You shouldn't worry too much about camping....at a good festival you keep going until you drop, then just find somewhere to kip.

Joan Baez
Chicago
Leonard Cohen
Miles Davis
Donovan
The Doors
Emerson Lake and Palmer
Family
Free
Richie Havens

 TBH he wasn't one of the acts I made the effort to see......Moody Blues I liked, partly because of Swindon boy Justin Hayward.   Supertramp also had Swindon boy Rick Davies who played keyboards.  His mum lived in eastcott Hill and if you looked through the living room window you could see all the platinum discs etc on the wall.
