Rained out !
I should think this band were both moody
and blue after the Bath weekend, because they
were the only band of the entire festival line-up who did not get to perform.
Arriving by helicopter to beat the crowded
roads, they were thwarted by the foul weather on Monday morning .
The rain that forced Jefferson
Airplane offstage in mid act after Paul Kantner
had received a mild shock from the vocal mic - and which resulted
in The Byrds performing acoustically in the
early hours - had still not stopped and as a result the band could not
be guaranteed a safe working environment if they plugged in.
Reluctantly they were forced to cancel
and it was Doctor John who finished the festival
off in the grey dawn of Monday with a Gris Gris acoustic set. |
