Jimmy Koplik (Watkins Glen promoter) recently received one
of these "The Band" Watkins Glen pinbacks from my
supply of originals. Jimmy told me that he had these made up
(approx. 100-150) of "The Band Version" for use as backstage
passes for the Watkins Glen concert in 1973. These were given to
staff, band members, roadies, and "The Band"
tour/production personnel for all access to the stage/
backstage and production areas. These pinbacks are very rare
according to Jimmy Koplik. Jimmy said he also had
versions made up for The Allman Brothers Band and The Grateful
Dead. Also Jim told me that there were backstage pass pinbacks that
had all three bands on them. Not too many of those were made and
existing examples of the pinbacks with all three bands on them
would be extremely rare.
