The Isle of Wight is said to be the most haunted Island in the world!
Got this photo from Flickr. The photographer explains it was taken on an iPhone and ... well what they say next goes completely over my head. Anyway they end by saying
... Hope it gets across some of the fun and excitement of the festival and watching the boss put on a fantastic show.
Had to include Maureen Van Zandt's photo too - a couple of tourists on the ferry
The festival was being shown on Sky Arts 1 in the UK. Well not all of it of course. Coverage of Sunday night started at 6.00pm and at 10.45pm we were still waiting. Well at least it gave us a chance to watch England lose the football - on penalties again.
Glastonbury 2009 was shown on TV and we were treated to a good part of that set so we were hoping for great things - well an hour or so at least. We got four songs - only four songs - and those weren't live! What a dissapointment
We might not have been there but NME.COM tells us what we already might have guessed
Bruce Springsteen voted best act at Isle of Wight Festival
Wonder who would have been voted best the year Ian and Irene went to the festival in 1970.
Ian and Irene (my brother and sister -in-law) have always been music lovers and came to their first Springsteen gig with us when we went to Sunderland last week. I think Irene may have chosen to go to Isle of Wight in 2012 rather than 1970. She apparently didn't enjoy - and I quote 'listening to Jimmy Hendrix play "Purple Haze" for two hours'. Don't know whether he was actually on for that long but it obviously seemed like it to Irene!

There isn't much I can say about the set list. It's a typical festival list - no surprises.
