Please subscribe for more content
The Isle of Wight Festival 1970 was held between 26 and 31 August 1970 at Afton Down, an area on the western side of the Isle of Wight. It was the last of three consecutive music festivals to take place on the island between 1968 and 1970 and widely acknowledged as the largest musical event of its time, greater than the attendance of Woodstock.
The preceding Isle of Wight Festivals, also promoted by the Foulks, had already gained a good reputation in 1968 and 1969 by featuring acts such as Jefferson Airplane, T. Rex, the Move, the Pretty Things, Joe Cocker, the Moody Blues (performed at the 1969 festival), the Who, and Bob Dylan in his first performance since his 1966 motorcycle accident.
Pentangle: was a british folk band. A German woman interrupted their set to deliver a political message to the audience.

As an American high school kid in 1970, somehow I hadn't heard Pentangle until my friend's older sister Jan said how great they were when she saw them in D.C. Soon after, I listened and loved them and saw later incarnations of them and John Renbourn's group. Thanks Jan!

I for one never cared what critics had to say. I know what I like. This band was GREAT . Period.

Another brilliant band . How lucky we were to live in this time

Contemporary reviews of Pentangle’s set were rather harsh. However this performance is just brilliant.

[jimmcguy]

Contemporary reviews? Who cares? Those born after 1970 have no clue about music.

I don' t care about the critics, seams like the guitars is out of tune at the end, but it' s Bert and John and Jacqui is Jacqui anyway, the best folk singer ever.

Not my favourite version, it lacks the vocal harmonies.
