        It was lots of fun, absolutely wild times, one big party/festival (and not tank tops!), but now a complete blur and difficult to remember/separate from other times, such as the first half (or more?) of the 80's, anyway I had a fantastic time enjoying a whole load of experiences.

        P.S. I'll try & post some indicative pics.

          Ironically most of the music I like originated in the 70s and I'm now only seeing the twilight years of any bands that are still going :(
