Hardback. Condition: New. Illustrated edition. Language: English . Brand New Book. The Isle of Wight Festival in 1969 famously stole Bob Dylan from Woodstock and was the starting point and benchmark for all rock and pop festivals in the UK.

The 1970 Festival was a pivotal event in so many ways. It spanned five days and nights with an audience widely reported to have reached 600,000 (on an Island with a population of 120,000) who were entertained by an unsurpassed galaxy of world famous musicians. But the organisation of such a huge happening was ievitably far from plain sailing.It proved to be a roller coaster ride for the intrepid young Foulk brothers who navigated its course through a year of relentless political bueting from local reactionary opponents and then from extremist counterculture militants who thought they would prefer a free festival. Just as Island opponents were busily sabotaging the festival site and issuing death-threats, so too an unsavoury cabal of radicals arrived from London under the banner of the White Panthers, intent upon undermining the event.

Reviewed by: Dave Laing, University of Liverpool [email protected] Abstract This review article discusses several books dealing with aspects of live music, notably festivals and arena concerts. It points out that, for the most part, two edited collections on festivals are purely celebratory and focus on audience experience rather than the character of perfor- mances. In contrast, two book-length studies of individual folk and rock festivals provide a more comprehensive account, including the extent of local opposition to the staging of the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. Finally, the article finds much to commend in an edited volume on the arena concert.

WAS THIS FESTIVAL TRULY "THE LAST GREAT EVENT" OR SIMPLY MARKING THE END OF HIPPIE IDEALISM?By Stuart JeffersonThis is the second of two volumes dealing with the trials and tribulations of staging concerts on the Isle of Wight. The author, Ray Foulk with help from his daughter Caroline, was one of the prime movers in putting these concerts together. The first volume deals with the 1968 and 1969 events. This second volume deals with the 1970 concert--an event that led to laws enacted to prohibit such things in the future.This is a book for rock (as opposed to rock 'n' roll) fans of the late '60s era.
