. This is a bit of a dog's dinner as the concert recording at the Royal Albert Hall (RAH) had hardly started when a bunch of screaming girls stormed the stage and the performance was briefly stopped. The screaming was incessant - there's a video documentary which includes this gig. Several of the tracks are from other venues or studio tracks with audience noise added. . It was only released in the U.S. at the time so I have never heard it - there are interesting reviews in the usual places on the www - so I'm looking forward to hearing it . The ruckus at the RAH prompted an immediate ban on any further "popular music" entertainers appearing there for several years . I shall always remember the Rolling Stones from the FREE concert in Hyde Park. Mick Jagger in a white frock throwing boxes full of (mainly dead) butterflies into the air. There was some very good acid around that day so my memory is a little hazy but I do recall that "Midnight Rambler" lasted for TWO HOURS - well it seemed like that . When will someone release the entire recording of the Hyde park gig? The "documentry" of the concert does not do it justice or include the other artists who contributed to a great day out in the sunshine. It really made up for spending an uncomfortable night on a couple of deckchairs trying to get some kip but being woken by the Park Police every 30 minutes . |
