If anyone has a copy of this record perhaps they could arrange to have it sent to me as it would make a useful addition to this Gallery Page.

Hey, Remember this gig? Lots of good music. Was Richard Thompson with Fairport Convention at the time? I like the description: Quotes from the box: The Original and First Glastonbury in all it's crazed glory. Featuring Terry Reid, Linda Lewis, Magick Michael, Family, Melanie, Arture Brown, Quintessence, Gong, Fairprot Convention, Traffic, Guru Maharaj J. and 10 000 stoned hippies. Video and box in excellent condition.

I'm pretty sure Richard Thompson left Fairport Convention early in 1971, so would have missed Glastonbury. Sandy Denny had left a year before that, so I can't imagine what sort of line-up they'd have scrabbled together for Glastonbury... Strange that a legendary band (who still exist under that name) should have their classic recordings all over and done with so early in their career, but they carry on regardless nearly four decades later. It must be the English ale keeps their beards growing..

The first time i saw the film I shrieked with surprise when I saw my young hippy self outside our little plastic bender, stoking a fire. There were acid symbols painted on the outside of our "tent"- Om, christian cross etc. I was poking a fire with a stick. I look up and smile at Nic Roeg- the guy with the camera- through my beard and long hair.
Anth, yes I was in the movies once darling.

Hi Anth,
I am filled with acute nostalgia when I try to picture that young hippie.. I have never been to a Glastonbury Festival. If it wasn't for m Glastonbury would probably have become like a 2nd home to me. Great line up too.
I shared a house in Notting Hill Gate (Commune 101) with a bunch of hippies, one of whom was Magick Michael, if I'm remembering the same guy, I can't imagine what his performance was like. He used to appear a lot of times at festivals in the crowd, where he'd go into a sort of mesmeric wailing routine, with arms stretched out wide. Sort of tripped us out tho'. (even more) Same guy?
When our house disbanded he and I set off to hitchhike to Formenterra to meet up with the rest of our housemates and Hamlet the dog, to stay with Magic Larry, an american hippie with a bag full of musical instruments, including a trumpet! It took us two weeks to get there, which was not surprising considering how we looked.
The last festival I remember going to was at Woburn Abbey, 1968, when Jimmie Hendrix blew out the left hand side of the P.A. system, or was it the right?
I got an honourable mention! I was whirling in my usual acid dervish routine at that moment, and couldn't stop, I girated into, and over, a largish fire in front of the stage; barefoot. (Didn't feel a thing.)
Hendrix, apologising for the P.A. saw my blurred antics, and said, over the other half of the field, something like, "Wow, he's so gone, nothing's gunna stop that cat." I never saw Him again after that.
btw's Did you get my email? and Jeff S. (in tow) was playing a tambourine!
lp who also had his day
