Arthur Brown Glastonbury 2003
From The BBC
Well this year the BBC did a great little feature about Arthur, After all he was the Star of the 1971 Glastonbury Film, though throughout the interview 1971 was mentioned as the first but we all know the real first Glastonbury was in 1970 though very little of that festival remains on film where as 1971 was a full feature as well as a triple album.
So it starts with a clip from the film of various hippy types
Then a few words from the man himself, mentioning the avalon stage and how it captures the spirit of the original festival
Then a Few Clips of Kingdom Come from the film
Arthur talks about the festival being run by agents and not being a community like the early days
Some life footage of Fire from the gig
A few more words
Linda Lewis talks about the 71 Festival, also mentions Arthur having his head on fire, but (memory cheat) this may not have happened as it was after all Kingdom Come and not Crazy World
Then some more great footage of Arthur's set
This went out on BBC 2 on the 29th June 2003
