The Crystal Palace Garden Parties.

CRYSTAL PALACE GARDEN PARTY-8.
June 7 1975.

Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, Steeleye Span, Billy Cobham, John Cale , Jack Bruce Band with Carla Bley and Mick Taylor .

 

    A very intriguing mix of fusion, folk-rock and rock-pop, with the indefinable Mr Cale thrown in for good measure.This would have been a very interesting show.
