It was the greatest experience of my life. We were calling it "tent city" because as you looked down the hill that's all you could see. Then in the paddocks behind the toilet block (some good stories about that too) it was full of Kombie Vans. I have never seen so many. I have only about two photos somewhere. Somebody did get some good ones of the crowds, the Angels etc because they stole my friend's camera from her because we got a little drunk. Anyway what a weekend!!!! Oh do you remember on the Sunday, the guys in the dam who were naked chasing the chicks and dragging them into the mud. One group we called the Sandies (because they rolled in the sand at the edge of the dam) and the other we called the Muddies. I will never forget that weekend, ever.

I hardly ever took a camera on tour even though I was a keen photographer. Dumb, eh? I do have some good stuff but nothing like I should have got. Oh well... I’m the same Rick.

Simply awesome sight. Do you have any shots from the back stage area at all? not from the stage back at the crowd like you could see had but there are some shots taken from the shower block on the hill looking down at the stage showing all the tents in between.

I remember looking out from the stage and the crowd was staggering...
