DUNDEE LASSIE MEETS PRETTY THINGS - 1965

It looks like this picture was taken through net curtains - but ignoring the poor quality, in amongst there is Dundee lass Pat Whitton mingling with The Pretty Things in 1965.
The Pretty Things were a mighty fine band. They started off in the early 60's doing really tough & gritty versions of R&B songs, but come the late 60's, they changed with the trippy times, went all psychedelic, and passed the acid test with flying colours!
In their case, they even brought out a record called "LSD".
The naughty things!!
Anybody catch them play in Dundee?

HAMPDEN'S SILENCE - 1970

Largs, in Whitehall Street, were Dundee's sole ticket outlet for a rock & pop music festival at Hampden Park in June 1970.
The event called "Scene '70" was organised by bandleader, Harry Margolis, and announced in February that year, but unfortunately, the festival was cancelled just a couple of days before the big day.
