Never forgotten this experience again thanks to John Northcote (Sunshine Records Oxford, Virgin Records and then Clubs and venues in the Big Smoke; Brixton Academy and Break for the Border venues in London - legend!) and his lovely wife of the time and we arrived that Friday night and stayed in some farmer’s barn for an attempt at a ‘kip' then finding our places near the front of the crowd as far as memory is concerned I was awoken at what felt like 3.00am (I swear it was dark still!) to Canned Heat and the rest is history! Stand outs Pink Floyd, Johnny Winter The Airplane, Santana, Dr John, Country Joe . . .remember every single appearance . . . . which curiously cannot be said of further open air gigs and festivals! Not my first gig but maybe the first festival? I was 17!
