Vintage rock and metal is still the biggest draw on the festival circuit - what other type of music from the 1970's still pulls that kind of crowd?
Classic rock from KISS, Motorhead, Judas Priest stole the show on the Friday night of this year's Download, proving the timeless appeal to all generations of rock fans.
www.planetrock.co.uk/article.asp?id=749036 I still remember Donington being the best festival for 6 bands in one day, rather than the Reading style 3 day eventer - 6 quality bands vs 3 days of loads of bands you generally couldn't give a toss about and a few decent headliners. Call me old-fashioned if you like!
Best Donington ever...? 1st one perhaps?
Iron Maiden's 1988 appearance was a cracker, complete with Guns N' Roses, Dave Lee Roth and Kiss - unfortunately, marred by the tragic deaths of two fans who slipped in the mud and were accidentally crushed to death. 1989's Monsters Of Rock was cancelled out of respect...
