Very true. Back in the 60s and 70s we saw better acts in pubs than are headliners today.
Googled the line up for Isle of Wight 1970
Look who appears on the weekdays. Gary Farr: Supertramp: Chicago, Groundhogs, Family, Procal Harem, then look at Saturday and Sunday. Any of these guys would blow todays acts away.
