    Excellent video. The bit with the tourists is very funny, and bizarre.

    I was at this it ended up being a whopper of a festival, I can remember the ravers coming down from London to see Spiral Tribe and the interaction between them and the travelling crew was quite funny! I travelled down with a mate and we picked up an aluminium pyramid on the way. If I’m not mistaken then possibly Hawkwind lent their PA. One of the funniest people I encountered there was a mad hippie who was going around with a cask of liquid lsd….we left after about 2 days the nonstop techno became quite grating after a while, I went to Berlin shortly afterwards.

    all the middle classes with motorhomes and stealth campers today dont get locals and police trashing there vehicles they only do it to poor folk

    • @reddyreddy2618

      Middle classes with motor homes probably stay at location where they have paid and are allowed to be there. Stealth campers, camp stealthily, tucked out the way. That might be why?

    Isn't this the one where we got busted leaving? I think it's where I right pop at Alex Rosenburger for banging on at the press about Stonehenge and trying to be our spokesman. Glad they didn't film it

      We never got it together filming 🎥 the party, as we always lunched it.

      The discussions with the cops contain all the important themes that are even more relevant today. Power, “democracy” , land “ownership” , access to resources, freedom of movement, self-determination…the same authoritarian system later decreed a “lockdown” on prison island because of a fake pandemic. Fight on people!

      @@counterculture23 "...as we always lunched it."....Amen to that one !!...Shame how the powers that be are moving back 30 years in attitude when it comes to Soltice and Avebury / Glastonbury and the "managed £15 access " BS at 'Henge. Glad I was around in the 80's and 90's to know what Free Festivals really were. Thanks for the upload BTW .

      2:36 this Capri is showing as being untaxed since October 1991. The Transit models in the video, like the Police one were introduced in 1986.
