I have been enjoying Ian's descriptions of Isle of Wight as well &
would love to read more about it. I've always wondered about this
particular performance. We've seen all the footage of Joni getting
upset and telling the crowd they're acting like tourists and then from
the same performance we see her performing beautifully with a smile on
her face and the crowd giving her thunderous ovations. The helicopter
would explain a lot, for me anyway.
Having been raised in a fairly small town in Iowa, I never got within
1,000 miles of a major rock festival. So eye witness reports of I of
W or Woodstock or Monterey Pop are fascinating to me. I work with a
woman who was at the infamous Altamont debacle. She says the vibes at
that concert were way out of whack from the very start of the day. I
love listening to her talk about it. Any personal memories of these
events are welcome reading for me.
