As they walked on stage they were booed and had bottles chucked at them, it's quite a famous appearance.
Marc Bolan sat on the stage, stopped the music and said, 'Ok, I'll do you a deal. One song; if you don't like it, we'll go - but for one song, shut the ***k up'.
They did Ride a White Swan and by the middle of it everyone was on their side, it was fantastic :D

I used to go to Devizes Corn Exchange and saw Jethro Tull, Curved Air, Edgar Broughten Band and many many other.

And I was 15 :shock:

Used to get the bus from Corsham - which took hours and hoped for a lift back.

if not, daaaaad :lol: pick me up please, I missed the last bus, which actually went about 8.30, so no worries there then :lol: If I could get to Chippenham, I'd walk from there

Actually, having google-checked, I think the heckling may have been at Weeley, which is annoying me as I really thought it was Reading...
Oh yes Ton Curved Air, they were festival regulars :D
Lindisfarne were always a favourite, everyone singing along :)

Here's Weeley - yep, I was one of those :D It was a-ma-zing - and yes I was far too young :D
