Based on Vappys thread - if you had a time machine on 15:01 - Apr 23 by mellowblue
Lynyrd Skynyrd 1975ish before they just did stadiums. Bands were always better in smaller venues like the good old Gaumont.
I was just about to mention them before I read your post. I went for a stadium gig though. I’d have loved to have been here, especially given what happened to them a few months later:
I’d also have loved to have been at AC/DC in River Plate in Dec 2009 - that looks awesome, but is another mega-bowl stadium so may not have been the best being there. A better AC/DC one would have been at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow in April 78 (another venue long gone):

The Weeley pop festival.
I was there, for the whole weekend. Hardly moved from the postage stamp spot I had claimed. And as Radlett says in the post below yours the sound was not great at many early Seventies festivals (although Bardney was pretty good and the two Readings I went to were not bad, by the mid Seventies things were improving and the couple of Hyde Park free concerts I went to were better. Not a patch on modern day amplification though.
The best thing about Weeley was buying a doss bag for fifty pence, this was a man size jiffy bag, because I just turned up in the clothes I wore. What was I thinking ? That my £1.50 included bed and breakfast I guess, oh what it is to be sixteen...The doss bag lasted me about five other festivals before I had to buy a proper sleeping bag.
