I was one of 4 promoters of the event called "A Concert at Gatlin Creek". It occurred over 3 days during November 21-23,1972, on the same land and stage as the Dripping Springs Reunion which occurred early that year (the precursor to Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic.) We determined that about 78,000 people attended over the 3 days.
It occurred outside Dripping Springs, rather than on the banks of Gatlin Creek, which is closer to Wimberley, TX, because the County commissioners would not grant the permit for the original site.
The lineup included:
Freddie King
Bob Seeger System
Brownsville Station
Captain Beefheart and His Magical Band
Mitch Ryder
Trapeze (warm up for the Moody Blues)
Foghat (formerly Savoy Brown)
Bo Diddley
Moody Blues (were under contract but pulled out at the last minute)
Teegarden and Van Winkle
Mike Quatro Jam Band
