First row - pass, pass, Maureen Starkey, Richard ‘Ringo’ Starkey. 2nd row & behind - Roger Daltrey, George Harrison, Patti Boyd, Cynthia Lennon, John Lennon (behind her) next to Brian Jones ( Rolling Stones )
I don't actually have the answers, but I think you're mostly right. Not sure about the fella next to George Harrison being Daltrey, I thought it might be Joe Cocker. But then I also thought the chap on the far right might be Cocker. Pretty confident Brian Jones isn't there because the pic is from the audience for Bob Dylan at the Isle of Wight festival in August 1969. Jones died a few weeks earlier.
I think Yoko Ono is mostly hidden next to Lennon, so that’s not Cynthia Lennon. Daltrey/Cocker……Syd Barrett? I thought the bloke right in the foreground, bottom left, might have been Dylan, a neat trick if he’s also on stage!
Yes, soon further scrutiny, l would say you are correct with Yoko there thus discounting Cynthia. Think you’re also right about Syd Barrett.
Not that l can see but you would expect that Clapton would be near Harrison & Boyd. Plus, it was around the time, that Lennon wanted Clapton in the Beatles, having already played on ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ on the White Album.
Like Kilburn I’ve ‘researched’ this gig and apparently Keith Richards and Charlie Watts were also there but I can’t spot them in this photo. No other names than the three Beatles mentioned, though the Who were also playing at the festival.
Defo not Daltrey next to George, defo Ginger Baker and Syd. Is it not a young Springsteen next to Yoko ?
There were a series of festivals on the Isle of Wight 68, 69, 70 and perhaps more. The first, which included the Dylan gig, was just a few weeks after Woodstock. Progressively bigger and louder. I remember staying at my grandma’s place in Bognor in I think 70, when Hendrix, the Who, Joni Mitchell, The Doors, Jethro Tull, ELP, Moody Blues, Sly and the Family Stone and Miles Davis (Miles ****ing Davis!) amongst others played to 600-700,000 people. The island had a population of 100,000. It was so loud that we reckoned we could hear it in Bognor, though looking at a map I think this unlikely (though apparently the wind meant the sound was all over the place). Nice invented memory for a nine year old though, I heard Hendrix play live, perhaps!
Yeah me neither really, can’t imagine what he would be doing there. The Who were there so it could be Daltry but I don’t think so.
There’s a girl looking right (above George Harrison), with what looks like Art Garfunkel behind her then a guy with a white jacket and crossed arms (Mick Jagger).
Gents, When l was looking at the original photo, l thought the guy far right, turning around was Jethro Tull but dismissed it. Now that ‘sb’ mentioned his name, l would think it was Tull. Of course, l’ll stand corrected.
