]]> Comment on View from the stage – 1 by Paul Jackson http://www.iow1970.com/blog/?p=360&cpage=1#comment-419 Paul Jackson Sun, 13 Jun 2010 20:43:47 +0000 http://www.iow1970.com/blog/?p=360#comment-419 I was there in 1970. The first nite we were evicted from the arena and slept between the furrows of a ploughed field just behind Desolation Row, in brown paper sleeping bags...bought on-site for 8 bob? Most of the next 4 days were spent in a sleeping bag left of stage (looking out), maybe 50 yards back. I had a 17 yr old blonde Canadian chic in my bag. I was 19 and at Nottingham Uni. On Friday nite we went down to the stage...under the left tower...for Terry Reid, who was known in Canada (but not in Scunthorpe). Food was hard to come by...a fresh pineapple for 10 bob. We lived on fags...60 a day. I bought orange loon pants for 2 pounds. The area around our nearest tap became a muddy quagmire. The bogs were disgusting...we took a ferry over to Lymnyngton on Sunday morning to go to the loo & buy newspapers. One day I washed my hair under a cold tap while Donovan sang Sunshine Superman. I looked up at the stars as Moody Blues sang Nites in White Satin. I reared up once in my sleeping Bag to hear Hendrix, then collapsed back into sleep. We were wrecked by then. We pitched a tent for a nite when the music was over...total devastation everywhere is how I remember it. The experience probably changed my life, but then I was well up for it anyway. We did Lincoln (twice), Weeley, Bickershaw & Cambridge subsequently, but it was never the same again. I saw the chic in Toronto 4 years later but we had nothing to say to each other. I still have my ticket stub...5 pounds I think. But no photographs...the film got stuck in the winder and ripped. Those were the days, my friend.... I was there in 1970.

So far I missed: Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez & L. Cohen (I was fast asleep). The jousting cars and the troubles over the fences! Was I realy there !?!
