The line up at ‘The Picnic’ included Graham Parker and the Rumour, Joan Armatrading and Eric Clapton; I had seen them all before (and since) but today they were at their best. Then Bob with the amazing band. He played acoustic, and electric tunes effortlessly. Horns, keys, pedal steel and mandolin rocked. Even a flute on ‘Tambourine Man’. They were so well rehearsed which for Bob is almost unheard of. Then the moment: the band began the long slow intro to Blowing in The Wind, the sun was going down and a hot air balloon drifted by the site….is that true? Did it happen? Doesn’t matter really, it remains one of the great memories from that day.
