    Three one day stadium festivals hosted by the Who and the last of of two epic gigs at Charlton for the band . Once again there was violence and a great deal of confusion at the London venue due to forged tickets and gatecrashers. Many with legitimate tickets could not get in , but were given a free bus ride to the Swansea show as compensation.

   Crowd behaviour at Glasgow and Swansea appears to have been far better then that at the Charlton show, although The Streetwalkers were bottled off at Celtic Park.
