Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but me old ma keeps going on about Pink Floyd playing a festival and an aeroplane fliying out of a barn as part of the show. Do any of you hippy sorts know exactly which festival this was? I have got it down to either Stonehenge or Glastonbury 1980ish. I have tried googling it but can't find anything.

Apparently I was there but a bit too young to remember specifics apart from that it was a bit muddy and that we had an orange tent.  

i googled 'pink floyd aeroplane barml and got this: read the vid description to pright....that might help. the plane bit happens at th end of the vid.



when your ma saw the event it was 15 yeasrs ago i think. def *not* glastonbury.

also: http://en.wikipedia....i/Pulse_(album)

looks like it was a venue on the division bell tour. the pink floyd website or other site might list all the venues.

Woah! amazin!    

but this is definately not it,  she was going on about it way over 15 years ago and has never been to a Pink Floyd concert (just festivals). It was probably just real UFO's / hallucinations. Explains why I can't find anything about it.

very good line up and lol like the wheelbarrow :-)

EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND performed as support for pink floyd in hyde park 1970. they used to do a few free shows.



wishbone ash did a really superb album in 1970:

this is a really really gr8 track from it:



and from a later album, a track called Sometime World. sad for me as i played it a lot after daughter 1 died a few days before birth in march 1979 :-(   but it's a good track.

Hawkwind, along with Here & Now and various forms of Gong, were the house bands of the Stonehenge free festivals.  I went from '78 to '84. Fantastic days....

There's only three bands in that list I have not seen..............

I must be a hippy.

Anyway, Hawkwind are a must for next year.  They were great at BT and I am sure they will be fantastic at BD in a few weeks.

In fact  there should be a field devoted to all these groups.....

I could then camp outside it and be w*nkered for the whole five days and be very very very happy.......

The Enid are out and about again so time to get Budgie up and running.  The tull are still kicking about (seeing them in sept)

Neil - any chance of Hawkwind ever do you think???? god that would be an all time highlight!!!

Here's a few more of those bands that were around in the early 70's that it would be nice to see as well.

EAST OF EDEN
CURVED AIR (WITH SONJA KRISTINA)
STACKRIDGE (WITH MUTTER SLATER)

I was going to mention VINEGAR JOE as well, but obviously Robert Palmer passed away a few years ago.  I don't know what Elkie Brooks is doing these days?
