I was right at the front and remember being pretty damn mesmerised myself! Could she maybe have been slightly refreshed? Title: Re: In the Cropredy 1982 video, who's the woman dancing in the... Post by: Dubai Danny on January 23, 2011, 09:07:34 PM Cheers Ed. It's a fascinating video because of the hints it gives as to the much smaller scale of Cropredy back then - the stage seems to be barely six inches off the ground! It's a shame that there aren't more wide shots giving a better sense of scale to the field etc.

Post by: Edthefolkie on January 23, 2011, 09:16:27 PM It was MUCH easier to get reasonable shots of bands etc with something less than a 300mm lens in them days, as the stage was fairly low and the punters could get really close. But this worked both ways - one drink too many and a performer could be close to landing among said punters! No names......

Another has been seen at Farnsfield Acoustic. It's all a very long time ago...... |
