Before what? Oh I see, 69 was the third, not 2nd.
First IoW was 1968 (31 Aug to 1 Sep), Monterey was 14 months before that

Me and my mate were hitching around Europe at the time, we met a couple of Dutch blokes who'd just come back from the festival and told us all. Grrrr!!

Not sure if you're joshing but they made an interesting cover of a Kinks song. It hasn't aged very well either

I have the LP.
PS. Apologies IG - you beat me to it.
I don't remember them either. Mind you, they were on at the Isle of Wight festival a few weeks later (the Hendrix one) - I was there too, but I don't remember seeing them there either! I have seen footage of them there, so I know it happened - but no, not a glimmer in my memory!
I'm pretty sure there was lightning involved as well. I know there were problems with some groups - as I remember it, Jorma and Jack from Jefferson Airplane (aka Hot Tuna) came on and played standing on rubber mats - nothing was going to stop them playing!
Listen to it now? Well, certainly not often! Mind you, with all the music available on-line these days, the same could be said of my LP collection in general! Interesting because of the violin - not common in bands in those days. Wouldn't bracket them with Grand Funk Railroad, though - more Chicago Transit Authority, Sea Train, Spirit, Blood Sweat and Tears really.

Interesting. I still listen to Chicago Transit Authority. ( although I'm not sure when they became Chicago, and cut back on the brass) 25 or 6 to 4, I'm a Man, Does anybody know what time it is and I think they all stand up quite well, unlike the quick listens I have just had to Flock!
I still have the ticket for that concert up in the loft. I remember Hendrix did Wild Thing, the old Troggs number. It was in those days when each band would do 3 songs and then swiftly on to the next band. And you'd have a real mix of them, like that concert also included the Tremeloes(!!!). It was very early Floyd so I'm sure they'd have done See Emily Play. I don't know how NIce kept it to 3 songs as their version of Rondo was often a 20-minute offering on its own. See, it was the 60s and I still remember some of it!
