Concert review

What a wonderfully snarky review! I remember rather enjoying Jody Grind, after somebody I didn't enjoy so much - I was walking away up the hill when Tim Hinkley's organ called me back. But they didn't follow the Floyd because I had very much enjoyed their set.. if they had to rush off that would explain putting the biggest name on so early.

How did I miss the later date with John Fahey?

How did I miss the later date with John Fahey?

And how did I miss the earlier date with the Airplane?

The pretty things?

The only band ever to outscruff the Stones! :o)

They certainly did. But were they the only ones? I'm less sure of that.
