What he had to say about hundreds of pairs of wet knickers being thrown at their idols by teeny boppers still amuses me - if only their children knew what tbey got up to when they were teenagers. Still, I'd rather that than being gobbed at by a room of punks. I loved that gig which, as I remember it, was Traffic's farewell and the culmination of a wonderful weekend of rock 'n' Roll - we'd seen the The Who at Charlton the day before (I also recall Robin Trower, Lou Reed and Lindisfarne playing). It showed the enormous friendliness and generosity of rock audiences, from the couple of Who fans who shared their cider and vodka with us to the other delights being shared by about three rows of seats in the Rainbow.
