A Great Year...

1951 was the best possible year to be born because it meant that I left school in 1970.

Out of the school gates and off to the best music festival Britain has ever had.

Bath and West Showground, Shepton Mallet, 27th and 28th June.

Beefheart, Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna, Santana, Byrds, Flock, Johnny Winter, Canned Heat, Pink Floyd, John Mayall, Colosseum and more.

It was the most perfect lineup ever. Far, far better, much more memorable than Hendrix at the IOW a few months later.

So often people ask the question "If you could go back in time..."

No contest. I'd be there again like a shot.
