Flashback - 1970

So there I was jus browsin around some sites looking for the lyrics & tab of a song that I thought Tony Joe White used to sing round about 1969 & I found a link to my favourite rock festival ever! It cost me 50/- (that's 50 shillings or about £2.50 to you) to see all those bands.
http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/Holly-fest-menu.70.html We slept in Dad's dormobile just about where the letter C for car is for MAIN CAR PARK on the map. I've still got the (slightly crumbling) programme somewhere! Go to the crowd photos & see if you can see me - I'm there somewhere!

And then I found the link to the 1969-71 Buxton All Nighters! Yes I was there too & remember the bands. http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/buxton.html

And the Nottingham ones!!!! http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/nottingham-festival.html

I've got anecdotes about all these concerts - not sure I should share them - too trivial although funny at the time, too personal or er um unsuitable.

Found that Tony Joe is still on the road singing - but never found the lyrics I was looking for. Perhaps he never sang it - I don't even know the name of the song! I suppose I'll just have to go on singing my own version & attributing it to "Tony Joe White or someone!"
