I have this down as a Rory Gallaher gig because he was the only act I both wanted to see and can remember from this early Crystal Palace Garden Party. Fairport Convention were also on the bill. The headliner was Elton John and Yes also performed. In fact I went because one of the guys working on the same building site as me had somehow got the job of organising a set of stewards and so I got paid to go to the gig.
Fairport I can't really remember and possibly I had some work to do during their set. Had Sandy Denny still been with them I am sure I would have clocked the set more closely. Rory Gallaher however definitely made an impression. He belted out some raw, bluesy guitar and put a lot of energy into it. He had previously been with Taste but had gone solo by the time of the Crystal Palace gig.
