I had that weird feeling when I came across this crowd shot whilst scanning Don McLean images for Universal (Music Group)

I remembered going to this free concert at Hyde Park (though I didn’t remember that it was May 1975, or that I’d recently turned 17).

I thought ‘wouldn’t it be funny if I could see myself in the photo’ – and there I am, luckily not obscured by the chair onstage – fortunate in the angle of the shot.

I remember being near the front, the weird little fence and how we all sat cross legged on the ground before the crowd filled out.

I remember enjoying Don McLean’s set, Joan Armatrading’s & Caravan’s too – though I left when Queen were still playing because I was starving & thirsty by that time….
