In
August 1970 held a festival in the Netherlands, the Stamping Ground Festival,
which is also called the Dutch Woodstock. An outdoor festival, which certainly
did not have the physical or media Woodstock dimensions but still a beautiful
poster. hippie period in the middle of our elders and even some of our readers
(not younger), were able to taste cost to the joys of festivals in the sun for
some naked or almost inhaling illegal substances, dancing on the grass and
listening during a beautiful plethora of artists more or less junky who
performed on stage. I was not there, too young ... Too bad because the lake
under the sun, full music ears, it should not be so bad. Gonzo Records had the
good idea to edit in both CD and DVD this memorable festival where artists such
as Pink Floyd, Canned Heat, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds have
succeeded on stage. This is a live 1970, then inevitably sound, even after much
work remains a bit noisy. Still need to hear that, even though some artists are
completely gone, there are passages anthology of instrumentals that go into a
spin, another short time we cared less probably where the scenic perfection The
trip had its importance, even if sometimes it was a bad trip ... The double CD
suffer as I said, a pretty average or poor sound on a beautiful facility, but
the discovery or re discovery of some songs live is an inexhaustible source of
happiness. Rub blues, folk, rock, psychedelic and out of all kinds
unclassifiable. DVD pass him on a good way home cinema range and image, between
concert and documentary gives an extraordinary insight into what was this
festival. Between the concerts we are entitled to beautiful views of the public
living his life, cultivating mushrooms, eating, smoking, making love, wandering
in the nude, the musicians getting ready, talking heatedly with organizers, and
the whole festival, probably saw a helicopter. We see of course the bands play,
but it is almost trivial if we do not talk about the music itself. More than a
concert, this double CD is a DVD documentary about a long gone era of music, the
beginning progressive rock and major festivals. Not to be missed! Written by the
