Ah ,yes indeed, those were the days , to go to lovely Hyde Park , find a spot in the shade with a few friends - where the view and sound were likely to be good - then lie on the grass and contemplate the universe until the bands were ready to play . Once in a suitably relaxed frame of mind , one could then listen to FREE MUSIC for up to six hours from some of the best bands in Britain ( and a few from overseas on occasions) and do it relatively hassle free. Nowadays this is such a rare event that its big news if it happens , but in those days, free concerts were a regular event !
These
pages are a celebration of the Hyde park concerts. The highs , the lows,
the good uns and the bad uns . I'll try to provide whatever info there
is available on each event , recordings availability, photos, reviews,
etc. and hopefully , you will want to add your memories here too.
