Yeah, it amazes me peoples mnemonic powers of recollection, I barely remember what I did last week (unless there's photo evidence).
Sadly, my Stonehenge years were when the festy was on the downward slide mid-late 80's. Deffo more hassles and bad vibes, but as you say, quite a lot of us were pretty mashed the whole time, so it's amazing any of us recall anything. The early to mid 70's sounded great, hell, even the police seemed fairly moderate, and weirdly seemed to keep their distance. Guess it was the sheer numbers turning up, Thatcher determination to smash anything not part of the Status Quo, the heroin, and the dickhead bikers that called time on it in the end.
