 gotta disagree ,it was definitely saturday night,cos Gong played sunday arvo
and I think gordon giltrap followed them,the headliner in the evening was
taj mahal ,and on the friday Ginger Baker and Roy Harper had their little tiff.
I remember that blake was supposed to be playing,he was listed in sounds for
the event,but he didn't make it for some reason.I knew someone who went in 79
or 80 when he played a solo set ,it was awesome apparently.

So what this about the riot,I was standing near the mixing desk,for about half
of the hawks set,then retired to the tent,since my ex-missus was quite ill,
something she must of ate I suppose.

regards

Marty
