When I see Live 1969, I think of this: From the archive, 7 July 1969: A glimpse of Britain in 10 years | Music | The Guardian

The Rolling Stones headlined, shortly after the death of Brian Jones, with Mick famously reading some poem. However, according to this and other reviews, the show was stolen by an obscure band called King Crimson. What happened to them, I wonder..?

Got my girlfriend up the duff

Well that's the right order to do it in Mr More.

Last year I had the remotest idea or interest in who was in the charts. Still think Queen is one of those new bands!

That was the year I was born, that was. 'Snot nosed younguns' - nice one Mr. D!

Woodstock!

And in April of that year a certain Robin Knox-Johnson completed a solo non stop circumnavigation in Suhaili. (Note: his book "A World of My Own" is a good read)

I were a twinkle in my dad's pants. Least until October I was.

tinpis · 25th Jul 2009, 21:40

Son ?

Great idea, bring back the Vietnam war and Nixon.

Maybe we'll all be happy again, come to think of it I was happy then knowing what I didn't

Two best jobs I ever had, Bartender and Croupier.

Newcastle won their only European trophy. Captain Bobby Moncur scored twice - the only goals he ever scored IIRC.

I was in the BOAC ops room at Prestwick at the time. Bloody hot summer it were.

Sprogget · 25th Jul 2009, 21:57

Tin, if you're my poppa, I'm going to church in the morning, cos it would be a miracle.

SSK, Newcastle won their last trophy...

That is a great find Master Draper. I will have a look on my now-ancient 5 year old computer.

I recall stories of our house being one of the few on the block to have a color television, bought for the specific reason to watch the 'moon shots' as they were called. That purchase was at Mothers' insistence.

1968, the year of my birth was more infamous than famous among the historical events contained within.
