I was just browsing an Isle Of Wight local history page

And came across a map of the 1969 IOW Festival on this page

Now, I always thought that pop festivals in this era were pretty basic things - couple of joss sticks, acoustic guitars, 2000w pa systems. What I wasn't expecting to see - in the bottom left just south of the 'Environmental Playground' - was the 'CAR JOUSTING ARENA'.
This, I feel, is an element that has been lacking from subsequent IOW festivals.

They need to get a sub editor in...
Bob Dylan is identified as The Who in one photo and referred to as Bob Dyland in another. Shoddy work.
