Gong

I was there on 23/11/75 It was all a bit confusing as due to a minor injury (to Hillage?) we were told that gong would be playing 2nd heading to Clearlight,. Whatever, in the end members of both bands did a combined jam for the finale, but it was just a cocophany of over amplified noise to my youthful ears. Most notable moments were Hillage on guitar (if it was actually him, I’d had a few pints by then) when he eventually made an appearance as he appeared to get high on his own sounds if you could separate them out . Then the blissful relative silence I think it may have been Babaloni Yoni who leaned towards the crowd and struck her triangle with a single note (to clear the energy channels perhaps). I prefer listening from their apparently well recorded period LPs, but would love to see Hillage doing his solo glissando guitar thing today.

Amazing gig, great band and visually fantastic with the light show. KEEP IT STREAMING MATIES!!
