Following my post of photos from the free music festival at Windsor Great Park to the west of London in 1973, attendee Dave Walkling has sent a couple of sharp images which capture the anticipation in the crowd just before Hawkwind’s set.
These also show in detail the band’s equipment which was decorated by Barney Bubbles, including the painted drumhead which I wrote about yesterday.
