Memories on this night

"On December 31st 1969 I saw Family at The Marquee. There were red balloons all aver the stage and (Roger) Chapmann was completly crazy as he sang, jumping from side to side nearly eating his mike. The music was so good, the ambience so fine and the temperature so high in that a girl has fainted along me. The Marquee was over crowded and to evacuate the girl we had to drive her to the door over our heads. A very great night."
