Cannon Hill Park New People Concert. 31st August 1969. They came quietly into the park
Cannon Hill Park New People Concert. 31st August 1969. They came quietly into the park. The new generation, conforming to the new rule of looking unusual, were on another of their pilgrimages to their own
world of loud noise and little conversation.
This time the blues were free at a concert in Birminghams Cannon Hill Park, but it could have been anywhere. The faces are not important: it is the look that counts.
Hair stands on end or hangs in limp tangles, the most switched-on clothes are bought secondhand, faded jeans are patched not because of holes but because of fashion. It is all an impersonation of dropping out - to fall without letting go, to leave off a pair of shoes but not security.
Couples huddled together under the cover of their mutually long hair and the screaming melancholy of the music. More than 1, 500 new..people crowded together in a corps that does not know where it is going, only what it is leaving behind.
Our Picture Shows: The blues may be screaming and exploding but the mood is one of seriousness, serenity and sadness and that, after all, is what the blues is about. The music sounds exciting but, for the patched jeans society, the world as it seem to be one big bore
