Islanders reflect on the "Last Great Festival" in 1970, people who worked for the visionaries who created the festival, those who lived next to the gigantic event and those who experienced the legendary line up including Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis and many more.
Originally aired on Isle of Wight Radio on the 20th anniversary - years before the festival would re-emerge in its current format. At the time, the creators - Ron and Ray Foulk - were not giving interviews. This documentary includes extensive commentary from Peter Harrigan who was press officer for the event.

Can't get it out of my head the way All Four Winds fits together with Everybody's Talkin by Harry Nilsson. So I mashed them up.
