Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Joan Armatrading - 15/7/1978

I normally avoid festivals but EC and Dylan appearing at Blackbushe Airport together was too much to resist. Both were in great form in 1978 before inevitable decline set in over the decades. The day was warm and dry, the crowds were HUGE but despite that it was an enjoyable gig. I remember being surprised that EC came on relatively early to be followed by Joan Armatrading and then Dylan did the last set. The sound was not brilliant but all three artists overcame that and Dylan played for a long time including loads of his classic stuff plus songs from 'Street Legal' which had been released recently. I imagine I can remember 'Key to the Highway' from EC and 'Changing of the Guard' from Dylan as they are both particular favourites of mine but that might well be false memory syndrome. I certainly remember the litter devastation at the end as we dispersed.
