@cranialillusion@Paytress I few years later, I saw The Who playing Wellington Pier: smoke, smashed guitars - the works - in front of a load of pilled-up chain-smoking Mods. At the end of a wooden pier. What could possibly go wrong?

Purely by accident i came across this gem this morning. I only popped out for bread and ended up driving for a hour with What's Going On 50th anniversary Deluxe Edition...really loud. Heaven.

@PigskinPapers@TheExtremeMusi1 Only 14 acts from UK and Ireland. Loads of the greats should be taking the place of middle of the road American makeweights
@Paytress@StuartPenney1 Sorry I meant 1968 being the year when there were violent Vietnam demos in London and Paris. The Stones released Street Fighting Man and things were getting angry.
@StuartPenney1@Paytress Nice to read that again. As is the case with a few festivals and shows we've both attended, your memory is much clearer than mine. I must have missed the Rikki Farr rant. I do remember there was a whiff of anarchy in the air. Of course it'd all kicked off in 68.
