Comments:
This is my original late 90's transfer of twenty Byrds shows from 1970 that I did for their then road manager. Some of these leaked out, some ended up on YouTube, and some were even bootlegged. Those other versions may include editing, EQ, and other "mastering"; this is the raw transfer.
The master cassette was labeled as "New Jersey".

Stamping Ground
In America the golden age for music festivals ended in late '69 with the Altamont's accidents, a few months after Woodstock. In the early seventies in Europe there was still space for some "good vibrations", as proved by the Kralingen Pop festival, near Rotterdam, in the weekend of 26/28th of June 1970. The event, documented by the movie Stamping Ground, is often remembered as the European Woodstock, because of the presence of many artists that had already played on that historical three-days concert, like Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Canned Heat, Country Joe. But the Kralingen festival also showed how vital the British scene was in that period, offering great perfomances by bands like Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, East Of Eden, Caravan, Fairport Convention, Family, T. Rex...

The festival Stamping Ground was also called the "Dutch Woodstock". An event that took place in Rotterdam in 1970, with the presence of more than 100 thousand people. The alternative culture movement of Europe demonstrated to be strong and growing. In this documental-concert, some of the major names of rock of the 70's perform in their best way. An excelent mixture of progressive rock, folk, blues and psychedelia.

This rockumentary is a very nice registration of a festival with lots of great bands and a crowd that looked so happy: many hippies with water pipes, hasj and coloured cloths, people who jumped naked into the water, made love or went asleep because of the drugs and alcohol, wonderful and legendary scenes. You also see images from The Netherlands: flat and green landscapes with windmills and Amsterdam with its typical houses, canals and bridges.

18 - instrumental outro / good night

Comments:
This is my original late 90's transfer of twenty Byrds shows from 1970 that I did for their then road manager. Some of these leaked out, some ended up on YouTube, and some were even bootlegged. Those other versions may include editing, EQ, and other "mastering"; this is the raw transfer.

The master tape was labeled "Ash Grove"
