT SHELTER AND HOW "MUCKY" EVERYTHING IS. HIPPIE BEING INTERVIEWED SAYS HE IS FROM LONG ISLAND NEW YORK AND USED TO BE A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER, NOW HE ENJOYS TRAVELING
