Thanks for the reminder Reynard, gonna dig out my Woodstock DVD and watch tonight. Richie, Sha Na Na, Joe Cocker, Country Joe, Santana etc. etc.

Pink Floyd, Afan Lido, Port Talbot... 1969. They were support to Pentangle.

I have vague memories of travelling to the Isle Of Wight with my parents around '68/'69 , not for the festival itself but to see Hawkwind perform outside the venue . However , my first recollections of Hawkwind was seeing them at the Hammersmith Odeon under the guise of 'Hawklords' in '78 .

Wishbone Ash 1978

10cc at Bridlington Spa Hall in 1978.
