1970 - 10th National Jazz & Blues Festival
10th National Jazz & Blues Festival
Plumpton Race Track, Streat, East Sussex, UK
August 6-9th, 1970
By 1970, the 10th National Jazz & Blues Festival had lost it's original identity as a jazz and blues event. Chris Barber was now the only jazz act on the whole bill and the rock artists filled the lineup, featuring a new generation of hard rock bands, such Black Sabbath, Wishbone Ash and Deep Purple, the latter of which set their monitoring systems on fire during their performance.
