Reading August 1977. |
The 1977 Reading Festival.
Recordings/Setlists .
Quite a few recordings exist of this festival. As usual they are audience sources and they vary in quality depending on where the taper was and how noisy the audience was in the arena . One guy told us how he recorded Thin Lizzy but it was almost unlistenable due to audience noise created by arguments ,general chatting and the inevitable epidemics of can throwing . So remember youngsters , next time you make a racket when you are watching a band,consider , it could be you who is f**king up the recording you will be so desperate to hear so you can relive the experience when you are old . You have been warned ! BTW we don't have copies of any of these so pleas to trade or buy will fall on deaf ears and will not be answered. Right :Sea of mud conditions in the campsite © Baz Harrison

One of the bands I would have loved to have seen live , sadly they bever played near me when i lived the UK. NB: the quality of this recording, which I have heard on youtube, is nothing to shout about .......and certainly is not worh shelling out good money on if you find it around in bootleg form..... |
