Note sull'episodio
The Deep Dice recently contains excerpts from Kenny Denton’s memoir, which recounts his experiences working at the legendary 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. Denton highlights the contrasting performances of Kris Kristofferson, who faced a difficult and hostile audience, and John Sebastian, who captivated the massive crowd with a charismatic three-hour set. The narrative describes the festival as a historic turning point in music, though its immense scale led promoter Ron Foulk to label the event an uncontrollable "monster". Beyond the stage, Denton shares personal anecdotes of Kristofferson’s humility while helping the crew change a flat tyre in the mud. The source concludes with a harrowing account of the exhausted crew nearly crashing their vehicle during the journey home after days of sleepless labour.
