Knebworth 74
Was held on 20th July 1974 , was advertised as the " Bucolic Frolic " and was the first of the mega one day events held at Knebworth Park during the 1970s. It was unfortunately for me the only one I attended, but it also had one of the better line-ups with Tim Buckley, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band , Mahavishnu Orchestra, Van Morrison, The Doobie Brothers and The Allman Brothers.
