I once saw Clapton play at The Richmond Brighton in front of no more than 100 people. The Lewes gigs were brilliant as were the open air concerts such as Plumpton Race course,Reading and Isle of Wight. Rock on you old timers.

The Electric Light Orchestra played the Dome in Brighton back in their early days and the band actually outnumbered the audience. In his book, drummer Bev Bevan said "we felt like applauding them" !!!!!

Any eye witness accounts of the Floyd gig? I'm sure Lewes has enough ageing hippies to shed a bit more light on this legendary event?

I wasn't at the Lewes gig, but as Social Secretary I did put them on (along with Fairport Convention) at a concert at UEA in the 60's. Happy days.

Saddo - I notice that The Move, one of the great (and now slightly forgotten) bands of the 1960s also played in Lewes. They used to be mentioned in the same breath as the Beatles and the Stones - or at least The Who and The Kinks - at one point.
The Move, of course, turned into ELO.
